State of Origin 2021 - Game 1, 8:10 PM, Wednesday 9 June | Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville, Qld

I'd say 9 would have had a say as exclusive broadcaster. They'd prefer a bigger ground that allowed them more space to do their pre-game bs.

You think if the offers were reversed ch9's preferences would see it in QLD?

 

[HaroldBishop]

Ueah I don't think 9 had much of a say.

Pretty sharp work from the NRL to get this game relocated in less than 10 days IMHO.

Wonder if this will be a snoozefest like most NRL games are these days.

Pity they moved it from Melbourne
Tomorrow evening damaging winds from dusk up to 75k/h and pouring rain...

Lost interest in Origin, only excuse to watch it is to hang out and have a few beers.

Should have held it at neutral Canberra
These Origin conditions would have been remembered for all of time .
-1 to 7 degrees



Parts of Canberra could get a dusting of snow as early as Tuesday night, as a cold front prepares to sweep across the capital.

Snowfall as low as 800 metres has been forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday in the ACT, with even the possibility of snow flurries in areas below that.

Snow is set to continue into Thursday for elevated areas of the ACT such as Mount Ginini and the Brindabellas.

Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Melody Strum said while small amounts were likely to fall in the suburbs, it was possible for several centimetres of snow to fall in mountain areas in the territory.

I won't be watching this live.

I have a ukulele band rehearsal tonight, might watch a replay or a Kayo Mini when I get home.

Will there be a kayo mini for SOO mate?

 

[Sir Chadley]

I reckon there will be HB.

 

[HaroldBishop]

I reckon there will be HB.

Didn't realise they called the game.

I figured you more the Banjo type
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings but I doubt Kayo can do a mini if FOX is not broadcasting
Hopefully I am wrong and you get to watch the NSW win

 

[Sir Chadley]

Didn't realise they called the game.

Sorry mate I must be missing something. Kayo do minis on heaps of sport.

Fair enough mate, I thought it was generally only sport they covered.

I guess they either do a mini with channel 9 commentary, or use their own. They definitely don't televise SOO live.

 

[Sir Chadley]

Is that really right Fox aren’t broadcasting it? Has that always been the case?

 

[Sir Chadley]

You’re right HB. I just automatically thought it’d be on Fox. Oh well.
