Melbourne storm v manly sea eagles round 5 2008?

Question

whats the date? fri night sat night sunday arvo or monday night

any storm or manly fans know

the stupid nrl draw says round 5 but no dates and time, when will the nrl step into the real world and do a propper draw like the afl every game every week times and dates known so the supporters can plan ahead, no wonder the nrl is 20years behind the afl

Answer 1

like Condo said, its decided by the tv stations.

If its the first grandfinal replay, then you would have to presume it would be match of the round, and thats played on friday nights, it definitley won't be monday.

It is stupid, I agree, very stupid!

Answer 2

They play at Olympic park on the 11th thats a Friday night kick off 7.30

Answer 3

It was saturday night  mmm lets me guess Manly won 15-14 i think

Answer 4

i had a look as well and the best you can get is that its in Melbourne between 11-14,the full AFL fixture is there but for some reason the league is about 10 years behind,so yeah id have to agree with you

Answer 5

The time and day of games is determined by tv rights. So for example ch9 has to pick the next 5 or so friday night games in advance, then after that they pick the next five or so (not sure exactly how many). That's why sometimes you get heaps of bulldogs games in a row on friday cos ch9 think they will be good but like in 2007 they ignored Storm for a while until they realised they were going well.

Best bet would be for a friday.  Expect a surprise gun team to be ignored for half the year until ch9 catch up.
