They no money though. It could go to SBS or 10.
Arenât 10 trying to get out of sport?
Yes and no. They are only bidding for sports when they see fit. An example of this, is the horse racing rights.
Like all the other FTA networks.

Just play the 12th Manâs Bill Lawry: This Is Your Life and be done with it. 
Or make it into a 2 parterâŚone of Bill and the other on his nose.

Itâs based on last couple of seasons. Matches that were exclusively live on Telstra TV, were replayed on 9Gem at mid-mornings during the week, just to fill the daytime schedule. If Nine wants netball fans to see their idols in action, they should replay the Telstra TV matches at around 4pm.

This afternoon Super Netball announced changes to this weekendâs fixture as the result of Queensland border closure to Sydney residents. Giants Netball and NSW Swifts will play their derby in Brisbane rather than Sydney. The league will now review player health and welfare, load and travel requirements before announcing any further changes to rounds 2 to 6.

Donât see much issue.
Firstly, how can the reviewer give a rating of anything let alone 2.5 stars on a line sporting event which hasnât been played it aired yet?
Secondly the description is pretty ordinary and a bit of an unnecessary put down.

I reckon itâs a basketball fan who thinks netball needs to die in a horrible, horrible fire? 
I canât find any replay of Vixens v Magpies on 9Gem on the online guides for next week, so if you are a netball fan but donât subscribe to Telstra TV or Netball Live app, you will have to log in to 9Now to catch up on the game.
Have you read anywhere that the fourth game will be available on 9Now?
