At least I weren't the only one. Recorded it to watch it the following morning to find out I had missed most of it.

...and yet there were some on here decrying Premier not getting the rights to super league

Live coverage of the Auckland 9's Day 2 wasn't scheduled to begin until after the NASCAR event had finished, which, IIRC would be sometime after 3.30am. This was evident to anyone who made a note of their TV schedules. You obviously didn't do that.

The full Auckland 9s Day 2 schedule (including all the non-aired "live" group and quarter final games) were shown on delay this evening from 8.15pm onwards.

Hope I have helped you resolve your ignorance in this matter.

See above.

BTW.....notes for the organisers of the Magic weekend.
Auckland hoteliers didn't decide to play dick turpin this weekend, even though 22k of the 25k each day were "out of towners" at the 9's........if the whining s in Cardiff want to know why they lost Magic, they should ask their hoteliers.......I've already pre-booked the same place for next year at the same rates.

Yeah you're right, sorry, I only caught the start and then the end very early on Saturday morning here, after the Warriors' last game when a lot must have left. Watched the recording back and then all yesterday's games and it looked pretty packed!

Much better than Magic Weekend that's for sure

People should note that rugby league is not as big as rugby union in NZ, so for Aucklanders to get behind the Nines like they did shows that the concept is a winner if promoted properly.

The question is: does the RFL have the wherewithal to make the concept succeed in the UK? Of course Sally Bolton and her team of World Cup organisers could work on it. But I wonder if Nigel Wood is capable of adapting to the very concept of a Nines in the UK in the first place, in order for it to be pursued and for Sally to make it a success.

That'll consist of the issuing of sundry promo codes allowing tightd fans of Super League to purchase adult weekend tickets for a fiver then?

How's your hugely discounted Premier Sports package going?

Alas Jean.....not even on TV....
Day 1 peaked at 148,000 viewers, Day 2 at 175,000 with both peaks at times when the Warriors were playing....lowest recorded figure was 109k on Sunday afternoon. These are encouraging figures, but I hope they can get a deal done for FTA TV next year......the more people that see this the better.

Quite.
