Ask an Expert
But will the State of Origin game in Melbourne, be broadcast ‘live’ and ‘Free to Air’ anywhere other than in NSW and QLD?
Typically, Victoria doesn’t get any live NRL by channel Nine.
Like previous years, there is no point moving game 1 to the MCG and then not broadcasting live to that state.
