Super League on TV in Oz?

[Lambretta]

So with the Super League season a couple of months away - does anyone know who has got the contract to show the games for the 2011 season?

Have Nine retained the right to not show the games or will Foxtel be showing the games instead?

 

[Lambretta]

Unfortunately I must regretfully inform the good people of League Unlimited that the English Super League will be mistreated once more by Channel 9 for the 2011 season.

So if they run true to form, we'll get one game a week and it will be shown at some godawful hour of the night when phone sex lines are advertising.

 

[RedVee]

oh no.
I wish they had beefedup the anti siphoning laws enough to force these guys to 'use it or lose it'.

 

[Lambretta]

I hope to hell this is their last year of having it

Their mis-treatment of a great competition is really hard to take.

The Millenium Magic weekend kicks off Super League this season

Does anyone know what Channel 9 are doing broadcast wise?
I haven't seen anything and the website (Foxsports) I would usually use to look needs a better level of flash player than is installed at work, so I cant check anything.

Does anyone have any info on broadcasts for the season kick off?

I don't believe you are sorry, at all.....

BTW, when does the season start?

 

[Evil Homer]

One week today.

 

[RedVee]

Thanks EH, I'll start scanning the TV guides.

 

[Lambretta]

Season starts 12th of February

Millenium magic weekend as well. All teams playing the same venue over two days.

I can't believe that one of the biggest weekends in the Super League calendar is unavailable for viewing here in Oz
