was mucking around on the ladder predictor on NRL.com & went to the finals week 1
it has the 2nd final on the Saturday starting at 8.30pm .. which usually ends up being 8.45 by the time the ball is kicked off
I recall after the debacle from last year ... where this final at the SFS only drew 13,000 ... that the NRL was thinking of scrapping this time slot .. & replacing it with the far more family friendly time of 4pm sat arvo ...
the news follows at 6.... & the 2nd sat final kicks off at 7pm
does anyone know if they're still looking at this ?
they really need to , if we end up with this one in Sydney like last year ... the crowd will be adversley affected again .. & while we all know Manly fans have faulty GPS's that don't work 5k's away from Manly ... they did have a half fair excuse for this one ..as it is a tall order for families to be in the city at 11pm ... on their way back to the burbs ...so they simply won't go.
I know it wouldn't rate as well on TV probably ..... but its about time the NRL told nine to F off ....as this one is for the fans
