Plane delays could force Knights/Broncos schedule change

[Timmah]

Just heard on the radio (Star FM 104.5 Central Coast) that the flight the Toyota Cup Broncos side is meant to be on has been delayed and they may not arrive in time for the scheduled 5:15pm kickoff. If they can't make it in time it has been suggested the game be played at 9:30pm, after the main game.

Ok?
I think you put this one in the wrong forum Timmah.

It's to do with the NRL... people attending tonights game may choose to stay on after first grade...

Gotta feel for the people who get there early only to find they are sitting there for 2 hours + waiting for FG.

 

[Timmah]

I guess they might choose to also play it another day or not open the gates til 7:00pm...

Brisbane forfeit. They should leave earlier.

For an interstate game like this surely both squads would've come down yesterday? Unprofessional IMO.

Bold tactic, lets see if it pays off for them.

I think it could be a money issue mate.

:lol: @ your sig.

If you see someone breaking the rules somewhere in regards to their sig, report them. There are 22,000 members on here, the admin & mods can't be across every single one of them.

Yeah I know, I was just having a whinge. Careful though mate, your Bulldogs - Tigers banner is bigger than 20kb lol.

Since the Toyota Cup started clubs who have travelled from interstate get there on the day of the match. NRL only pays for accomodation for First Grade.

i heard on fox sports on saturday that something happened with the titans 20's flight to sydney for the panthers game and arrived just before kickoff to their game

set up a competition and then not fund a vital element of it, potentially leading to farce?

nice!

A lot of these kids have apprenticeships and uni, and even jobs.
They can take days off, but not every day.
