Melbourne Rectangular Stadium
Stadium Australia
How do you know itâs a Sydney venue? Could be the Central Coast Stadium in Gosford.
Meanwhile I thought Nine was meant to be âthe home of Rugby Leagueâ. This morningâs World Cup Semi Final between Australia and New Zealand wasnât on either 9 or 9Gem. I guess they couldnât be bothered paying for simulcast rights given the time difference?
Fox League paid for exclusive rights to RLWC this year.
Channel Nine hasnât broadcasted a RLWC match since 2008 i believe. From memory i think Channel Seven had the rights to the Australian Games + Finals (or is it the Final?) for 2013 and 2017.
Correct - Channel Seven had the rights to the 2013 and 2017 tournaments, including the final in both.
It is - âthe home of Rugby League when we feel like itâ.
Fox bought exclusive rights my friend.
According to The Sunday Telegraphâs Phil Rothfield, Andrew Johns has signed a new 5-year deal with Nine and will continue to part of the networkâs NRL coverage. Paul Gallen has also signed a new deal with Nine.
I just saw a Queensland-themed NRL on Nine promo on 9Now. It mainly focused on the Broncos, Cowboys etc. Iâm in Melbourne so no idea why that ad was shown to me.
Because Melbourne is grouped with QLD when it comes to what state âtheyâre fromâ (basically the Storm are kind of a QLD team).
According to The Sunday Telegraphâs Phil Rothfield, Penrith premiership star Nathan Cleary has signed a new five-year deal with Nine, and will join Andrew Johns and Johnathan Thurston on various shows.
NRL 2023 Indigenous v Maori All Stars on Channel 9 and 9Now
The pride, power and passion of the NRL Indigenous All Stars and Maori All Stars will fire up the footy for 2023 on Channel 9HD and 9Now, from tomorrow at 12.00pm AEST.
In an Indigenous All Stars squad dripping with talent, South Sydney Rabbitohs superstars Latrell Mitchell and Cody Walker, plus the reigning Dally M medal winner for the best player in the game, Nicho Hynes, will line up to represent their heritage in what promises to be an enthralling encounter.
Standing in their way will be a Maori All Stars squad pumped up to play for the first ever time on home soil, where fearsome forwards James Fisher-Harris and Joseph Tapine will be out to inspire their mento defend their title.
Indigenous All Stars captain and assistant coach, Cody Walker, said:
âThis game is such a special one for us as players because it allows us to reconnect with our culture during the week and then go out and express that on the field.â
âWith the freakish talents of Latrell, Selwyn Cobbo, Jack Wighton, Tyrell Sloan and Daine Laurie in our team, the fans will get to see the most exciting players in the NRL.
âThe Maori people always have plenty of passion which weâve witnessed through the build up this week in Rotorua, so we will need to step up and make sure we match that and do our culture and country proud to bring the trophy home with us.
âWhat we do out on the field we hope inspires the next generation of Australians to learn about First Nations culture, because this is more than a game.â
The Womenâs Indigenous All Stars and the Maori All Stars will set the tone for the afternoon from 12.00pm AEST leading into the menâs fixture kicking off at 2.00pm AEST.
Featuring on Nineâs Wide World of Sports coverage of the 2023 All Stars fixture will be Billy Slater, Andrew Johns, Sonny Bill Williams, Johnathan Thurston, Ruan Sims, Danika Mason, James Bracey, Mat Thompson, Allana Ferguson and Peter Psaltis.

Nine doing a âSevenâ in Brisbane with same promo shown in Sydney and Brisbane featuring only AEDT.
Wonder if weâll see a new Wide World of Sports promo, featuring all their sports (maybe similar to the one seen during the Aus Open with Bracey and Kelly), but with the addition of the Olympics this time, maybe Nineâs NRL Menâs R1 opening night?
Anything Olympics needs to be ticked off by the IOC though, right? So it may not be ready in time. Also, they would only be able to use footage from 2012 wouldnât they? Unless they purchased the rights for individual footage from Seven?
