Could say the same about Brisbane bias – the Broncos play on either Thursday or Friday nine out of the first ten rounds. Yes they might not be all-Queensland games, but I know a lot of NRL fans would love to see teams like the Raiders who rarely get shown on free to air TV live on Thursday or Friday nights. The Broncos are also not the only Queensland team – could show Cowboys or Titans as well rather than Brisbane every single week.
However I do agree with your last comment – as a Sharks fan I was very frustrated I had to stream the match on my phone. Would have been much better to watch on TV!
NRL releases draw for 2017 season, defending champs to kick things off
i’m with you Cadfael. Maybe Lyon sitting out would be good for his form? I.e. get some hunger back into his game to get back into the side. Nothing is better than having a number of players playing well enough to give the selectors a headache.

This is a really interesting idea. I’d be tempted to give it a go, however I’d be questioning how Warner would go batting with the tail-end. Partnerships are very important in test matches, but will batting with numbers 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 allow him to build these partnerships? Yes Warner can score runs and score them quickly, but without him doing this at the top end, we would be relying on him to do it if the batsmen struggled. And generally if the batsmen struggle, the bowlers tend not to do very well either (more so than usual). However, I could also see how it could be a positive, having Warner come in to the middle order and scoring some quick runs and possibly turning the game around (if losing), but I’m not sure I’d be game enough to try it.
Moving Warner to six is key in Australia's batting rebuild
