NRL on Nine

I don’t think there’s ever been a Thursday night final. Turnarounds from the final round make it hard.

I daresay it could occur if the NRL ever introduces a pre-finals bye like the AFL did in 2016.

“The most anticipated final series in living memory” :thinking:

And can’t be bothered to goldenize any graphics or logo bug.

This looks pretty decent. Shoulda been full steam ahead with using it.

Of course Nine are going to say that. Every sports broadcast says that in the playoffs, finals series, play-in tournament, etc…

I don’t think the graphics in game need to be goldenised.

But they did just goldenise the scorebug that stayed on air during the promo for tomorrow’s game

On TCN, but not NBN.

Took them long enough to finally do it.

Agree, it looks nicer than Seven’s AFL one.

All markets outside NBN with the scorebug?

Brisbane and Melbourne have it as well.

Grand Final in the score bar is also gold:

Nine have Danika, Billy and Ruan hosting from the studios with Marlee and JT in Auckland.

I imagine others will be at Shark Park for the 2nd game.

Coverage finished just after 6pm when it was straight to news.

A good complement of hosts and experts at the ground too.

With Gus, Gal and Freddy all there, I suspect their caller will be there too. Mat Thompson called the afternoon semi from the studio.

Emma is wearing the same “Sharks Blue” outfit again today on the Sunday Footy Show. Not that I’m complaining, but just surprised she’d wear the same outfit two days in a row.
