NRL on Nine

It’s awful. Getting worse and worse. Give it up, 9.

For anyone interested. The ABC Sport DAB+ audio is around 3-5 seconds ahead of Nine via DVB-T.

Commentary is just as bad, nine don’t deserve to have exclusivity over origin if they are going to serve up slop like this

Matt Thompson was woeful tonight. Horrible commentary.

Come to think of it, I think the countdown clock addresses the confusion between how long halves are in both the men’s (40 minutes) and women’s (35 minutes) matches, similar to AFL/AFLW.

I didn’t think there was confusion?

Its a bit like tennis (kind of).

I still prefer to see the clock counting up.

Next Friday Night, the French Open Men’s Semi-Finals start at 10:30P.M. AEST and yet 9GEM in AFL Markets will miss the start of the Coverage as well, Why can’t they tell the Viewers in those Markets they’re off to the start of the French Open Finals at 10:30 AEST instead of airing the Entire Golden Point?

According to the Western Weekender, Nine switched to the countdown clock for consistency across the NRL board, with Fox League (since 2018) and on-ground clocks already using the countdown method.
