The Greatest Show on Earth - not shown

[Dazzat]

I am very disappointed that the best win in the Brisbane Broncos history (well by score anyway) was not seen on free-to-air television. This is a travesty!!!!

Eddie McGuire should be boned over this ... looks like Channel Nine beat me to the punch.

you cant blame nein this time.. the way the broncos have been playing they havent deserved to be on free to air

I can see your point Pierced, but the Broncos have been marginally more exciting than Bert Newton's Family Fued (only just) ... and that's been running for well over a year.

The bottom of the table side against a side with half it's salary cap on the sidelines and a bunch of 19 year olds making up half the team - never going to be a good game.

In the last 5 or so years (Or maybe even longer I can't remember back how far) Broncos games have always been shown in Brisbane no matter what, even if it's a Fox repeat. Any reason why it's changed this year?

I don’t think Bronco's fans (don't get me wrong, I’m one of them) should be complaining about the amount of FTA coverage the team gets. You could count the number of Bronco's games not shown on FTA in a year on one hand - try asking a Raiders or Warriors fan how they like their team's coverage on FTA

mcguire resigned a week ago, and why the f**k are you bitching, brisbane get more sunday and friday night games than any other team

Give us a break ... I don't mind if the Broncos are not on every week. I just want to see a 12 try romp ... it was just bad timing. Believe me I could have done without seeing the Broncos v Rabbitohs game.

hahaha if only we knew in advance and got them to switch ;-)

I'll be going to kograh on fri so hopefully i'll get to see the broncos carry over the same form of the hapless dragons.

Dazzat if you want you can catch all the action on www.nrl.com .

They have full matches streaming, hope that helps.

It truly is worth the effort.

I dare say they've probably realised most of Brisbane's rugby league supporters dont actually support the Broncos. Its taken them a long time to work it out, but finally something seems to be getting through to them.

New TV rights, put simply.

fair enough comment and one i've heard a lot form people who say that most of the people who attend broncos games arent broncos fans. i was surprised then that the dogs vs cowboys game drew only 16,000 (still a better crowd than they would have gotten at telstra)
