Thanks for that, damn my Sky + box for freezing on this recording and on the Bronco's from this morning too!!! Just had to rebuild everything!!! Just what you want when you wanna watch something!

Few problems...
Would play until late december unless NRL season was shortened
What about players that are out of finals series, could be 6 weeks without a game going into origin
32 regular season games + finals + rep = injury tolls... hasnt thought about it really.

what role was he offered?

he was axed.

the role they offered him was nuthin

Yeh those olden days when you did a days work, two nights training, played 32 league games, county cups, county championships, play offs, tests and challange cup were pretty soft.

The current crop arn't half doing it the hard way compared to those softies

Free footy show?

So you can watch it even if you don't subscribe to setanta?

you could last night

No he didn't, as a 16 team league would have 30 games in a full home and away season. Didn't he say there would be 2 rounds per week?

yes . midweek games is what he said

It was the first time I had seen the show and I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the fact that RL was discussed at an intelligent level.

Over here, Sky and the BBC position everything at the beginner, which is fine at first, but then it starts to grate. Many of the people watching the matches are RL fans and understand the technicalities. I don't feel we have the balance right here.

Also, on the Brett Stewart issue, it was very refreshing to see that the NRL CEO and the panel were happy to discuss this issue, rather than holding back, which would definitely have happened here.

footy show soon .in an hour

what channel was this on again? I thought only Setanta viewers got the Footy Show??

Series link if i can get it!!!!!!!
