So if this match is on at 1 pm Sunday then the kick off is at the same time as the Qld Country v Rising match.

Despite the two hour time zone difference, they conspire to stuff it up. Thank you NRC!

Well done, dickheads.

Are you aware that 3pm in Townsville is 1pm in Perth?

And what time is 3pm in Perth in Perth?

It's the time when people get in their cars and go home, my friend.

I see Qld County vs Melbourne Rising is televised live on Fox 503 at 3:00 pm.

Can't see anything about the Force v NSW country. Does anyone have any details on any broadcast or streaming if any?

See my post above, or go to the Fox schedule: https://www.foxsports.com.au/rugby/nrc/live-stream/schedule

It's pretty clear these games are scheduled at the same time.

Lots of matches appear to be being played at the same time across the season. That would have to be at the request of the broadcaster wouldn't it?

Why would Foxtel want that?

Dunno. What are your thoughts?

But I will say this going back to 2014. In my opinion, FoxSports took the rights to this comp as side bet, or a blocking property, so they were covered in the event of (the then) ARU not lasting the distance in Super Rugby.

In other words, they're not hyper interested in the comp itself which, as we must all admit, is low rating. The interesting thing is that the trend for Super Rugby is to converge into the same ratings bracket as NRC, i.e. no mention in the weekly dispatches. The rugby union bargaining position is continuing to be hollowed out.

The original draw had this game as 3pm local time.

I wonder if the Force know what time the kick off is?

I am aware of that, man.

It's also clear that FoxSports has them scheduled now at the same time.

Are you going to keep doubling down on this, Reg?

FFS. You'll be calling me a dickhead shortly …

It does seem strange that they are on at the same time, but if neither is to be broadcast on Foxsports, does it matter?

Providing they get the streams uploaded quickly, anyone watching can watch one live and then watch the other game afterwards.

Seriously though, what's the deal with the Force playing their game at 1pm local time?

It looks like someone has cocked it up.

Why not start them both a 3:00 pm local time.

Once you finish watching the first game the other game would be starting.

It's a complete culster fuck!!!!

Is there something else on in Perth at 3:00 that would force the schedule change, or is this a little up yours to RA and the NRC???

You're right.

Replays are just as good as live sports.

It's a second-rate time for all concerned.

Clearly the two hour time zone difference would allow two local 3pm games to go live, but that's too obvious.

I know! The rate of pay in Western Australia switches over to double time after 3pm on Sundays! This will save a motza.

It's second-rate all round for a second-rate comp.

Could the chip on your shoulder be any larger?

So Tim Sampson got on the phone to the FoxSports crew and the NSW Country Eagles?

"Better turn up early, boys, we're kicking it off early"

No no no.

This a Rugby Australia comp. As Strewth posted up the page (smart bloke, that cobber), there are other matches scheduled for this season where this will happen.

When you've run out of arguments, go the direct route sledge.

I'm resorting to posting facts!
