I thought I read they were going to be on, but it looks like they aren't.

They didn't even televise the Broncos/ Bunnies game on Thursday night the OPENING GAME OF THE SEASON.
Pathetic. Pissed me off. Had to watch a dumb replay at 9.30 on Fox Sports.

The NRL's tv deal is appalling like that. 9 keep bending the public over.

I just follow the games online with the Foxsports tracker. Bit disappointing though they can't show the games but i'm kind of used to it. And too hard these days to avoid all forms of media for an NRL match.

Great win by Parra soured a little by Junior Paulo looking at 6+ weeks suspended for a nothing tackle. If he played for Souffs or the Storm he would have been cleared. Once again it is who you play for when the MRP gets involved. I guess Pauli Pauli will come in to the team.

Just need to get the outside defence sorted. Forward pack looks massive and smashed Manly's pack for the whole 80.
Looking forward to Friday against the Dogs. They looked terrible for 65 minutes and still nearly pinched it - should be a good game and hopefully a big crowd shows up.

They are in Perth so I don't see why they wouldn't be in Adelaide.

As I said, I could be wrong. But it's not on the TV guide, instead there is a ranndom 70's movie on GEM. I didn't actually try on GEM because I assumed the program would be right.

Down at Kogarah tonight with the Red V ferals 
not a bad game this.
not a bad game this.
Agree that 9 should be doing things better but I blame the NRL they cared more about getting in a dick measuring comp with the AFL than their actual fans.
yeap same crap as online content all about the $$$$ can't believe i paid for the NRL then found the screen size is restricted, What the actual *?
Yep, it's bs, 9 are contracted in the broadcast deal to show every game live nationally on either Gem or Primary station and since early last year 9 Adelaide have been allowed to show the game at 11:55pm, no one seems to know why.

Absolutely stoked with the win against the Sharks. Thought Wighton was going to cost us with that brain fade but that tackle!
Think we have recruited well this off season.

Don't hate me but its Adelaide. Not much Rugby fans over there.
That may be, but it's hard to get any if the games don't start until midnight.
Wow its interesting that Melbourne gets more live games than Brisbane now.

You could stream them?
that's beside the point, to grow the game the NRL need it to be easily accessible on FTA, as agreed to by 9 in the broadcast deal. Casual viewers aren't going to jump through hoops to watch a game and if you can't get casuals watching then you can't convert them into fans.
