ROFLMAO. If there was a worse venue for MNF football than Brookvale, I think Leichardt might be it!

 

[smeghead]

Makes no sense to me.

City West Link and Parramatta Rd are sh*t fights most nights of the week.

And a FNQ team as well. Makes for a bumper crowd. Well done NRL

I would question why 3rd & 4th is not an FTA game.

I'm guessing when we see the full draw .... St George and Canterbury will be one of the 3 FTA games though. Thank you very much C9 you f**king morons, for once check the f**king ladder when doing tv allocations.


Thanks for the update Smeg, can finally book my flights in :thumn even though this now means an extra 2 nights accom

Super. Campbelltown gets 3 sunday afternoon games.
Leichhardt gets a Sat 530 a MNF and a ???
I am very over 3 games on a sat on only 2 on a Sunday arvo
I hate the amount of night time football.
Super Saturday should be cut to 2 games ... say a 6pm and an 8pm
And I'd be all for a lunchtime KO on a Sunday like they do in the PL for big matches
A game at 12 or 1230, one at 2 or 215 and the 9 game kicking off at 3, shown at 4
With every week that goes by the Administration of the NRL are looking more and more like utter gimps

 

[meltiger]

The 3rd game will be Sunday Afternon TMOTH


Souths @ Leichhardt seems to have been designated the 'tradition' game.

 

[meltiger]

BTW - Regular 12.30pm games on Sun won't work mate. People have too many things on the morning.

[skeepe]

Any news on the rest of the draw?

 

[ByRd]

So whats the full draw for round 20??? is it out?

 

[themanonthehill]

Sat 530 games don't work either
People would get to a big derby at 12 or 1230
A tigers parra, or saints bulldogs, or saints cronulla etc

[skeepe]

:shock:

Another 9 match for the Raiders? Why Friday though? FFS would much rather Sunday... still, shouldn't complain, any 9 coverage is better than none.

 

[lockyno1]

The TWO worst games on Friday..great work Nein. How does the Tigers/Cowboys game become MNF. Fair dinkum they sure know how to pick duds Nein. Roosters-Melbourne will just be a thrashing..and well canberra-penrith will be just as bad probally.

 

[Timmah]

Roosters v Melbourne I disagree with but Melbourne had to get on FTA at some point. Canberra and Penrith could be a good choice by that stage, and Manly v Parra goes without saying.

Surprised that Brisbane v Cronulla misses out but that said they were on a couple of weeks ago.

 

[lockyno1]

I agree with Brisbane/Cronnulla not being on. But please tell me a legitimate reason why Tigers/Cowboys are not on Nein..um you have a side on a 6 match winning streak and the Cowboys who have the best player in the world in Thurston. Um SURELY that is worth a Nein game! Just you wait, we'll have ANOTHER instance of a non-Nein game like Manly/Melb last week being the match of the round. These decisions on Nein are stupid to say the least!

 

[Timmah]

Just because Cowboys have "the best player in the game" it doesn't automatically entitle them to FTA appearances. Take into account the fact it's at Leichhardt and the Cowboys form has been largely indifferent all year. MNF is the third picked game anyway, after the two FNFs and before Sunday footy.
