The League Lounge (on Fox Sports)

[innsaneink]

Short & sweet...so thats it?
Man...we get treated like mugs sometimes.
I liked it...light hearted and easy to watch after 90% of the round of footy

 

[butchmcdick]

I didn't mind it.

The bit they did on Darius Boyd was pretty funny

 

[Tom Shines]

There was definitely a place for it... started slow but found its way eventually.

The "HELLLLLLLLLD ONNEEEEEEEEEEE" Tony Archer impressionswere brilliant.

Darius copped it a bit, as did several of the Dragons.

So that leaves us with only 1 RL program on fox for 2012- NRL on fox?

Shithouse treatment of league as usual from that mob. We get bugger all programs and the mexicans get a shiny new channel with a heaps of dedicated programming. Stinks to high hell this does. I bet fox sports 1 will still be saturated with afl programming as well as their fox "footy" sham.

On the show i thought it went alrite, something different at least.

disgusting the way they treat RL

next they'll show no NRL games in HD

They could still replace it with another league show,But i agree foxtel is to afl-friendly its just ridiculous

They paid so much money for the product (and they know it was too much), that they simply have to plug the crap out of it.
They have to try to get more ratings for it, if they show it people will watch?
Thats what they hope anyway.

 

[SoftSydney]

There was one really bad part to the show and that was Warren Smith, that guy is so biased and blows his own horn all day. NRL on FOX is a million times better with Ryan Phelan.

 

[CC_Roosters]

So what does that leave us for next year.
-NRL on Fox
-The Gameplan?
-The footy shows
-Sunday Roast

Am i missing any? Will surely be to late to add progamming with the season so close, possibly that is it if i haven't missed any.

 

[Brutus]

The League Lounge provided welcomed light relief on a Sunday night and definitely had its place.

Fox Sports are a disgrace.

They'd better replace it with something else league-related.

 

[Von]

Disgraceful decision!!!

But I am not surprised!!

It was a good relaxed laugh, and the perfect time slot on a Sunday night.

NOT HAPPY JAN!!

How did the 2011 ratings for 'NRL on Fox' & 'The League Lounge' stack up against AFL360, On the Couch, AFL insider, TheWinners, AFL Teams, After The Bounce?

I think Doc Brown would be able to supply that info - someone here should be able to suggest how to get in contact with him.

Dissapointing, was a bit of light hearted RL banter. Very poor that Fox only has one NRL show again. It sucks being the poor cousin!

 

[applesauce]

Pathetic up in arms response by a lot of people that didn't like the show or bagged the shit out of it in its infancy on here.

Most merkins on here whinge when they don't have something, whinge when they get something, then whinge when it is taken away.

 

[TheRam]

Farrrrrrk! I loved that show. Best new league show in freakin years...

FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[sputneek]

Bring back NRL teams. 1/2 an hour of team list explanation and debates. How hard can it be to produce ffs it's just graphics and it would rate well!

Provide some quotes or stfu....too easy to have a broad swipe at everyone.

...whilst at the same time, Vlad et. al. get a whole channel dedicated to Derpball.

I don't have access to ratings, but I thought NRL Teams and NRL Tactics were dropped because of poor ratings. We need to bring Doc Brown into this discussion as he can supply ratings & explanations for all things related to sport on tv.
