The clueless RFL put Saints v Wigan, arguably the biggest game of the season, on a Thursday night in January. Brilliant.

The forecast is for snow...

I was reading we won't be getting the SL coverage here this year.

Not like we don't have a Rugby League channel to put it on either...

That's a shame. For all the money the Australian networks have, frankly I can't imagine the SL rights would be that expensive.

Meanwhile, the fixture list has given Wigan the toughest start imaginable: first Saints away, then Leeds at home, then the Roosters at home!
That said, I will see all three games live, and am really looking forward to them!

Where did you read that?

It's on both Foxtel's venues guide list for 2019 and all three of the opening round matches appear in the EPG for this Friday, Saturday and Sunday morning AEDT.

I don't understand where people get this kind of info from without bothering to verify it first.

I'm very sorry.
