It is pretty damn good compared to last year, and better than theyear before that too. Only 2007 had more games on Fox from memory, and given there are less games this year, having approx 45-46 of 112 regular season games and then all playoffs is pretty good.
I wonder if there is still the possibility of extra games if clubs pay for the broadcast? That would be a nice sweetener
Will be closer to 50 regular season games I believe. 20 week season, with TV for, give or take, 14 NZ Thurs home games, 18 Weds games and Saturdays most weeks. On top of that there will be all playoff games (between 6-9).
Means each team will be on an average of approx 13 times, but of course some will be less and some more.
