Wests Tigers will tackle fierce rivals South Sydney Rabbitohs at the historic Sydney Cricket Ground on Sunday, May 16, in round 10 of the Telstra Premiership.

The NRL today released the dates and times for rounds 10 and 11.

The match against South Sydney kicks-off at 2pm and will be shown live on Fox Sports 2.

In round 11, Newcastle Knights will host Wests Tigers on Friday, May 21, at Energy Australia Stadium at 7.35pm. The match will be shown live on Channel Nine.
 
Wow 9 chose Sharks V Panthers for it's Sunday game over Tigers V Souths. Nice

Definatley will not make the Newcastle game now. Friday traffic plus work = TV
 
unless fox picked it because titans vs broncs and dragons v dogs are the same week.

i heard it goes

Nine first two choices
Fox next two
Nine gets one
Fox last three

But either way at least its on a sunday
 
Ooooo, Newcastle, Friday night…...tempting. Would love to see what the new Stadium is looking like.

As for the Souths Vs. Wests game being televised by Fox Sports, I can only put that down to Ch 9 wanting to shut up the whining club CEO's about the lack of free-to-air coverage certain clubs have received compared to others. Cronulla was one of them. But when you're not winning games, you're almost set to struggle for ratings because the brand is considered weak as cats......The public and viewers alike want to be able to watch and tune into games that feature teams that are successful and are competitive. Cronulla, Canberra, Penrith, Nth QLD are the masters of their own destiny. Start performing and they'll get more than their fair share of free-to-air coverage. Continue to under achieve and suffer the consequences of being slapped with a 9.30pm delayed Saturday night, 2pm Sunday arvo timeslot.

I bet you the likes of Gus, Rabbits and Sterlo are spewing. If they had it their way they'd prefer to be at the SCG watching the Bunnies do battle with the Tigepies in what is now an annual nostalgic clash.

Probably because of the Sharks, Raiders and Panthers having a bit of a whinge about not getting any exposure on free to air tv. At least this game keeps 2 of those sides happy in the short term.

Works well for me. With this game now on Fox, it kicks off at 2pm. Coming down from Queensland, it allows me to catch a reasonable flight back early Sunday Evening…
 
Spewing 9 doesn't have this game. 3pm is much better for me as I usually have soccer on Sunday mornings, now means more of rush.

Can't wait to play Souffs, I sincerely hope we belt them.

I remember when Wests were struggling to win any games, we went from 1983 to May 1986 without a free to air match. All we had was the midweek cup which they had to show.
 
I remember in 2000, we didn't get any channel 9 games for the first half of the year, and that was when we were doing well. After enough complaints, they started showing our games, but at about the same time, the wheels fell off our season.

I felt like writing to complain, asking them to take us off…

Incorrect Ron Burgandy - 9 get the Fridays then Fox gets next choice with mondays and Sat evening game. Nine gets next choice and fox is left with the rest.

i thought nine got to choose what 3 games it wanted to air as they have the rights and then fox work out the rest, it doesnt make sense for nine to be left with only 2 games to choose from on a sunday to air
 
also if fox gets to choose what game is a monday night game before anything else why would they have chosen raiders broncos and souths sharks as their primetime games in the first 2 weeks, IMO it seems like they got left with the dregs and not made that as their first choice
 
Um …...they don't 9 get pick 5 of the remaining 4 games....

Friday night picks 1 and 2
Fox get pick 3 and 4....put them on when they want Saturday, Sunday or Monday....eg Wests Tigers v Manly scum....
9 gets pic 5
Fox 6,7,8.......

clearer.....
