That fair enough.

Besides, those 4:30am starts were killing me!

This week they have other live commitments (EPL and golf), the earliest they could slot it in was 10am.

No complaints from me, just have to avoid hearing the score.

A timely reminder for us to use the "spoiler feature" when starting topics about the game/result before midday Australian time (or 3am Sunday for anyone in the UK).

To use spoiler, surround your post with SPOILER tags (same as you would with QUOTE tags) and then type an optional covering message of the form SPOILER="<message>" inside the first tag.

For example, here my covering <message> was "click here to open":

Spoiler: Click here to open

Enjoy the game Gaz_E

If they get decent viewing figures for the Johns games and figures are okay anyway even for the games on a week's delay, what's the chance of Fox showing all games live in 2006?

It's live in NZ and surely Fox would get more viewers than Sky in NZ?

Is Faumuina injured?

If not, Hull would be well advised to play him in the 13 jumper and get the ball to him at least once every set of 6. Playing him in the centres is a woeful waste of money.

Latest news is he is a 50/50 chance of playing.
I agree he is wasted in the centres but he played there out of necessity due to Yeaman's suspension but he is back so i think we should see Faumuina in the backrow.

The problem is Fox Sports's other live commitments this weekend. Fox Sports 1 has Presidents Cup golf, and Fox Sports 2 has the Bolton vs Portsmouth EPL game. Next year I'd like to see the ESL games broadcast earlier in the week than Friday, not sure what's going to happen though. As for live games next season, I'm not too hopeful, as their other programming will clash too regularly - particularly the EPL and both the European and PGA Tour golf.
