Can anyone clarify / confirm the coverage of the Wigan v St. Helens GF clash for me here in Australia ?

So far all I can see is that Ch. 9 will be showing a replay of the game on Sunday night - hours after the game ! :(

There's no reason why they can't show it live - its on at something like Sunday 4am right?

Promote it as part a MASSIVE Grand Final day coverage and it'll rate its pants off for a 4am slot. Getting a bit late for that now though...

They could easily play it on GEM live - it'd be 3 am sunday.

Hell - I'd love to watch it at 8 am on Sunday before the rest of the Australian grand final day coverage.

Sending of an email to Nine now.

I can't find it on yourtv.com.au. I'm a St Helens fan, but haven't seen any games on tv since it moved to Channel 9. I'm not sure if they show Superleague games in Sydney but they don't seem to here in Melbourne. That network is a disgrace. Can anyone else see it listed anywhere?

It probably will be somewhere but the streams are often very unreliable, I wouldn't say it would be worth getting up at 4AM to watch.

I dont exactly sleep very much so I will probably watch it somewhere. Any suggestions? Big Pond the best bet?

Anyone know if Big Pond will show it. I've being trying all week to get an answer out of them and to find the League TV schedule on the website.....anyone have a link.

We want to show a replay of the game here in Chicago and all we can find presently is live coverage.

I've certainly found that in the past. I end up spending half of the game going from stream to stream trying to find one that doesn't cut out or is clear enough for me to be able to tell the players apart. Why channel 9 can't show the game live, when the alternative is likely to be infomercials, is beyond me.

So it is live in Chicago but not Sydney?
Channel 9 sucks, bring on the anti-siphoning rethink.

I thought Wigan's first half performance was outstanding and it raised the bar as far as SL clubs go, Michael Maquire has done a super job at Wigan so now it's up to the other clubs to match their professionalism and junior development.
