World Cup 2017

Please just play footy.

Assuming CH7 aren't like CH9 and kick off at the scheduled time I'll tune in at 8:05pm. I might miss 5mins of the game, but I'll be assured to miss So You Think You Can Dance: Rugby League.

You should tune in earlier, Mal's team might make you a better person.

I’m pretty sure channel 7 have got Dan Guinaine calling the games for them. I rate him, does a pretty decent job with Triple M, which includes working with a handicap of having a moron like Wendell Sailor with you. Will be interesting to see how he does in a televised environment.

 

[Capital_Shark]

Working with Wendell on radio wouldn't be all bad. If you felt like having a bludge just ask Dell how he's going and that **** will jaw on about himself for at least 40 minutes.

I don't rate him.

He yells and isn't articulate.

He'd make a decent contributor to the other forum. That is all. He wouldn't even make it here.

They showed the team rehearsing it the other night on the news.

Looks embarrassing, like a university review

I disagree. He’s no good because he yells? EVERY Rugby League commentator yells, it’s kinda what they do. Especially on the radio when they need to emphasise the exciting parts a bit more.

I think your being a bit harsh.

 

[CrazyMatt]

On another note, anyone find it a bit odd that Nu Brown has missed out on a halves spot in the Samoan team to Ben Roberts and former Captain America himself, Joseph Paulo?

 

[HaroldBishop]

I hope either England or one of the other minnows wins the WC.

I forgot Uncle Wayne is coaching them. **** England.

I don't like the way he uses his vocals. Some raise their voice but he sounds like he's being murdered in Belanglo

Looks like channel 7 are showing quite a few games over the weekend. Noice.

They obviously bid a decent chunk to get it, they would be crazy not to use it.

Really? I wouldn't have thought the rights would be worth that much tbh?

I reckon this World Cup will outrate the A League and Basketball

That's setting the bar pretty low.

That's setting the bar pretty low.

The quality of the A League and NBL is a debate for another day.

But what else is on at this time year?

No free to air network is interested in those leagues.

Yet a Rugby League World Cup, which is basically an afterthought compared to the NRL, has been picked by a free to air network.

So, clearly, it is worth more then you're giving it credit for.

My response was to Deano saying they're worth a decent chunk. I doubt they paid a lot for them.

 

[Capital_Shark]

$10M CH7 is said to have paid for the Aussie rights.
