Clearly the Strom v Manly game should have been the Friday night game but we have seen a lot of Manly of late. I reckon the Broncos v Warriors game will actually be one of the best.

Storm vs Eagles woulda been good bt there was that issue with OP and the school athletics carnival. Maybe OP wasn't available for Friday nite.

Ah well, we'll still get the shield and then it's finals time! :D

I bet when the NRL did the draw they would have though Cowboys v Eels a week out from the finals would have been a blockbuster. Wrong.

I think ch 9 made a good decision, The Eels always attract massive tv audiences, and im sure Queensland viewers would appreciate it.

But as far as results go.......yeah fair enough Manly vs Storm no doubt.

Not sure what they were thinking only 5 weeks ago!!! It's not a start of the season decision... Cowboys form slump was well and truely on 10 weeks ago.

At the time it would have made sense. 6 Weeks ago I would have thought Eels v Cowboys clash might decide 8th position, so I cannot blame channel 9 for thinking the same thing.

5 weeks ago the Cowboys had seemingly emerged from their slump with a fairly resounding victory over the Broncos. Of course we now all realise that this victory was just an anomaly, but I can sort of understand their reasoning behind the choice.

They have lost the plot.

Eddie should be up before the NRL judiciary.

They should should share the game around the stations-at least four games every weekend free to air a la AFL.

That way the fans must score at least one match of interest.

Yeah probably should have been Manly vs Melbourne, especially considering both Parra and the Cows have to back up from Sunday afternoon to Friday night :\
