I see, but that has no baring on whether BSkyB have the rights then. They may have the same parent, but they are a different company entirely.

You' would think the RFL would as well but..........................

Setanta Ireland will probably be removed from the epg in the next few weeks.

They have stated they will no longer be broadcasting to the uK (excluding N.I.)

The company is in administration it is the administrators job to get any monies owed in and distribute them to creditors - if the NRL owes Setanta a few hundred thousand you can bet the administrators will be after it

That I doubt.

If you buy a product, pay for it but never use it then that's your look out.

If that ever changes, then the whole system is gone ( mind you some say it already has!)

As Setanta went bust because of its inability to pay for the rights it had acquired, particularly the instalments for SPL and Premier League – what are the odds that they are owed money by the NRL, rather than the other way round?

seems like footy show has disappeared off the setanta ireland radar by my scheduling

is setanta ireland on virgin anywhere? cant find the mofo

Any chance of =red no there isn't. PM are as much part of this site and covered by the AUP as any other post. tb

Yes it has gone from the Sky EPG, my hubby was just going to set the recorder.

Sorry didnt realise, no probs

Yep, mine too. The barstewards.

micheal crocker on the show as well, was looking forward to that.

He'll most probably drop the microphone!!

Basically said he was glad he didnt join hull

They have. They wouldn't get the programme sent over just for the Irish because they don't show NRL matches on Setanta Ireland anyway. They've only ever shown the origin games Live on that.

I think Sky will pick up the rights cheap. I don't think ESPN would go for them.

I've sent an email to sky's programme department to see if they have anything to say regarding NRL.

Can't see Sky showing The Footy Show, if they get the NRL back.

Crocker said he was walking around Sydney the other morning and it was 5 degrees. He said he was glad he didnt end up in England because thats a good day in summer for you lot!

Setanta Ireland is still broadcasting, its just not on the Sky EPG, you might be able to add it as an additional channel and view it as long as your card entitlements haven't expired

You might need the following info , don't have a Sky Box so cant try it

11585 H 27500 2/3

That slight chance being 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000001%

There is no chance at all the NRL would owe Setanta anything.

A very pleasant 27 here at the moment.

Don't let the facts get in the way of your little ranting though.

espn built its empire in the north america on neiche sports. but i think it would like to be more established here before it took on something like rgby league, as it would be a big unknown for them and therefore viewed as a huge risk. The good thing about about espn taking RL rights is that they take whatever sport they show very seriously and will pay big bucks for the privilege.

Dont whinge at me you soap dodger. Its was Crocker that said it.

Tigers v Dragons and Bulldogs v Cowboys are on bigpond.
