NSWRL Cup TV Coverage 2008

[Copa]

I liked watching what i could of the JBC on foxtel but the broadcast time made it difficult for me to see the games....

a weekly NSWRL game on ABC2 would be great.. esp if broadcast on weekends and then a delayed broadcast at night through the week.

the jbc was good to see on the telly this year. however.... the standard on the production of the actual coverage was very average compared with the abc coverage of the qld cup we saw beforehand. im sure if the people covering the jbc had the same budget of the abc it would be a lot more appealing

Be disappointed if they don't show JBC. Was hoping they would put on some of the Reds away games.

The games broadcast depend on whether your club puts in the money. I believe that 8 of the 12 teams paid this year. For those that did not - Asquith had no games, Shellharbour had 1 away game, Seven Hills one away game and Sydney Bulls had 2 away games (they would have got only 1 but in a wet week their game against Wenty was the only one not washed out).

Of course, once the semis come you get on without paying.

The producer of the show is too small to go to WA so WA will have to try to negotiate a special fee.

more interested in seeing the away games on telly as I'll be at the home games! Hopefully the clubs we are playing will pay up so we are on.

Setting up almost a pure NSWRL Cup website would go a long way, with up to date features on games, and some colour stories would be great.

Hopefully made by someone other than the present NSWRL web administrator. It's not a very informative site at the moment.

Does anyone have any updates on the television coverage?

As I feared it looks like the NSWRL will take the soft option and it will be combined with JBC on Foxtel. Stinks, but knowing the NSWRL I should never have got my hopes up.

Yep - disappointing news.

Now that the ABC's commitment to the ARC is null and void it presents an opportunity for games on ABC and ABC2 - a fair few vacant slots in the weekend schedule... though I'm guessing it's too late if the Foxtel deal has been made.

The ARC only ran for 10 weeks. The ABC will get a full year of Club rugby, as usual, except for 2007.

So basically it will be NSW Cup one week and the next week JBC?
