Well the best news for us in Melbourne who love our Rugby League is that GEM (90 Digital) has started showing live Rugby League!
So last night I was able to watch Melbourne Storm beat the Newcastle Knights live, and then the Broncos beat the Dragons on delay (recorded). And I watched the last quarter of the AFL in between.
Sure beats having to record and watch the next day.
It's about time league fans in Melbourne get to see the storm live or at a reasonable hour. It will get better after the new tv rights deal is done and hopefully nine will lose the rights as they have done little to keep the fans happy.
The Storm were on fire again last night, the knights tried hard but where never going to trouble them too much but that first half from the Broncos was prob the best half of footy from any side so far this year. They were white hot...a good fightback from the dragons but the damage was already done.
Broncos v Storm is going to be massive when they meet.
