Gives me the shits when you hear Phil Gould say " Don't you love your Sunday afternoon footy.
Phil your mongrel mob channel 9 never give Eels a HOME Sunday afternoon game. We cop Thursday nights or Friday nights.
For those like me that have to travel Thursday night is a prick of a night to travel to or from the Bankwest Stadium.
Parramatta fans deserve some Sunday games but it appears the likes of Newcastle get the lions share.
I say boycott the advertisers of channel 9 game times.
Does the eels management ever protest about the lack of day matches for its fans.
In conclusion FUCK channel 9 with their match day allocations.

I think the NRL now set the schedule, not 9. I could be wrong.
This has channel 9 fingerprints all over it. Otherwise why wouldnt the NRL spread the matchday allocations around.
No, 9 got those rights back with the renegotiated deal.
Agree 100% Kerry. As a season ticketed member I'm over trying to make Thursday night and Friday night games because I don't get home from work until after 6pm. Forget trying to get there on public transport in time and finding parking is just straight out crap.
NRL Give us Saturday and Sunday arvo games at home, I mean this is the team with the second highest membership soon to be the top, so give us the game slots that suit the members instead of giving these time slots to teams that couldn't get a decent crowd if they picked their members up from home and paid for their tickets.
Channel 9, Can't stand their commentry and wouldn't waste my time watching it.
9 pays the bills, they pick who plays when.
I agree you can relax for the weekend.
Channel 9 are basically keeping the game solvent, along with Foxtel, they have every right to make whatever demands they want to get the maximum return on their investment.
We get Thursday & Friday nights because they are the prime TV slots that get the highest ratings, hence the most popular teams get those slots.
Gus doesn’t pick who plays when.
Warriors relocated, Storm relocated, Raiders have travelled 2,700 klms. How many home games and away have Eels played at Bank West this year? Panthers have played in Q once. Just an observation. Sunday is good but playing locally is better.
We had a few Sunday Afternoon games at BankWest in the first draw before COVID hit
We had Sunday games against the Dragons (Rd4), Panthers (Rd11), Tigers (Rd13) & Sea Eagles (Rd17) at Bankwest in the initial pre covid draw.
