Rd5 2024: 615pm Eels v Raiders GAME DAY THREAD @ GIO Stadium April 7th

[Soto]

This is what I don't get. Why now that daylight savings has ended is this game on at 615? The Canadian club company scheduling sux. This should've been a 2pm game. No need to have effectively a night game on Sunday.
The scheduling in the first month is also very strange. I firmly believe most if not all games should be a 6pm start or later because of the heat. With different time zones being NSW/Vic, QLd and NZ we could adequately schedule so games are later and tv is still being accounted for.
Play 4 games in Perth at the start of the yr if need be. 6pm there would be 9pm here. Food for thought.
My point is if you have read this far absolutely no need for 615pm start today

Wait so is it 615pm nsw time or canberra time?

 

[the phantom menace]

Both states have the same time zone, don't they?

 

[Twizzle]

Same as NSW

Im expecting a huge improvement this week which probably means our boys will be average again next week. Sadly its how our team rolls under the current regime.

Or it could be just how these blokes roll under any regime.

When it wasn't daylight saving (i am assuming before the early hours this morning), when Qld'ers go on the NRL site, do they see NSW time or QLD time? Does the website change for Qld'ers?

 

[Tooooks]

I get the feeling that regardless of the result, it’s going to be a shitty spectacle.

The times change for the actual timezone you're in. Multiple times I have been overseas during the season and it gives me the local times where I'm at on the App.

No it wasn't. It was being camped in Their 20 and not knowing how to score.

We know how to score, and it's not by throwing wild passes against aggressive defence. We needed to stay patient and let the Tigers wear themselves out, which is how we got to 14-6. Then we got bored and decided to 'play eyes up footy' with an eight point lead, on a hot day.

Pretty much every pro sport these days adjusts times on its site for your local time zone.

Squad trimmed down to 19, with Asi and Harper retained for possible use (or 18th man service) this time when the final side is confirmed.

Meni has averaged 14 mins over 4 weeks as the second hooker in the 2s. It will be interesting to see how many mins Boods gets today.

Are you hoping he gets more or less than Meni has been getting?

 

[the phantom menace]

Personally, I have no hopes either way but it will be interesting... more or less.

 

[JokerEel]

Probably gets just over 40 minutes. He and Hands will be on at the same time during the game

 

[Gazzamatta]

His spark has been missing the last couple of weeks. Its a big step up from Ball to Cup. Hopefully fewer mins for a few games might support his step up V bigger bodies.
Im sure Cayless has it under control.

Boooooooooooods!!!

I'm still trying to work out why that's even his nickname...
