All I have seen is the "every game live" line trotted out in every article, but does anybody know WHERE every game will be shown live?
By that I mean currently 9 claims to show the Fri night game live, but its not live where I live
So I am quite happy if we have all games live across the country, but if its all games live in QLD and NSW and the usual crap everywhere else, I am not
Hopefully the NRL has realised it can't continue to hold aspirations of growing its supporter base whils at the same time ignoring non traditional areas
I work with a fellow who comes from NSW, but has lived here for many years, he can't afford Foxtel and he's telling me that he is turning off the League and watching AFL now due to not being able to watch the game at a decent time

Adelaide from memory.
You can bet your bottom dollar it's only going to be live into NSW and Qld.

It would appear that you aren't alone.....stats from Foxtel suggest Monday night footy rates very well.

If you're talking about City v Country, then yes, you're the only one that watches a game that the Blues selectors don't use to pick their team.

C'mon, where else can you see the few available dregs of the worst state rep team all on the same park at the same time? How else would the one from tenners pick who not to use out of Waqa Blake, James Roberts, Jarrod Croker or Jack Wighton?

Has Nine made any commitment about showing the footy in high def? The difference in quality between Fox and Nine is like chalk and cheese.

Good point.
They should be made to show it in HD.... huge difference in picture quality.

Yes that;s right Ning, I am in Adelaide - good memory!
No B'man, the games mainly are shown at 2 or 3 AM sadly
And while you can, if you want, stream the games, this is about the NRL trying to grow the game across the country
You can't expect growth if it isn't on the TV

Google ball: Online gamble at the heart of NRL's ploy to keep pace with AFL over TV rights
A good read here on Smiths all or nothing gamble with Fox and on-line content.
He will either be a genius or jobless.
I know I'll get rid of Foxtel if there's no NRL on it, not much else on there interests me that I can't get elsewhere.
