How often do you watch NRL?

Shift worker...
Watch as much as I can.

Don't get to too many games and hate delayed televised games.
Will watch live on TV only or listen to the radio if I can at work.
Will watch tigers replay if It sounded like a good game.
 
Every Tigers game except the 2nd half of the 7:535pm on Saturday and any other good games i will watch (Roosters/Broncs, etc)
 
I watch as many WT games as I can, but miss out if we go camping, fishing, kayaking etc on weekends. I also watch other games, if they look interesting, whenever possible.
The refereeing of the WT/Souths game put me off though. It won't take much more of that to give me incentive to find something better to do with my time.
 
don't know about you guys but NRL has got so boring recently...NBA; NHL; NFL and even AFL feel so much more entertaining these days. Perhaps because of years of ineptitude I suppose (The NRL that is)...
 
@trentrunciman All these **** rules and penalty crackdowns has made the game a lot slower than it used to be
 
@Matto I AGREE!!!! a lot of my mates used to meet at the pub to watch the footy on Fridays. We don't anymore. No one really talks about footy in my circle of friends anymore. A little sad.

Shout-out to the one that "made rugby league great again" (or at least tried to) @toddgreenberg
 
Thread needs a poll. We can do them now, right?

I only watch Tigers games and occasionally some or all of another match. Usually just bits and pieces here and there. I don't care about other teams soi don't watch them.
 
I always watch us, albeit sometimes on replay.

If time permits, I'll watch the Dogs. I have a soft spot for them.

I'd probably watch more but some of the commentators are deadset brain numbing.
 
Full credit to tigers fans though. Supporting a team of perennial under achievers. Never making the finals and looking likely to not make the finals for the near future. Yet fans still support them. Huge props.
 
Continually losing junior talent to bigger and more successful clubs was really one of the last straws for me...

Like I said before if the NRL bothered to implement a draft system of sorts we wouldn't lose talent like Paperhazen for nothing. You could trade your assets for more assets you need in key positions...I always renewed membership and was stoked seeing teddy, Moses, paperhazen, ado Carr (saw him a lot at the sharks playing fullback) etc come through only to lose them and get nothing in return...things don't look like abating either.
 
Watch the Tigers, and probably one other game per week. A few years back I would have watched 3-5 games per week, got fed up with how some teams get better treatment than others.

exactly what the tigers were thinking to be honest. How long did Teddy; moses et al stay here? let's see how long those baby sharks stay after their contract expires. The system doesn't work. It's top heavy. The difference is also they're coming into a winning culture (of sorts) @ the sharks. Once your contract runs out Storm; Broncs Souths et al offer you a contract and you're gone.

It's not like the NFL or NBA where you get drafted and you stay with the team for 5-6 years.
