I don't really care about the regualr games but I want to see the Challenge Cup and ESL GF.

The St Helens Vs Brownies mob game was put back to midnight, and for some reason my IQ box didnt tape it. bugger.

Any news on the Challenge Cup coverage?

That was last week, not this week according to the interweb

In fact Rugby League coverage on Channel 9 on Sunday starts with the Arrive Alive Cup at 6am (will IQ that one).

I guess for Challenge Cup Final, we'll just have to check the guides later on next week to see what's been scheduled by Nein.

UKRugby on 9 is a joke. And whatever happenend to HD live games. Thankfully I lived here in Australia long enough not to expect anything from the woeful tv.
Thankfully I've decided to fly home to watch my wonderful WIRE. leaving tomorrow and will be at Wembley to Watch Mozza lift the cup!!!
I may get the opportunity to watch some decent tv too...

Delayed is better than not at all.

I cant see a listing for it in Melbourne at all.

yep - the footy was on at midnight AGAIN.

BTW saw an ad saying Challenge Cup final 'LIVE' at 23:40 this Saturday.

I work at the place where most of the TV guides are produced - it's definitely live in Queensland and NSW, but not being shown at all in Melbourne, not even on delay x

It's disgraceful - Ch9 getting the rights to the English game was the worst thing that could have happened in Melbourne - now we don't get to see any games at all :x

I wish Fox could at least show a replay of this game but it doesn't look like it... looks like I'm going to have to venture to Crown and hope they show it there (as they have the Sydney Ch9 feed, apparently).

As an aside, in this day and age you should be able to select which regional version of channels you want on Fox.

Reminds me of the RLWC 2008 where the final was shown live in Namibia and Mongolia but not in Sydney.

Um on the footy show last wednesday Vossy said that it was going to be live at 11:30 on the saturday, but checking the TV guide today its doesnt have it, just sum stoopid film.
