Channel Nine dilemma?

Well well. I cannot say they do not deserve it!
A clash of sports on a channel which given such scant disregard for free to air viewers this World Cup with showing only Australian matches.
Now they find themselves in a clash of which one to air on their main channel. Shame we have to put up with them being the only broadcaster for international rights until 2019.

Not sure if you heard GirtBySea........but the Aussies made the final.

Shame for the rugby fans then. How about if they did not make it?
I don't see the big deal, they have enough channels to play with so they air both games.

Personally I'd love it if the cricket was "demoted" to GEM.

I despise Neins coverage as much as the next person........but I'm not sure what the issue here is??

Who cares if it's on Nine or Gem? Same ****, different name.

I'll be watching it on Fox Sports anyway. I know it's the same coverage but I'll just feel better about myself.

Why is anyone still interested in Rugby League, especially in Sydney?

I don't think anyone should follow the game on principle until the players learn how to behave like civilised human beings rather than bona fide misogynous thugs, drug pushers, and morons.

I still follow League but have to say that I can't remember my excitement levels being as low. The World Cup Cricket probably has something to do with it though tbf.

Still, I'm looking forward to watching the Broncos game early today before the cricket starts.

I appreciate that cricket is on free to air in Australia - which is massively important - but having watched 'the verdict' on sky after the world cup games in England it's been a revelation to encounter quality cricket analysis. that short man who presents is great and Nasser's segment with the aussies and indians and how they prepare in the nets was awesome.

Wonder what 9 would have done if Australia didn't make it. Both codes would want their game on the main channel I would have thought.

Both codes did have their game on the main channel. They just moved the NRL forward so it finished before the cricket started.
