Yeah not really.
As mentioned at the end of tonight’s Ashes broadcast, Seven will show the RLWC draw announcement at 1pm AEDT tomorrow.
Kevin Walters joining Mel McLaughlin in Trent Copeland’s studio at Optus to announce the draw.
Using clean (wm-less) Nine match footage from non-WC matches. Well until NRL match footage.
Apparently the full draws were posted on the hospitality section of RLWC website this morning before they were pulled.
Oops!
Could have been told a Perth time and assumed it was Sydney?
No games in Melbourne? Massive failure on the NRL’s part there!
Brisbane has the final.
Is Pasifika the offical term in RL now? I know Rugby Union uses that mostly.
I think that’s HBF Park (Perth Oval) in Perth CBD.
I know what they mean, but they’re selling tickets to a basketball venue.
I wonder if the Draw announcement was relevant or not for viewers in Victoria as well as South Australia and Western Australia?
Perth is hosting games.
Wow, an AFL state hosting some RLWC matches? I wonder if Victoria will be doing the same as well.
Nope. As above.
Also, Perth will have an NRL team soon so not quite like Adelaide or Tasmania is hosting.
I’d say the VIC govt didn’t put up any/sufficient money - same as the ACT.
