        The main benefit of no Friday night games is not having a short break between rounds. I'm sure the football department are happy with Saturday nights and Sunday afternoons.
        We demand rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty.

            All about ratings and commercial value. NRL has a lock on Friday night games in Sydney, pure and simple.

            If you think it's because the members voted not to, you are seriously deluded.

            Personally, Friday night games are the best games. Especially if you work in the city.
            Obviously you didn't read post 5!

                Read it...... Just random words really.

                    I was trying to work out why channel 7 were playing benny hill show after the news and before the afl so it is now 30mins later on Friday than previous years.

                    THen I worked out that they are waiting for the league to finish before the afl comes on. Pretty stupid if you ask me, at that stage of the game, they may get people switching between the end of the league and onto afl, and might even take an interest if its on tv! If they have to wait up to watch it, they're not going to.

                    Piss weak from 7.

                        Nope, that was a day game. Whoops, no it wasn't....
