NRL have confirmed we play on Sat 25 at 7:50pm @ Suncorp
The NRL would not have done it for Melbourne Storm supporters. The NRL would not have done it because there is a clash with the biggest sporting event of the year. If fact the NRL said less than two weeks ago they were not moving the game time no matter who was playing. The NRL moved because Channel Nine would get bad ratings across the country because most of the country would be watching the AFL. Channel Nine would have told the NRL we pay you a lot of money and we not to broadcast for bad ratings and low advertising money, so move it. Money talks so the NRL moved it. Dollars is the only that matters to Mr. Ruba League.
According to our CEO, Melbourne Storm asked the NRL to move it to a twilight game this morning and was told no. But the decision to move the time slot is announced this afternoon by both the NRL and Channel. Hello, who runs the the game.

Sensible decision to move it. Wins all around.
Climate less of an issue. Players have been in QLD for months and it’s not humid yet.
Our 15 day turnaround and one less game should be a huge advantage. We should be playing a battle weary team

Are the opposition teams going soft on us this year?
Haven’t heard a peep of the usual “grubs that Melbourne are,”. No grapple tackles, crushers, chicken wings, holding downs, cannonballs, late leg hits, shoulder charges or do we expect these allegations during next week?
