Renamed: Nine to show live Super League matches

[Lambretta]

Very happy that Super League games are being shown on tv. I don't mind if they're on free to air or pay tv because I get both - but for all those people out there that don't have pay tv it will be great that they get to see some cracking Super League games.

I watched loads last season (at least 1 a week) and I loved them.

My team (Warrington) are on this week - so I'll be recording that and watching at the first opportunity.

Great to see it in the 2pm time slot. That's a great lead into the NRL game compared to the usual trash.

It will be fantastic to get to see some UK action

Also i don't know what everyone else thinks but i think this is really good exposure for the international game. I think the problem that league has had is that it isn't seen as a legitimate international game.

Also it will be good for people to be able to see these players outside of the 1 or 2 international games a year.

Last night's game was awesome, so good to see it on FTA.

 

[Non Terminator]

Couldn't agree more. Damn good commentating as normal from up there. I woke up poorly this morning but worth it.

Only a few suburbs of Sydney get NineHD.

 

[KalgoorlieRed]

It's Salford's first game back in SL and I want to see Celtic's first win.

Well you didnt see it at The Willows did ya!

It's not on English TV, so no. You will probably get the WCC the week after though.

NineHD is currently showing the Salford v Celtic replay.

Was it actually shown in HD though?

 

[IanG]

Well it's been on normal TV.

Last Sunday
1:00pm WWE Afterburn
2:00pm UK Super League
St Helens v Warrington
7:30pm Twenty20 Cricket Australia v New Zealand
10:30pm Underbelly: A Tale of Two Cities
1:30am UK Super League
Salford City vs Celtic Crusaders

 

[Chook Norris]

They should air it on Sunday arvo's.

11am The Sunday Footy Show
12pm The Sunday Roast
1pm English Super League (2 games, edited down to one hour each)
3pm WWE Afterburn
4pm NRL

you're almost correct!

 

[jed]

2 games edited down to 1 hour each wouldn't always work - where there's a Sunday afternoon game, it wouldn't have been played yet. Also, by the time you crammed in 4,392 minutes of ads, you'd only get a small amount of highlights of each game (roughly half). If we get nothing else, I'd prefer to see a full game.

That said, I won't be watching anyway - I'll catch the games when they're played earlier in the morning (once we start getting them live) and then watch the 2pm NRL game on Fox Sports. Best of both worlds.
