New Zealand hope common sense prevails when league officials draw up the finals schedule, but there are a few logistical headaches for the NRL and Nine.
New Zealand Warriors chief executive Cameron George hopes his club is not forced to host a final at nearly 10pm local time to accommodate a prime-time Australian television audience.
The only problem is Nine is already locked in to broadcast an NRLW double-header on September 16, week two of the NRL finals. New Zealand Warriors hope they are not forced to play at 9.50pm local time when hosting a final in week two or three.“I would have assumed the broadcast agreement that’s been in place for some time would acknowledge a New Zealand-based semi-final timeslot that’s appropriate for all parties to attend, or that’s a good viewing time in Australia.
There is a feeling the Warriors should be looked after when it comes to hosting a final at an appropriate time after they lived on the road for a couple of years to keep the competition going through COVID.
