  I think we go alright at night, all the semi's were night games bar the dragons one. Everyone wants to see what the Hayne Train will do next. He's a human highlight reel.

  I enjoy watching Parra play on Friday nights. Great way to end the week and wind into the weekend.
  
  It is the late game on Channel 9 in Brisbane so I'm usually well and truly liquored up by then as well...

  From what Rabs has explained to me:
  
  Channel 9 and Fox choose games to air about 6 - 10 weeks in advance.
  
  Channel 9 get to pick what they think is the game of the round and this is shown on Friday night in NSW at 7.30
  They then get to pick a second game and they usually try for a QLD team so they can beam this up there live at 7.30 as well.
  
  Fox Sports then gets to choose the 3rd best game and they show this on Monday night (who knows why they picked Souths this weekend?!)
  
  Channel 9 then pick a game for Sunday to air and then Fox choose for Saturday and so forth....
  
  I believe Parramatta, St George and Brisbane attract the most viewers so Im not suprised you see these teams on many many Friday nights.

  A healthy Parramatta is good for the game, it's that simple.

  Yes they are the biggest draw...That is why the Sharks never get any Friday night games.
