Fox Sports to show Toyota Cup live

From staff writers
February 27, 2008
FOX Sports has announced it will broadcast live every weekend two matches of the Toyota Cup - the NRL's new national under-20 competition.
The Toyota Cup will run in conjunction with NRL matches and showcase the game's elite young players, coaches and referees.
All 16 NRL clubs will field teams in the Toyota Cup including the New Zealand Warriors.
Live coverage of the Toyota Cup will precede Fox Sports' Super Saturday and Sunday live NRL coverage.
NRL chief executive David Gallop said: "The Toyota Cup will feature the future stars of our game and we thank Fox Sports for their efforts in ensuring as many fans as possible are able to enjoy watching this competition."
Fox Sports chief executive Davie Malone said: "NRL coverage on Fox Sports has been an incredible success (and the Toyota Cup) is another exciting step in our partnership with the NRL."
The Toyota Cup kicks off on Fox Sports on March 15, when Parramatta take on the Bulldogs at 3pm (EDT).

Geroovy! Hope they have a highlights package of the rest of the games each week as well...

 

[MarkInTheStands]

That is AWESOME.

 

[strider]

that's sh*t!



sorry - i was just trying to be different .... it is actually pretty cool

 

[MarkInTheStands]

I wonder if sports ears will work for that game as well ?

 

[fish eel]

I cant wait to see all the new threads we're gonna have about the next superstar or the next over rated kid now that more people will see them.

woohoo.

 

[Kornstar]

This is awesome, i hope we only get 5.30 Saturday games all year so that i can have them all on tape too

 

[The Engineers Room]

I just hope that Channel 9 show a game of the round on the Sunday before the NRL.

woohoo.

Well I think a few will be surprised if they haven't seen these guys play before. For some expectations will be a little high.

 

[Hellsy]

Great news!
Especially for out of towners!

I am expecting this. Good news for those that love drama and 1000 threads with players names on them that they will all be starting soon. And every thread will end up in one of the few pre determined areas that I don't want to mention.

 

[Hellsy]

I wonder if the games they will show will be ones played at certain grounds?
Or if they will show games from places like Ringrose

By the sound of it. It will be the games before the 5:30 Saturday Night game, and the game before the 2:30 Sunday game. (Both Covered by Fox Sports). I believe, and I am sure someone can correct me here if I am wrong, but all NYC games have to be played at the same day and venue as the NRL games.

 

[Hellsy]

Thought so.
Still great news!!

 

[The Engineers Room]

Yeah this is NYC not Premier League so no Ringrose Oval games. But with luck that FM station that was broadcasting the games may do it again this year and if we keep lobbying the ABC we might get the PL on the TV.
