What the hell happened to Friday nite being match of the round.....the
Manly/ Knights clash is obviously the best game.  I wonder if the choice of
the (FTA) friday game has anything to do with optus vision.....

Nice try, Greg. Did you conveniently forget that all games up to and
including round 14 were programmed *before* the start of the premiership?
So your assertion that Optus may have had something to do with this
obvious match of the round being played on Sunday is flawed don't you
think?

Hmmmmmm......although i didn't know about the early programming, it still
doesn't change the fact Newcastle v. Manly was always going to be a more
attractive proposition than Norths v. Balmain (i.e. last years 1st v.
underachieving 9th compared to last years 3rd/4th v. overachieving 10th).
IMO, my comment still stands up....

Your argument could also apply to the Wests/Newc game over the
Manly/Parra one.  Even though I'd love to see every Manly game
televised :-)  I think it is more to do with the ARL trying to
share around the TV games.

Well Greg, as good as the Manly-Newcastle game is going to be I for
one didnt mind the e***ment and determination of Balmain to topple
the Bears.

GO YOU BUNNIES!
