  • Foxtel must hate us too

    In the last week I watched 4 matches on Foxtel featuring Easts. Yes, Foxtel also showed matches specifically highlighting the try-scoring feats of Mini and SKD, which Easts obviously won, but every other match they have showed, the Chooks lost: Norths in the 80s, Cronulla, Melbourne (can't remember the other one...maybe Saints?).
    1985: 1 try vs Parramatta, 1 try vs Manly, 1 try vs Wests, 2 tries vs Souffs
    1986: 2 tries vs Illawarra, 1 try vs Balmain, 2 tries vs Norths.

          I'm really getting over fox tbh. Other than the 24hr cricket channel and fox league (only during the season) I'm not using it. Now they bumped up my subscription fee. Thinking long and hard about cancelling it

            So you want Fox to show only games that East won, we don't win every game.
            They show games from all eras and teams. Should fans of other teams only see their team never win against us?

            I think we get a good run of older games, probably no more or less than other teams.

              No I don't want them to only show games we won. I'm just bemoaning the fact that every game I've chanced upon in the past week were losses.

              Seems I missed some of the replays they put on where we won.

                  Kayo Sports for $25 a month is better value.

                  Foxtel is way past its prime, they haven't evolved at all & offer nothing in the off season apart from NFL & NBA. Other streaming services have killed them nearly off.

                        If I know we lose the game then I don't really watch.

                        But they did have a game from the 80's where we played the Bulldogs & i couldn't recall it but we ended up losing, but was still fun to watch the old hairstyles & old names you have forgotten about & the Biff & Bash they got away with.

                          The 2005 Anzac Day game v Saints is a regular on fox. Man I hate that game.

                            Yeah that one still stings - Matthew Head

                            They did play a game from 1996 I think it was yesterday where we belted the Vermin 62 - nil

                              The disappointing thing about that loss was we had beaten the Bulldogs with 12 men the week before and this was the chance for us to really get our season rolling. Tupou dropping the ball 5m out with the line wide open in the last 5 mins didn't help either!

                              Caught the tail end of that 1996 game. The best part of the whole game was Big Salvo's chip and chase right at the death
