wow. we haven't played Parra at Brookie on not a Monday since 09. remember - rumour is this game could be moved to Gosford.
I think now it's announced it stays at Brookie, I'm still hearing chatter of the Warriors game being taken to Perth.
Man I hope this is the case. I can juggle work to be there for that weekend. Any inside word??? anyone???
I'm delighted that it's on a Sunday afternoon at Brookie. However, I must question the wisdom of those at Nein selecting the matches to televise. How can Parra ever deserve to be shown on free-to-air?
At least the origin reps get a 4 day break, could've worse if it was on Friday or Saturday. Need all the boys on board for 50+ against Parra, our for and against needs a boost.
ALL TEAMS deserve their fair share of Free To Air coverage instead of CH9's constant pick of Brisbane on Friday nights for example which is great for the Broncos and their sponsors and which also helps them attract more too where other teams either miss out or can't find them due to that lack of FTA coverage.
As part of new broadcast deal their should be a rule stating that every team should get a minimum number of games and also their should maximum number of games each club can have on FTA. They have this in the Premier League in England for games shown in England, in Australia we just get them all
