Posed the question to greame hughes at 2sm, the producer got in touch to say definitely not fox sports. Surely nine could pick it up and put it on GEM or failing that the nrl could charge a one off fee on nrl live to watch online. I will be outraged if this doesnt make it onto tv screens here especially given some of the level of other overseas sports that so get broadcast.

I would like to think the rfl are in the prcoess of negotiating something

Who cares....sod australia

Spud if it isnt brpadcast here its one more reason for the game knockers to say international footy is irrelevant.

Ha e emailed the rfl about the issue and i would encourage others to do so im the hope that they reply to someone

 

[roughyedspud]

What channel is it being shown on in NZ?

Looks like Simon Mannering will be rested for the tour.

Sky Sport.


They are big on League over here. Show all the NRL/SL games that are televised plus 30 minute highlight shows of ALL the games shown. And they show all the "magazine" shows from Sky in he UK, Foxsports and Nine.

I'm sure I've seen it advertised on TV in between NRL games too.

 

[roughyedspud]

I wonder,just thinking out loud....seeing as its on the BBC here could the ABC pick it up in OZ?? They have a close relationship in reguards to sharing content...

You can't afford to rest players....you aren't australia..lol

If Fox can put on our TV screens irrelevant Rugby Union games then surely someone has to be picking up these games.. Channel 7 did the world cup.. If no one else wants it maybe they will take a punt on it... It is sad there is not more being said about these games in Aus..

Sent the RFL an email last Friday asking whats happening here for the series, no reply yet.

I encourage others to email them as well, to show people want it to see it.

It better be on Fox Sports.

Widdop has torn hamstring apparently from sources on Twitter. In doubt for this week's game and finals series. Do England have a half to come in?

 

[roughyedspud]

Yeah.....play tomkins at 6 and zac at 1


Thats a option

Got a reply from blake solly at the rfl. No specifics which is understandable but they are in the process of talking to australian broadcasters. Good news at least, from a quality point of view i would also prefer fox but it being on one or 7mate would not surprise me especially after 7 carried the world cup

Stop stealing Samoa's players. Also Taukeiaho and Lolohea played for Tonga this year.

Aren't you allowed to play for one of the top 3 teams and one of the lower tier teams? Idk the rules are all f**ked up

All born and bred in NZ. Tonga and Samoa should stop stealing Kiwis
