The lack of Souffs in that ad is disturbing.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

F*cking hated that ad!!!

I guess it was jsut a happy coincidence that it started playing when they were trying to sign the last deal and quicky went away after that....

 

[Pedro Morales Magonzales]

Yeah, it's one of those homes that gets investigated for mistreatment of it's residents.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

No HD
Abuse of scheduling
No live games in QLD on Sunday
Piss poor coverage in WA

Yes....."Home of Rugby League".

 

[ram raid]

That was trippy I'm drunk as hell and thought I was having double vision

 

[hutch]

Absolutely not. F*ck nein, have done nothing for rugby league for a decade!

 

[Brutus]

9's coverage of the Broncos v Souths game was extremely 2nd rate in all aspects.

 

[POPEYE]

Nine have never been. A perfect example of their naive hypocracy is when Jabba was trying to impress viewers not to miss Nine News between games when he undoubtedly would have been glued to the Fox game.

Fox, the real home of League, doesn't hide what they know is their superiority behind attempts at ignoring another broadcaster . . . even if that broadcaster is only equivalent to the outside dunny

 

[CC_Roosters]

By content and quality fox is miles ahead and I consider it to be the home of rugby league. Nine roll out the same old trash and personalities every year it seems and have shown no will to push the game or even produce new programming

 

[FlameThrower]

No way, delayed games, no HD , no real serious League program mid week, nil promotion of the game in other states, very poor or biased commentary, no innovation.

The nine coverage needs a massive revamp but they wont cause it still rates the pants off.

Weren't games on Ch9 supposed to be broadcasted in HD this year?

And what happened to those two hours of nightly RL coverage Ch9 were going to do on its digital channel as a part of the new tv deal?

I didn't watch it. What happened?

 

[insert.pause]

everything about their coverage is dated and wouldn't look out of place 20 years ago.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Everything you need to know about channel nine is summed up by their Monday night AFL programme in Melbourne.



They give a 1 hour serious show to a sport they don't even hold the rights to. But can't even do the same for the NRL.


Absolute merkins.

Yes you are correct.... Goes back to what I posted earlier no innovation in 20 years!

Has anyone noticed in their coverage they have swapped the teams. The home team is now on the right and not the left?

Yes I noticed the same thing, it changes at half time. So left to right then right to left. I don't recall seeing this done anywhere else, it's home vs away and that's it, u don't swap the home to away so that it is following the team on screen!

Thanks for the confirmation. It was doing my head in at first.
