I am absolutley disgusted, but not at all suprised, that the 2 Channel 9 games are Penrith V Broncos and Roosters V Eels. They are all the Channel 9 glamour teams that get most of the coverge regardless of what form or position on the ladder they are. But seriously... the last round of competition before the finals and they have a game televised on Sunday which will has little or no bearing on who or what team plays in the finals. 2 games... Sharks V Cowboys and Tigers V Knights (of which I think both our finals hopes will come down to... winner taking 8th spot) that will have a huge impact on the finals do not get a go.

I know this is nothing new and have come to expect it from Channel 9... although I have been slightly impressed with a few games they have decided to show this year. They got such a big wrap last week when they programmed a Cowboys match to be televised... obviously this was someones mistake, but it was too late to reverse the decision.

Anyway... thats my opinion!!

Roosters and the Eels...OMG!

Why did they pick this game?

To see if the Roosters win the minor premiership and the eels the wooden spoon. I know the Eels beat them a few weeks back but this game is not what i would call a top match. Surely the tigers and knights would of been a better pick (could be fight for 8th spot).

because that game in better than a dogs vs NZ and a manly v storm game

But the Sharks V Cowboys game might also be a big factor in the finals race???!!!!

In a way I'm glad that we're the Saturday game. It means I can drive up and smash heaps of p..s at the game and the varioous night clubs in Newy stay in the Formula 1 and not have to invite my missus!!!!

It augurs well for a tops weekend of celebrations, especially as we'll qualify for our first finals series!!!
