You do realise that Gallop has nothing to do with when the games are put on right?

Fox Sports moved the game to Sunday.

I believe this can still be touted as the ANZAC clash - hell, no other aussie kiwi game is happening - who cares if its on ANZAC Day or not. As a kiwi I have no doubt that the Warriors will think otherwise.
Thought that didn't make sense but on re-reading I think it does...

I get what you're saying, and I guess it still counts, but its the whole emotion of it actually being Anzac DAY which makes it extra special for me

Umm, are you forgetting who signed the TV rights deal that allows the networks to dictate when the games are played?

This just highlights the stupidity of the TV rights deal signed off by the NRL.
It reinforces the need for a set year round fixture negotiated between the NRL, Each Club and the TV Ch... as per the AFL...
Clubs could request say 3 fixed games that are important to their team and the culture they are building.

But hey that would be logical.... Lets hope that things will change, but dont hold your breath.

its been moved again this just in on twitter vis triple m and nrl.com

TripleM_NRL Change of schedule for Rd 7. Storm v NZL (was Sunday 2pm) becomes ANZAC Day Monday 7pm. Canb v Newc (was Mon 7pm) now Sun 2pm

Well to be fair, AFL is not shown live into Sydney or Brisbane on a Friday night. Better homes and Gardens is on.

What does AFL have to do with any of the above posts? It's irrelevant in the context of this discussion.

WOOHOO the nrl has come to its senses and changed the game back to ANZAC Day.

Just comparing our competition is the other big competition.

Both TV deals on FTA seem to be the same, with some states not getting it live.

Friday night AFL games aren't live in Melbourne either...
