I wouldn't have Fox on for many years after what they did to the League. I sent many a Fox salesmen running for cover for daring to knock on my door at 8.00pm at night. **THEN** I retired to the country, small town maybe 3 thousand people and an RSL club, 1 pub, an all night garage, and right on the water. After a year of normal TV, I figured we'd go crazy or broke going to the club for the non free to air games.
We watch every game, every week, as well as the Toyota cup matches, and we also get the movie channel and enetrtainment and the Sports Channel for $97 PM. Now that's just one night at the club if we have dinner and drinks.
Where 2 games are on at the same time, you have viewers choice so you can pick which game you want to watch, and then watch the other one later. It took a long time to forgive Fox, but in reality, I was only cutting my nose off to spite my face.
It is what it is, while I am a one eyed Tiger, from Balmain, and been a supporter for well over 50 years, I am ( more importantly ) a Rugby League supporter, and I just love the game, so Fox is important to me as between them and Nine, I never miss a game.
It's not for everyone, but it's also great watching some of the old matches on " Chooseday Night's ", and the weekend games are replayed during the week, as well as the Channel 9 games an hour later. So if you have other more important things to do at the time of the live telecast, you still can watch them.
BTW, Channel 9 has only one live game a week, that the friday night game. The sunday game at 4.00pm is an hour late in broadcasting. Unless you hear a radio call, it doesn't matter as when watching, it's live to you.
