Knights/Cowboys game live on ABC Radio?

[Grantwhy]

I might be miss-hearing things but it sounds like ABC Radio will broadcast the Knights/Cowboys game LIVE into North Queensland (and I'm guessing, live into the Newcastle region).

If so it not only allows us here in NQ a choice of coverage it also show that the ABC is more concerned with covering the NRL than the *cough*official*cough* Radio Station of the NRL.

I think we generally get coverage of Knights games on ABC in Newcastle, i could be wrong, but i think we do.
You might be getting it because they are already doing the broadcast, so they might as well give it to you too.

and it is confirmed, from the ABC NRL website:

- - - - - - - -
Newcastle Knights vs. North Queensland Cowboys Newcastle Stadium

Commentators: Craig Hamilton and David Fairleigh

1500 AEST for 1233 Newcastle and North Queensland

Looks like the NRL are getting great value for money out of the ABC and getting money from 2GB for poor service.


YEA! ABC \\/

Ray Hadleys bunch broadcast what Ray Hadley wants to broadcast, which includes a lot of irrelavant (to the comp) Manly games,( because his little mate Bonzo, OOps sorry Bozo is on the continuous idiots team) The''re not interested in what the best games are, just where they'd like to visit that particular week, Hadley hates Newcastle because Newcastle Hates Hadley. The ABC call is better anyway.

David Fairleigh has a lot of interesting things to say.

He really sees defence like not many people do.

I know I find it easier to rate good attacking play than defence, but Fairleigh points out both good and bad defence very clearly.

Yeah I echo those sentimants Hadley and his bunch are brick heads, though I do admit that I listen to the Big Fella call the Knights games

I cant deal with Ray Hadley, he is such a pretender, and you can hear him trying so hard to hide it...

He belongs at wentworth park on a saturday night calling b grade dog races.

Long live the ABC!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wasn't refering to Ray Hadley when I said the big fella.
One thing I'd like to know is how come that 2HD isn't in Big League under live radio times?
