Everyone is aware of the media bias against the fixed draw, i think there is a solution which is quite simple and would work for 9, fox and most importantly the fans.
Probably been mooted before but i feel it deserves attention given the current climate around the game
-Firstly Fox get every game live with the season set in stone with fixed draw
-Round schedule looks like this- FNF, Sat 3.00, Sat 5.30, Sat 7.30, Sun 2.00, Sun 4.00, MNF.
The 8th game is floating per round, it could be sun 6.30, sun 12/2/3pm or a second FNF.
-Nine retain their 3 picks per round. But they are able to pick them round by round as the season progresses. So this allows them to be flexible as form dictates which clashes matter as the season progresses. Perhaps the NRL could impose a formula on the broadcaster to ensure teams like canberra get a fair go on FTA.
This means that week by week nine can decide which games they want and hopefully force an end to the double up on friday as the rule and give us live sunday footy on FTA. Saturday 7.30 could become a regular feature on FTA, satisfying broncos fans
This could also lead to our regional teams such as Newcastle and canberra getting every game on FTA if nine where granted additional picks each week. Perhaps only for away games though to get people in the habit of watching their team every week if they don't have foxtel.
