| I hope Sky or ESPN see sense and buy the rights.
When you see some of the crap they put on you would think they would be falling over themselves to show the best rugby competition in either code.
Then there's State of Origin, i would be gutted to miss that
Least in the 80's when i started watching Aussie r.l i could watch tapes from the video shop from Micron video.
Not a happy chap

If all else fails ie nobody gets the rights, the official NRL web site will be streaming the games on the internet.

| Maybe if you could find some nice English person living in Oz who could record all the games to DVD and then post them over, it'd be nice wouldn't it.

| Apparently the NRL are still in negotiation 'with a number of parties' for the broadcast rights in the UK and US. Details to be announced 'in the week before the season starts'. I imagine ESPN will want to pick up SOO and the finals. Other than that it will be pay per view via the NRL website, which is pretty awful, even with a fast connection and a decent monitor.

| It's looking doubtful. Had a check of the schedules for week commencing 15 March and there's nothing for 20 or 21 March.
I imagine that they're going to save their money for World Cup tiddlywinks this year. In return, I'll probably save my money by not watching some of the tripe they shovel up. (Why the hell would I want to watch UFC!!!!)

Firstly UFC is pretty cool
Secondly you checked the wrong schedule, season starts 12th March (although I checked the correct week and there is still nothing there)
Still holding out for sky as I don't want to pay another 9 quid p/m on top of the 58 I already pay

| Sorry Pokerface,
Should have explained also checked this weekend too, so that's two weekends without NRL on ESPN.
Rather not have it on Sky. ESPN's coverage was far better as it showed the whole of the Australian telecast rather than inserting stuff from Sky.
Chris Warren was a great presenter on Sky, but I'd rather have the build up from the Australian side.
As for UFC, sorry mate - not convinced.

| I've emailed the NRL to try and find out what the situation is with regards to broadcasting rights in the UK.
When (if) I get a reply I'll let you know what they say.

I went with a mate of mine to a pub to watch the 2008 AFL Grand Final at 4am after a heavy night on the sauce. I was drunk when I got here, even more drunk by the time the game was over, didn't know who won it and what's worse I missed the NZ Warriors semi-final.
I got my own back. I invited him around to watch the 2008 RLWC final. I was resplendent in my Kiwi jersey.

Sick in a urinal and then went and announced it to the landlord.
But I really think we should be getting back to the thread.
As a Warriors fan I really hope someone picks up the NRL soon. I enjoy Superleague but NRL is different class.

spot on mate - I usually Sky + most of the games and if I was to miss out on either SL or NRL it'd be SL every time - plus I need to have a fix of some decent RL being a Reds' fan !

| Think it's a massive shame that we won't be getting it on any channel this year. Very surprised at least Sky hasn't picked it up considering some of the rubbish they fill time slots with throughout the week
