Number of games shown live in the first week in Brisbane… Zero (Thursday night game starts at 7pm local time). Way to go Channel Nine.
If you listen from about 1 minute 40 into this Crawley said they’d doubt they’d delay it again soundcloud.com/triple-m-nrl/steve-crawley-on-sunday-triple
Another lie from 9
Oh great (not!!!!)
If the rumours are true, the Broncos might be decimated for this match, and a commentator may be more infamous for something else happening at the moment…
