    Or Fletch was stating a conspiracy theory?
    More both your own and Fletchs inference that the love that channel nine has for Brisbane would see us shafted and not getting the Friday night match due to the fact nine would not only want Cowboys and Brisbane but also be accomodated with it Which they have not been

      I never said that we wouldn't get the Friday night game.

      I think Ch9 will continue to make the most sensible commercial decision they can which for a lot of the time means picking games the Broncos are involved in. That's just a reality.

      My only inference was that it wasn't a conspiracy theory because it's not, a conspiracy is a secret plan intended to cause harm which isn't the intentions of Ch9 at all, they're just making the most logical business decision which they have.

      Had we played the Sharks I think Fletch probably would've been right, we would've played on the Saturday night and in a sense been shafted because first place should get every advantage but a poorly negotiated TV deal sees Ch9 with all the power.

      That's not a conspiracy and that was my only point. So it is you who is wrong.

        In regards to had we played the Sharks I agree However you will see that my 1st comment in here was that the make up of the top 4 was not yet certain

        AS FOR THE REST What a crock of utter shite. The inference was well and truly drawn by both you and Fletch that Brisbane and Cowboys would be the Friday night game I can bring up a few posts which clearly show this

          Here the one Where you use the word Premise which means an assumption that something will happen To describe why Brisbane will get the Friday night game

            Yeh that's talking about the premise of Fletch's point. That it wasn't because everyone is against us (conspiracy) it's that because Ch9 love Brisbane (which is fair enough given how much money they make them. My points were only in relation to whether it was a conspiracy theory or not, not when I thought the game would be played.

            I never made a comment about when I thought our game would be, in fact in my first post in this thread I used the word 'if' our game is on Saturday, clearly stating that I didn't haven an opinion one way or the other.

            Mix my words all you want, for someone who asks me so often to admit I'm wrong you're sure doing a lot of digging to avoid the same.

              if we get moved to either Saturday night/sunday and the worst happens and we lose, we then have a shorter turnaround for week 2 of the finals and actually lose any advantage of finishing top of the ladder.

              What a crock of utter shite again In the same comment regarding the premise we would be shafted because of channel nines love for Brisbane you then continue to go on saying quite frankly this is a reality. This is a clear indication you believed the Brisbane game and not ours would be on Friday night You can deny this all you like but It is very very clear

                Brisbane are the India of world cricket.

                The numbers dwarf everyone else.

                  No it's a clear indication that I believe Ch9 love Brisbane, that is the reality. There's no conspiracy about any of it.

                  It's not my fault you lack basic comprehension skills.

                    Only because they have an entire rugby league mad city to themselves.

                    Still, Suncorp is as silent as a mouse for their games. They don't have a lot of passionate fans.

                      That's the main reason.

                      And there was no way we would get a second Brisbane side while News owned them and the NRL.

                      That may change soon but it would be pretty rough going for the new team.

                        More shite and spin doctoring which is what you have done throughout today

                        PS Not once have I ever mentioned a conspiracy in this All I have said to start was the make up of the top 4 hadnt been made up. Then today go on to state I think you believed the game on Friday night would be the Broncos game because you believe channel nine love them A statement of yours backed up by facts of just how much free to air coverage Brisbane get on Channel nine With all of this in mind it is hard for anyone to think you didnt actually think Brisbane would be playing the Friday night game and not us

                        Enjoy your day

                          I know you haven't mentioned conspiracy yet, if you had it would've actually been relevant to my post.

                          You have no leg to stand on anymore next time you follow me around to get me to conceded to something.

                            I think you miss the point. Its not about love. Its about money.

                              Yes & Ch9 love money.

                              The point hasn't been missed.
