Dont deserve to be allowed to show the great sport when they aint got a bloody clue about it.

completely agree, If you stick yourself in the defensive line, especially as a potential receiver, you gotta take the knocks.

Yes you did Bilko. What a bunch of Imbeciles.

Grand final programme only scheduled to be on for 2 hours according to Sky, can't be right surely? Especially if it doesn't kick off till 8.15am (per Bilko) Hopefully they will ditch the repeat of ManYoo-Sunderland straight afterwards.

They'll correct it eventually. Channel 9 are on air 4:30pm to 7:30pm which is 7:30am to 10:30am here.

The Sky EPG info also gives the same info about "15 a side fans not wanting to miss this special rugby union match".

Tune in to watch the world's finest drug-fuelled woman beaters take part in a contest that nobody outside a small corner of Australia really gives a fishes t*t about?

You're posts are getting worse and worse pal

Now changed, programme kicks off @ 7-30am as well.

They've updated the info on the website to "followers of 13 a side......" an all. Looks like they are taking the whole of the main Channel 9 programme.

The NRL have announced that Australian troops in Afghanistan will join Rugby League fans in more than 55 countries to watch the 2009 Telstra Premiership Grand Final between Melbourne and Parramatta.

No but as a Sky customer I have got it for a minimum of one month for £9

I see it as a PPV of £3 per match.

torrential rain in the homebush area now. if this continues if will wreck the GF

Well the rain sure did ruin things in 2003...

that was a great GF, i was there

before the game i remember looking at scott sattler and thinking poor guy, youll never do something in a GF like your dad ....

HD confirmed as well.

I've only just realised the clocks have changed in Australia so kick off is an hour earlier here at 7:15am.

It's pretty poor that ESPN have also not noticed this and have it still listed (on Sky anyway) from 7:30am when it should be 6:30am.

So those doing Sky+ are going to miss the first 15 minutes unless it updates in the next hour or two.

The NRL is so much better than SL.

Are your other 559 posts as informative ??

Yes.

What a try from Fui Fui.

I think his foot might have been in touch before he got it down but they didn't even look at it. What a run though.

Oh well, I want them to win.

Melbourne are choking harder than a bad pornstar

That would be a good pornstar.

And she won...they won.

The Melbourne Storm have secured their place in history. 4 Grand Finals and 2 Premierships in 4 years is phenomenal in the modern era. They've surpassed the great Roosters team of 2002-2004. And they've still got their spine locked up for years to come. Scary.

Isn't Greg Inglis racking up quite a resume? 5 years in first grade. 4 Grand Finals, 2 Premierships, 4 Origin wins. No World Cup yet though.

EDIT: Oh dear. Just looking at the stats from the game, Hindmarsh made 64 tackles in what would've been the game of his life. I would love to see him win a Premiership before he retires. Hopefully this seasn puts him back in the rep scene. I was convinced he was rubbed out forever (never justified), but there's a bit of talk about him again, so here's hoping.

Piss poor from ESPN, only the fact I got woken up at 7.20 prevented me missing all the first half.
