    Remember these days its about TV ratings. More people watch TV at night.

    Therefore dont hold your breath thinking things will change, especially while NewsRL and Ch9 have control.
    Geez you must be old !!!!

    It's all cash mate and no mater who runs league in the future they will be held to task by those who pay the most for the rights

      I sent the NRL a letter about it (I don't know what I'm doing because they won't care)

      Some extracts from it:.."The roosters have not played a game other than on a Friday night since I think mid August last year. And I usually have things on Friday nights and I get very upset when I can't attend a game because it is on a friday night"..."one sunday afternoon game I went to, Roosters v Manly, it was very cold and wet, would have been even worse from 7:30pm to 9:30pm than 3pm to 5pm"...Friday nights are also inconvienient because some people actually have lives and things to do on Saturday mornings eg take kids to sport and the kids have sport as early at 7:30am and they are getting home as late as 10:30pm or 11pm"...Saturday nights are alright because a majority of people have nothing to do the next day...Please make the roosters have more Sunday afternoon games or at least less Friday night games.

      Well I tried my best what will they do, looks like I'll only be able to attend 2 matches this year (not counting the foundation cup)

        Old man river........

        It would be interesting if Ch 7 or 10 actually outbid Ch 9, just to see how theyd want to structure the TV deal. They couldnt really fark it up any worse.



        The FlogPen .

        You know it makes sense.

          It won't take much to oubid 9 as they are near broke !

          10 might be the smokey......they might even bring to Moose out of mothballs

            they could have a chat show

            "backwards" "the gunn" and "rusty" with special guest comments from the "jman"

            im sure we would rate better than the footy show

              That would be the highlight of the show and also ensure it has an M rating too

                We could perform it like the naked news, that would bring the girls back to the footy.

                could you imagine the warnings at the beginning of the show

                "This show is suitable for mature audiances, it contains stupidity,nudity, binge drinking, a hell of alot of swearing and not alot of sense"

                proceed with caution

                  Will there be scented oil rubdowns and candle wax mate???

                  Imagine the beep counter when Jman appears, "you beepin little beepwitt, get beeped, muthabeepers."

                    The AFL free to air kills the NRL.
                    Friday
                    NRL: 1 match live, 1 delayed
                    AFL: 1 match delayed
                    Saturday
                    NRL: None
                    AFL: 1 or 2 live
                    Sunday
                    NRL: Delayed
                    AFL: 1 game live

                    Why doesn't Nine just either put the game on live or not show it at all on a Sunday night when they can put it on live

                      how is the nrl killing the afl then??

                      the afl offer more free to air games, and imo, at better times
                      the nrl show one game live on friday and charge us for the rest

                      ch 9 can get farked, i wont even watch our games live this season
                      i'll wait for the fox delay or watch it online
