Rounds 14 & 15 schedules

[nrlnrl]

Noone wants to watch the Dragons. That's why they get so few FNF games last year and this year.

If Dragons are high rating (they're not) why have they got so few FNF games in 09, 10 and now. They've been the best team in the comp in that time and yet channel 9 rarely chooses them. Noone wants to watch the Dragons play their style of footy in primetime. It's not suited for that.

Friday Night games in 2010 during the 26 rounds of the regular season :

Broncos 14
Titans 11
Dragons, Eels 10
Bulldogs, Tigers 9
Rabbitohs 6
Cowboys 5
Panthers 4
Roosters, Knights 3
Storm, Warriors, Sea Eagles 2
Sharks, Raiders 1

Highly unlikely. Almost certain to be Sunday 3pm.

I expect these Friday games
South Sydney Rabbitohs vs. Brisbane Broncos @ NIB Stadium, Perth
Wests Tigers vs. Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs @ Campbelltown Sports Stadium

then fox get the choice of
St George-Illawarra Dragons vs. Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles @ WIN Stadium, Wollongong
Newcastle Knights vs. Sydney Roosters @ Ausgrid Stadium
Penrith Panthers vs. North Queensland Cowboys @ Centrebet Stadium Penrith
Canberra Raiders vs. Parramatta Eels @ Canberra Stadium
Gold Coast Titans vs. Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks @ Skilled Park
Warriors vs. Melbourne Storm @ Mt Smart Stadium

how dumb is it that the tigers auckland game be on channel 9 once the game is over

why cant kiwi tv have a 1 off 6pm kickoff so they can show the game live into australia

f**k off ... 4pm kickoffs on Sunday are bad enough (just IMO).

Anyway I don't think Kiwi TV would be dictating the time.

Yeah, well as someone said on another thread, there is still a lot of debate between Ch9/Fox over that Souths/Broncos game. Ch9 want it so they can have two live games into both NSW/QLD (which would be the first ever time Ch9 has shown a live double header into both states), Fox want it so they can have a rare live triple header on Super Saturday. If what you say is correct and those two games are the ones Ch9 chooses (which I think they will if CH9 gets its way), then Fox will definitely pick Dragons/Sea Eagles and Knights/Roosters as their first two options (as their Monday Night and main Saturday 7:30pm matches, those two being the highest rating timeslots for Fox), as those two are by far the games with the 'highest-rating potential' out of those remaining 6. Which will leave Ch9 with a crappy choice for Sunday football. I mean, be honest, none of those remaining 4 matches are very appealing at all. Best bet is that Ch9 would go with either Titans/Sharks or Panthers/Cowboys, so they have a QLD team in each game.

I know this will never happen in a million years whilst Ch9 is run at the top by AFL lackeys, but if Souths/Broncos is on FN, I'd love to see Ch9 show it live into Perth at 7:30pm. I'd be interested to see how they'd rate, since Perth hasn't had live rugby league for a very long time (I can't remember any other games besides NRL GFs where league's been broadcast live on FTA in Perth), let alone rugby league at a decent hour on FTA.

I'm surprised that Tigers/Bulldogs game isn't played at the SFS
