Probably because channel 9 signed a lucrative contract with the makers of "Gilligan's island "or the makers of "Get smart " or whatever crap they put on before the footy to be aired at 3pm and they can't afford to break the contract ???

We (Qld ) get the intrust super cup games Sunday arvo in the lead up
Any reason the usual 2.00 pm game that Fox gets couldn't be the Ch 9 game and then Fox then has the 3.30 pm game live ??

Just another idea while I'm at it
Why can't we play 16 games a season in country venues in Qld , NT, NSW ,PNG and NZ and then have them as the Friday night game to prevent the Broncos getting 20 Friday night games a year ??

live sunday afternoon game on nine has been talked about for years, everyone's been whinging about it but it will effectively become a night game mid winter. I always thought the sunday arvo game was a bit of an institution when played at 3pm.
on the topic of scheduling, they definitely need to do something about the friday night games. they should both be on live through 9 and gem.

Thats the pay off
Kick off will be moved to accomodate Channel 9
Less ''sunny Sunday arvos'' & more ''gloomy darkish twilite" games
That said the 5 minute ad breaks after tries currently really kill the momentum of watching the Sun Nite game….I usually tried to avoid the score, and IQ the game and FF thru the ads...not easy avoiding scores
