Thanks Geo, have been wondering what was going to be on the new channel
This will highlight what you see every week from every team in every game …when you are Live at the game...
GET EM ON-SIDE YOU CHEAT...
Well done Fox..
GET EM ON-SIDE YOU CHEAT...
Well done Fox..
Will be watching as little of the Johns shows as possible. 360 show I can cop but my favourite will be sterlo. Words of wisdom from this guy, without the bs of Johns and his clowns stumbling thru.
The Queensland edition I'll make sure to miss that one. And to be hosted by the conductor….. No thanks!! Really glad Sampson has come over she is quality with a capital Q.

Now Now CKTiger I might not have liked Mick Ennis as a player but he is great on the TV
My main question where is the uproar from all those people who claim bias from the media "Wests" they just called the club Wests no mention of Tigers - I mean if you lose the plot when its the other way why arent you equally as offended on here

This is all just a farce to push up the fees Fox can charge. A convenient excuse.
An extra $5 a month for the same coverage and programs we got last year with the addition of a couple of short variety programs. Wow. What an absolute joke.
It was completely unnecessary. We're paying for the same stuff we already had, plus a million extra replays of the previous weeks' games.

I'll be a regular viewer, although I agree that the Qlder show will be one to avoid - and for mine so will Bwaith's gig.
The girl power show has some heavy hitters although I don't know much about Jessica Yates and it's a pretty good break for Hannah Hollis, who could be the next big thing.

The league channel will be 502\. I hop today is not an indication on how they are going to fill the time. Think the Broncos v Warrington game is being replayed 3 times.
I would rather see NSW/Qld state cups, NYC or replays of old games than the weekends nrl games, and various panel shows replayed 6 times a week

If true it will be good, will hopefully embarrass the refs into not being so incompetent. They should use it to highlight forward passes too…..especially the ones that go 4 metres forward and are let slide by the refs.

That is exactly what it will be unfortunately, wall-to-wall repays ad nauseum. Look on the bright side, you can never get enough Bwaaaaiff, Cozza Parker, Gordie and Matty Johns. A flog-fest indeed.
