Sl gf

[Perth Red]

Is it being shown anywhere?

 

[Lambretta]

Surely Channel 9 are showing it?

 

[Lambretta]

Channel 9 are showing a delayed telecast on Sunday afternoon at 2pm according to the TV Guide

Expect them to cancel it at the last moment to show a 5 year old episode of Water Rats that no one gives a hamsters testicle about.

That's channel 9 in Sydney. Channel 9 in Perth wont bother at all.
Your only option is to fly East for 4 hours and pray that the hamsters testicle stays well and truly pouched!

 

[Chook Norris]

I find that channel 9 usually cancel SL when St Helens or Leeds aren't showing[open to correction]

in this case.. they'll most likely show it, it is the GF after all

Sydney and Bris will prob get it, that's all.

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

Does anyone know if the game will be shown anywhere online?

I don't fancy waiting until Sunday to, in all likelihood, not even get to see the game.

And the lucky countries are... US, Russia, Romania, Poland, New Zealand and "Middle East"!

I'm not sure what the following "Live" page does... might be worth a look at game time to see if it loads up any live options?

Apparently, the following "Official Live Service" page will not broadcast if it identifies you are connecting from Australia

What a f**king disgrace, I can't understand why the bothered to buy the rights?

FTA Television is for mugs, give it all to PTV

 

[Lost Loiner]

Perth Red - did you manage to find out if tonight's GF is being shown here in Perth? I checked the nine listings (on their own site), and on one it had it being shown 2PM sun, and on the other it had a western (Tall T?) being shown at the same time! Given that I haven't been able to watch my beloved Rhinos all season I suspect that the latter is the more likely viewing. Any news on the situation here in WA would be greatfully appreciated mate.

 

[LeagueNut]

Pay TV isn't much better - first they advertised the wrong kick-off time, and now I've been staring at a blank screen for the last 30 minutes, obviously some sort of technical problems but no explaination of what's going on and no "customer service" people available until 8am. ](*,)](*,)

 

[The Tank]

I watched the closing stages online. FMD, that was a BS video ref decision. Smith was offside! But congrats to Leeds, well deserved winners!

You can't say for sure that he was offside, it was centimetres in the decision, of course Saints fans will be livid but ill take it :crazy:

 

[andrew057]

Is Cunningham geniused?

 

[skeepe]

Wow, if we think our video refs are bad, that was a horrible decision. Clearly offside.

 

[1 Eyed TEZZA]

Yeah, terrible call, easily offside. Good game though, so many match turning moments, what a shame a refereeing blunder ruined such a good contest.

 

[ucantseeme]

Go Leeds Rhinos!!! 3 in a row!!!

Just under 64k in the crowd too.

 

[Johnny_L_O]

TBF I dont the the call was as bullsh*t as people think. It was very 50/50.

Forget about Lee Smiths body, its all about the feet. Danny McGuire's kicking foot was out in front of him, Lee Smiths 2 feet were behind him as he was leaning forward. It was very marginal and there were only centimetres in it. Also the ball on impact was level with Leon Pryce's legs, so were Smiths feet. BoD IMO.

Go Leeds Rhinos!!! 3 in a row!!!

Just under 64k in the crowd too.

71k 2 years ago, 69k last year. Massive drop this year due to neutral support getting fed up of seeing the best two teams play :?

Leeds actually had more than last year though there. The Saints effort was shocking though. There were massive gaps at thier end.

 

[Teddyboy]

The Super League season is too long and the comp doesn't have a enough clubs with good support sadly.
Don't think Super League can do much more.

 

[Green Machine]

Good to see the video refs struggle in the northern hemisphere as well. Saints can feel a little unlucky. 2 costly blunders from France’s Smelly.
If one thing pisses me off about watching Super League is the Leeds fans singing the same thing over and over again…..
but it was a good Sunday avo watching the Rugby League for me,
