NRL Rounds 21-26

[Brutus]

Looking at that Saturday night 7.30pm seems to be the gun timeslot now.

So many stinkers on FTA. Suck shit nein. Some of those Sunday FTA games are woeful.

Killing Parra's season has f**ked up the blockbuster potential of the final few rounds.

 

[Diesel]

Good to see Rabbitohs get their Friday nights & Tigers Sunday arvo

 

[BuderusIsaBeast]

Knights who are running dead last with -329 F/A get 2 FTA games...lolwhat?

To be fair we only got 1 in the first 20 rounds. I agree where shit but the fans at least deserve to see us on free to air more than once a year

 

[STORM.99/07]

So the team coming first gets no Friday night footy all year.

& 2 more to make about 7 Monday games - f**king joke!!

welcome to our world.

 

[STORM.99/07]

Nope.

Saturday is good for me.

Just need to convince the mrs to let me and my boy make the trip down.

just tell her you are going no ifs and buts.

Its actually your 9th.

But not much to complain about, you only have 2 at home and (outside of FTA) monday gets the biggest TV audiences for sponsorship exposure.

And youre getting that consistent 7 day turn around the Broncos keep getting with their Fridays that everyone is so jealous of....

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Newcastle got 2 FTA games? Wtf

Faaaaarrrk!!!

I hate watching the Knights on FTA, the coverage is shit. Going out to the pub for the FOX coverage is so much better...

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

I honestly dont see the point of waiting to release these. 9 obviously doesnt give a shit about form.

Hopefully the ARLC is better at picking days (though im sure 9 will start "leaning" on them form more of the same)

 

[Snappy]

Not one home daytime game this season. that's pretty shit

 

[Card Shark]

Yes, every team should get at least 1 of every timeslot.

They were more or less chosen back in November when the draw was made - Fox accidentally published the whole thing. From that list I think there were about 7 or 8 changes total - mostly swaps between Saturday timeslots and I think one involving a Monday changing and another involving a Sunday swapping with a Monday. Otherwise it was as published back in November.

Which is all to say - they should just publish the full season and reserve the right to change no more than 2 matches a round say, 6-8 weeks ahead throughout the year.

saturday storm game suits me

dumb scheduling tho

 

[Last Week]

Our last game at Parramatta Stadium, ever, will be on a Monday. Ugh.

 

[st george dragons]

Our last game at Parramatta Stadium, ever, will be on a Monday. Ugh.

I agree with the "ugh". It's very strange to have that game on a Monday night.

It should have been on a Sunday afternoon.

The draw was done, who was to know it was the last game there.

It's a farce...the NRL pulling the wool over our eyes.

 

[Timmah]

The draw was done, who was to know it was the last game there.

I'm pretty confident they were aware of it at least being the 30 year anniversary back when the draw was out.

 

[BWNB]

It's common knowledge that the nrl is a corrupt farce.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Fox must be loving that storm vs sharks will be on Saturday. That game will rate its tits off.

This ^^ I find it an incredible decision...

They may be taking the piss but it's their (ch9) loss in the end . f**kwits.

 

[coolumsharkie]

Sorry but the way you merkins are playing you don't deserve any, lol it's hilarious. Imagine the promo for that game heading into the finals. :lol:

 

[Sea_Eagles_Rock]

Why is Parra vs Manly a FNF game? Seriously, we play about 6 of 7 on a Monday night, and then we are WAY out of contention and they put us on FNF against an opponent who are equally as out of the running. WHY?

3 CH9 games when it doesn't matter. WTF!
