NRL on Nine

Or if they cared that much about the Adelaide audience (and let’s face it, they don’t for rugby league, even if it’s played in their backyard), they’d shove it into an ad break that NWS9 could sub out. But again, there’s too much money to integrate it into the broadcast… which goes back to the first statement in this post. :stuck_out_tongue:

At least the general rules where it has to be an “ad inside the broadcast” makes it easy for Nine (and as @OnAir has said, Sky in NZ, as bookies outside the TAB aren’t allowed to exist at all there) to block out, unlike the free-for-all that used to exist before.

Of course, if they actually spent a whole branded segment on it like the updates Fox League/Footy sometimes have between games, that’s another matter…

Well I am VERY glad that i didn’t watch the game at the Coffs Harbour hotel that appeared to be streaming 9Now.

For me, streaming is fine for smaller scale events or recorded content, but I’ll always go for terrestrial (then satellite) wherever/wheneve it’s available. Streaming is just too unreliable otherwise.

Was there really a 15 minute blackout or was that slide up just during the Sportsbet segment?

A slide up for 15 minutes apparently.

That seems insane and incorrect to me. I’d love someone to clarify.

I highly doubt that it was the case. They would run it only for the duration of the odds segment.

Unless it was a regional broadcast the person was referring to?

I would think they would be taking the same feed that is sent to Adelaide?

Unless it’s inserted at presentation?

Has there been any other report of this? It would presumably have been on Twitter or picked up by news.com.au or something if it had happened for 15 minutes.

ALL EYES ON ORIGIN HOPEFULS THIS WEEKEND ON NINE

FRIDAY NIGHT: SEA EAGLES V DOLPHINS
NICHO HYNES’ ORIGIN II AUDITION V CAMERON MUNSTER
AND THE MELBOURNE STORM ON SUNDAY FOOTY

STREAM NRL FOR FREE ON 9NOW

It’s the halfway point of the closest premiership in memory and that signifies make or break for teams outside the top 8 needing to start charging to the finals this week, beginning Thursday at 7.30pm on Channel 9HD and 9Now.

After an up and down beginning to their 2023 campaigns the Gold Coast Titans and Wests Tigers kick off the round on Thursday Night Footy.

Despite their inconsistency, both teams still find themselves within striking distance of the top 8 and have plenty to play for.

Then on Friday Night Footy the feel good story of the season rolls into Manly’s 4 Pines Park when Wayne Bennett’s Dolphins meet the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles.

A never-say-die attitude has endeared the Dolphins to rugby league fans in their first season, but they are yet to win a game outside Queensland. Maroons State of Origin and Sea Eagles captain Daly Cherry-Evans will be at his scheming best to keep it that way.

Then Sunday Arvo Footy offers the biggest storyline of the round. New South Wales Blues halfback-elect Nicho Hynes gets his final audition for the jersey left vacant by the injured Nathan Cleary when his Sharks line up against the Storm and their champion Maroons playmaker Cameron Munster in Melbourne.

Blues coach Brad Fittler will provide his commentary on the game live while Maroons coach Billy Slater reports from the sideline, both exclusively on the 9Network and 9Now from 3.00pm Sunday.

Interesting that the AFL states will see this on terrestrial TV before NRL states do.
