The arch rivals will clash at Laurie Daley Oval on July 11, as part of the measures brought in when Junee withdrew their first grade side.
So far a live stream has been in place for three games at the venue between clubs who would have had the bye otherwise.
There was a $5 surcharge for the first two games, when Tumut tackled Albury on May 16 and the Young-Kangaroos clash three weeks later, however Sunday's game between Southcity and Temora was broadcast free of charge.
While the weather and new COVID restrictions played a role, there was significantly higher traffic on the free version.
Group Nine chairman Andrew Hinchcliffe revealed there was more than five times the viewership on Sunday.
"We're exploring options around the stream and whether it is best to make it free to give people access to the football or whether we need to put a price on it to protect the gates and the clubs," Hinchcliffe said.
"It is something we are going to explore this week to establish a consistent process going forward."
Having a fee on the stream was also an endeavour to cover production costs.
The first two takings didn't cover the outlay.
In a quirk of the draw the Tigers, who have the bye this weekend, will play the Blues in conseuctive games.
The premiers will be looking to overturn the 20-10 loss from Saturday as well as a 30-12 defeat to start the season.
First Tumut will tackle the only team to get the better of them so far, Kangaroos at Twickenham on Saturday.
Hinchcliffe does not believe round 12 is in doubt as the COVID situation currently stands.
"At this stage we will continue on until anything changes," he said.
"From the information provided by the government it is pretty clear on what we need to do."
After COVID restrictions came into affect on Saturday night, half the round was played under new conditions.
The biggest change is spectators are now required to wear face masks.
