How nice for them?

How nice for Souths to have their last 5 round games on a Friday night. Poor bunnies need a consistent 7 days break at this time of the year.

How nice for Souths and Roosters to have their round 26 game on Friday, having a couple days more rest that us ( we play on Sunday) before the first week of semis.

Round 25 Souths vs Tigers on a Friday right rather than Manly v Melbourne .....Please explain!

Ok, I will do my best

On Friday night, Souths and the Tigers will turn up to play a game of Rugby League, while Manly and Melbourne will sit at home 😛

I'm sure we can throw some blame on Greeturd for it as well.

I rather Saturday night. Less traffic and no one is rushing from work to the game.
Definitely prefer a Fox non-advertisement game versus a Ch 9 'hit me with as many ads as you can '.

No idiot Rabbits calling, nor any "I think I'm funny" Gould adding his sixpence-worth.

this happened as a result of the NRL being too stupid to book a ground and the AFL booking it and scheduling the Swans/Hawthorn game for the Friday night, meaning the Dogs/Penrith game had to be changed and, for whatever reason, 9 went with Souths/Tigers (I'm guessing that Fox refused to give that game up and pretty much had the NRL and 9 by the balls)
 
Melbourne vs Manly rates through the roof for Foxsports. It sees even non-fans of those clubs tuning in just to get a dose of quality football played with unbridled passion. They would never have given up that match.
