Seeing as the NRL is a f**king joke and CBF doing it, I'll attempt to clarify the mess the morons have made of this Saturday night.

MELBOURNE STORM v WESTS TIGERS
Originally scheduled for 7:30pm Saturday, is now being played at 5:30pm at Olympic Park. It will be shown LIVE on FS1.

COWBOYS v BULLDOGS
No change, still 7:30pm at DFS, game will be shown live on FS1.

WARRIORS v SHARKS
No change, still at 5:30pm AET/7:30pm NZT - game will be shown 9:20pm on Fox Sports.

I can't believe they've done this TBH. Their website as of about half an hour ago STILL had the original setup that they announced 5 weeks back.

It took me SOOOO long to work out what CBF meant. I sat here staring at those letters for deadset 5 minutes and then it hit me.

I truely am a code-breaking genius.

Good question, with the Warriors game at 5.30pm and the other two at 7.30 thats the usual Super Saturday.

TBH I was pretty annoyed with the original scheduling but the quietness of this change-around is a disgrace.

Originally the Cowboys (7) v Bulldogs (2) was given the delay slot. The Warriors (14) and Sharks (6) game was live however. The NRL have obviously deemed it ok to swap this around for Fox's sake but not bothered to fix it.

R69....you're a f**kwit to millions mate ;-)

The way I see it, there's a game being played at 5:30 AEST which is only being shown at 9:20. I'm not sure why the Storm game can't be played at 7:30pm, I suppose they think it's too good to be on delay in comparison to the crapfest which will be broadcast from NZ.

The Storm game would have clashed with the WWE event being held right across the road. Maybe they are hopefull some patrons will go to the game first.
