So AFL out of primetime beats NRL in primetime? Roy Masters is not going to like that one bit.
I’m livid. Watched the first half of the NRLGF thinking it was nicely balanced. Flipped over to “The Newsreader” at half time and flipped it back just in time to see the last couple of minutes. Heartbroken for Brisbane. Yet to see the replay, but I’m going to try and enjoy it.
Nice share for 9 as expected. That comeback was insane, game was a great watch! Nathan Cleary so good 🙌😍
Remarkable resilience from MKR against a live sport final. Seven successfully saved that show by shortening seasons and going back to basics.
Whopping figures for the NRL grand final on Nine. One of the greatest ever grand finals I have ever witnessed. Telecast was excellent, I think Nine lifted their game for this one.
Heartbreak for the Brisbane Broncos, snatched from them it in the last 2 minutes, but they’ve played exceptionally well this year. Next year maybe?
