Gates will open on the day at 12:40pm local time for a 3:00pm kick-off in the NRL, but with Channel 9’s telecast not starting until 4:00pm local time, fans wanting to watch the match on TV and not know scores are in a tough position.
The Club understands this and, as such, are making their social media plans for the day known in order to ensure fans are aware of when news is available.
