THE North Queensland Cowboys are incensed by Channel Nine's "mind-boggling" decision to snub the region's NRL fans.
The code's free-to-air broadcaster has revealed it will delay broadcasting the Cowboys' crucial clash with the South Sydney Rabbitohs on Friday night in favour of showing the Melbourne-St George Illawarra clash live in Queensland and New South Wales.It is a slap in the face for the North's rugby league-loving public.
It also flies in the face of an unofficial mandate that any Friday night game involving a Queensland-based team be broadcast first in this state, which, up until this week and round 24, has been the case.
However, the Cowboys haven't taken the news lying down. They have begun working with Channel Nine's regional affiliate WIN in an effort to at least have the game shown first in North Queensland.
According to Cowboys CEO Peter Jourdain, WIN had not even been told of the decision yesterday.
"They had not been informed by Channel Nine as of Friday night ... but we had already discussed with (WIN station manager Marco Della Valle) that even if they make that decision that his programming people are going to do their best to get our game live into North Queensland on WIN," he said.
"No matter what order Channel Nine decide to put on the games, they will try and get our game live into North Queensland."
Asked if the decision was a slap in the face to North Queenslanders, Jourdain said: "I believe so, I think it is".
There is little question the move by Nine is unusual, at the very least.
The game can secure the Cowboys a top-four berth, while the Rabbitohs arguably rank with the Melbourne Storm as the NRL's form team as they charge for a top-eight finish after a blistering past three weeks.
St George Illawarra, meanwhile, are riding a four-game losing streak and have won just two of their past 10 matches.
"If you watched the Dragons (yesterday), Melbourne could beat the Dragons 50-nil down there," Jourdain said.
"Surely our game is more attractive now."
Making the decision more puzzling, North Queensland are one of the strongest-rating teams in 2011 and have been involved in four of the top-10 rating NRL games on Fox Sports and clearly hold the top spot.
Their clash against Parramatta in round four was the fourth most-watched sports event in Fox Sports history.

838K for the game from Melbourne ( smashing the AFL all over the park )
