Rounds 14 & 15 schedules

[parano1a]

Storm fans get another Monday night and Monday morning game to look forward to...

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.

Confirms your status as a blow in.

2009 Repucom Stats Dragons were the third most watched NRL team

2010 Repucom Stats Dragons were the most watched NRL team

Had you have been following football before 2011 you would have remembered the amount Friday night games the Dragons received in both years, and the complaints from both Dragons and non-Dragons fans as a result. For those of us that actually attend football games, FNF is a blight.

Sunday afternoon at leichhardt v the storm!!

Lock it in for game of the year...

[BDGS]

Mebourne seem to be getting a few home games on MNF.

 

[God-King Dean]

*double*

 

[God-King Dean]

:lol: Oh BunniesMan....

Looks to me like of the teams in NSW, Souths easily have the most favourable schedule when it comes to FTA...

So tell me why Souths have the most FNF of any Sydney team after 15 rounds?

And with the exception of the Tigers game we've proven we deliver the best tv product of any team in the comp. Close game after close game, lots of tries. That's what tv execs want. Not the snoozefest that is Dragons games.

 

[Timmah]

Lots of tries against, you mean. average 29.2 points per game against ;-)

 

[God-King Dean]

LOL@50uff$ get a lot of FTA games for 2 reasons.

1. They have a large supporter base.
2. None of them can afford Foxtel.

Free to air games -

50uffs - 7
Dragons - 8
Dogs - 6
Sharks - 3
Manly - 5
Parra - 6
Penrith - 6
Roosters - 5
Tigers - 7

Notice how 4/7 came in the first 5 rounds, because as usual you talked up your chances. But since then you don't get many, because its same old souffs as usual.

 

[user_nat]

8 > 7

Dragons have more FTA games after 15 rounds.. I guess they have the brand of footy that TV execs want?

he asked about Friday Night football games, not FTA games.

 

[God-King Dean]

What a great year it's been for BM.

 

[Godz Illa]

Dragons were the most viewed NRL club in 2010. And finished a narrow second when AFL were included

Collingwood proved the most popular club across the board with a cumulative audience of just over 23 million, only narrowly defeating the St George Dragons when the grand final replay was discounted.

Aren't souths having 2 of their FNF games as the 9.30 game as well?

 

[E.T.D]

This should complete Melbourne Storm's commitments on MNF for 2011.

By any measure, 3 Monday night home games to this stage of the season is excessive and it's about time some Sydney teams do more of the heavy lifting hosting Monday night games.

 

[undertaker]

well, I guess Ch9 would be interested in Souths, as there was a keen interest in how Greg Inglis would perform at his new club.

Lol @ you moving the goalposts to suit your argument. Sunday arvo has nothing to do with what I was talking about, it's a mediocre game, the 5th best. I was talking about FNF. The first choice games every round. We have the most of those.

And since the first 5 rounds we've got 3, including the very latest. That would be among the most. And we got the most overall. That's all that matters.

8 > 7

Like I said above. Moving the posts to suit your argument is stupid. I'm not talking about Sunday. That's a mediocre game. We have more FNF. That's what I said in the first place, that's what the argument is about.

If everyone wants to watch Dragons games why don't they get more? It's because noone wants to watch them.

The fact that they've been extremely successful since 2009 and still can't get the most is hilarious. Imagine when you start missing the 8, you'll be lucky to get 1 FNF a year.
