    The problem is that most of Perth and ALL of the media (minus perhaps 90.5) don't realise that there is more than one sporting team here.

    Channel 7 know nothing about rugby. Afew years ago I rang them to complain about the times the tests were being shown (same old same old) and spoke to their programming manager who's name was Jamie something. The Wallabies were due to play the Maori and he asked me why "that big guy Jonny something was not playing for the Maori" He was most suprised when I told him Jonah Lomu was not Maori

    If 7 are not interested in the rugby, and don't think it rates, why did they buy the rights for it????

    So others can't build anything to compete against them

    What - so others won't gouge into their so highly-prized 2%?

    The more I read about 7's decisions and experience of their coverage, the happier I am that I'm getting Foxtel if the blasted weather holds up for a weekend!

    Well looks like today's WOEFUL performance by the Shockers was enough to see 7 change it's policy. The Bledisloe is live FTA next week against them.

    What about a market on the Freo coaching jobg TG?

    Laidley = 5-1
    Danniher = 6-1
    Harvey 10-1
    Sumich = 10-1
    Voss = 25-1
    Connolly 1000-1

    I would suggested that inforcer and shasta should probably concentrate on keepin 'i like to rub my groin' juddys services in the e-girls than whats happening at freo. It really looks like they have finally run out of steam (or ice or what ever else they have been taking for the last 2 yrs). It is interesting to see that 7 has decided to show the final bledisloe live by squeezing it in between the dockers/eagles game. Unfortunately for the majority of the local players it coincides with most teams 1st grade games (and sum 6ths), meaning the people who would want to see the game wont be able to and would probably prefer if it was delayed. Shafted by 7 again!

    And therefore the ratings will be affected again and C7 will be "proven right" for not going live with the others

    At least the Eagles have their slump at the top of the ladder Dopedo, where are the Dorkers?
