But whatever they put on will get totally outrated by the AFL so what do they have to lose?
I'll take a stab and say the NRL finals would get more viewers than whatever else they put on
Here is a fact about channel9 's coverage of the NRL in victoria
in 2005 the tigers won the grand final and I was wrapped as a life long magpies supporter.... I suffered the 14 game loosing streak hoping things would get better, and they did
Channel9 showed the game live....thankfully...and I got to see my team win the ultimate prize, or so I thought....
as soon as the game was finished, they closed the coverage and cut to a repeat movie "ghost" I think it was.... I NEVER got to see my team lift the trophy!
Just because we follow the NRL, we are treated like 2nd class citizens. The NRL needs to make sure that the television provider that wins the rights when they become available, no matter who they are, show the games LIVE right across the country
How can the game grow, if grass roots players dont get the chance to see thier heros, week in, week out?
End of Rant!
