From what I can gather they got back to 2 games on 29th May, although on 8th May they have the Anzac Test Live.

Incidentally this Saturday Mornings Live game is at 9:30am instead of 8:30.

I know they did here but Australia change the opposite way this week. Complicated but in the winter the difference is +11 and in the summer its +9. For this week only it's +10 which doesn't allow for the usual 8:30am kick off. I have reasons for knowing these things!

yeh that makes sense nsw and melbourne are in the same timezone though so 9.30 this week is due to our +1 hour time change

here is my reply from Shetanta.

Thank you for your e-mail.

Unfortunately due to unforseen scheduling issues, we have had to reduce the amount of NRL games shown until May.
We are trying our best to increase the amount of games shown as soon as possible.

If you require further assistance please contact our Customer Services on 08712 00 33 22 one of my colleagues will be happy to help. We are open 7 days a week from 8am to 9pm.

So different stories are going round, i wonder how many different versions we will get...

All well & good, but IIRC didn't they reduce the number of games last year during the 6 weeks that the Indian Prem League cricket was on? Don't know when that is cos I've about as much interest in cricket as I have in the magners league, but I'll bet we're down to 1 game a week again when that starts.

Amazing that, despite there being 200+ channels, it's still RL which suffers, just like on BBC in the 80's
