But game times do change for daylight savings. Which is a total PITA on Friday nights.

Ive always found the 6:30pm Friday kick off's better than 7:30pm. Gives you an hour or so to get from Work to the game.

Much better for people from the country who have to drive home after the game as well.
We come up from the Goldie.

Depending on if you're a city worker or not.....

But how though...?

I know that, but the game times change as they are broadcast for day light saving time markets so the first few games are usually at 635 QLD time and then 735 once DST ends.
The Tahs game is in between

Oh I don't agree - that's pretty much the reason why the vote here lost though....
(Probably says something about putting a vote on a perfectly reasonable change to the people....)

It's not even close to "pretty much the reason" but I won't go into the semantics of it all. But being an outside worker I'm bloody glad we don't go in for the clock fiddling business.

Every single year during daylight savings living in QLD having to explain to our friends in the other eastern states that we are on AEST not them. Conversation always ends up with you know what I mean 'NSW' or 'Sydney' time.

In what way? as a city work I much prefer 6:30 over 7:00.
unless of course you have a job which keeps you there till 6pm on a Friday night, then there’s bigger issues at hand

Because it's easier for a city worker to get to a 6:30 game.
All us plebs who work in all corners of greater Brisbane and beyond, have to return home to get ready then go through public transport at peak hours on a Friday afternoon rush. It's hell.
Then try and throw some kids into the mix. Bah, easier to watch on the tv.

Possibly, it was announced for 22/23 at the time:
They did end up sponsoring the QRL from community all the way to state of origin late last year so it wouldn't be a huge surprise if they didn't continue.

Doesn't look that good
Edit: meant to chuck this into the jersey's thread, but I guess here will do. Technically it's not a jersey anyway...
