Here's my email to sportsnet.... i don't expect them to reply.
wow, I can not believe that on the most anticipated game of the rugby league calender.....Queensland verses NSW you screwed the viewers over again!
Scheduled to start at 2am....you had 90 minutes of soccer before the game started.
Your treatment of league fans is disgusting. You did this with the grand final last year...I emailed you then but you guys were too busy rolling around in your piles of cash to bother to reply to me. I then forwarded my complaint onto the National Rugby League which I will do again.
Maybe you should try doing this with the Stanley cup finals telecasts and see the reaction you get.
Bigots.
You rock global.....here's my email to the nrl....
Hi everyone. The SOO match on your international broadcaster was scheduled to start at 2am. In fact it did not start until close to 3.30am! Even though I set the pvr to record 60 mins after game end...I still lost the last 10 minutes.
The shows they were broadcasting were not live games and in fact a whole bunch of soccer 'drivel'.
It is embarrassing to me to invite people over to try and spread the word of rugby league in canada only to have to download the last half to complete the game.
They (sportsnet) did this with last year's grand final as well. It is terribly unprofessional. They have not done this with any other rugby league match this season. It was simply terrible.
I realise that you probably have no power over rectifying this but as a huge rugby league fan, I felt the need to let you know how this great game was being treated by your overseas broadcaster.
They did not respond to my email regards last years grand final (you guys did) and I don't expect them to with this complaint.
They would never do this with their ice hockey telecast so I don't think that at 2am, it is too much to expect they show some professionalism and broadcast at least close to when they advertise.
Thank you for your time.
