Glad to read that we are not the only club/fans whinging about the uneveness of Channel Nein's and Fox's scheduling. The Cowboys complained earlier in the week, citing the advantage that Brisbane have. Now Cronulla has a legitimate gripe, being scheduled for their seventh Monday night match.
I totally agree that they have been dudded. The Independent Commission cannot let broadcasters dictate the season's schedule next year - that is the role of the official body. They set a salary cap to even out the competition, yet allow broadcasters to influence results.
I know some of you will say that broadcasters pay big money so they are the masters, but I totally disagree. The AFL has shown how it should be done. Sure, you will get the occasional dud free-to-air TV match - but that's what we had last week with Titans V Easts and again this Friday with Illawarra V Easts.
