i watched it on big pond tv live streaming on my tv through hdmi, was impressed with the quality for freebie, looked as good sd skysports, if not a tad better.

Was able to record both games at the same time with some software - PM me if interested - and with some reconversion can keep these in my collection.

One question I have... will there be any games streamed live on saturday? I know the highlights will be on there, but wondering about live games from channel 9?

All the round 1 games will be streamed live for free but from round2 you have to pay. Hopefully by round 2 Sky or ESPN will have sorted something out.
Tommorrow's games are Bulldogs-Knights 6.30am, Sharks-Storm 8.30am, Panthers-Raiders 8.30am.
Too early for me, i might get up at 9.30 and watch the second half

Streaming for me needed to buffer every 5 mins rendering it unwatchable, even after a reg fix and reducing graphics acceleration. The quality was ok, when it was playing, but when converted via HDMI to a good quality panny full HD tv it looked poor, well below Sky SD level. TBH live streaming isn't a way I would go. I'd be quite happy to pay ESPN, or anyone else to show it via satellite in SD or HD with a reliable feed, but live streaming is always going to be hit and miss. I'm amazed given the Aussie ex-pat community in the uk, and the huge RL fan base here that there hasn't been a deal done and I would urge anyone who is interested to spend 5 mins writing an email to the NRL. I can get countless sports I have no interest in, without the profile of RL and yet I can't get NRL matches - unbelievable.

Disappointing news

That might well mean a deal is in the pipeline if that's the case.

I hope so


The one good thing about streaming is that they show every game, i was still up at 3am last night so i watched the first half of the Titans-Warriors game. Titans were shocking, hardly completed a set and still went in only 6 points down at HT. Warriors were just playing basic stuff but they were completing their sets, Seymour was very good with his kicking game, wasn't too impressed with Maloney. They should of had the game won by HT and they lost, Warriors will struggle again IMO.

Oi. Bugger off he's a mate of mine.

Great shot he put on Scott Prince early on. Rattled him big time. And his chip over for their first try?

Agreed. I was shocked to see the final score. Warriors did well in the first, they made plenty of meters forward, and Seymour was kicking well. Though Sam Rapira had a good game. Made plenty of carries.

Scotty Prince got hammered, i thought it was a fore-arm on his chin but you couldn't quite see.
I've only seen him for 40 minutes so i cant just him on that but to say the Warriors forwards were making plenty of metres and had most of the possession in that first half they should of been out of sight.
Did you see Jo Tomane, the guy looks massive compared to last year when he was at the Storm. I couldn't believe it was him when i heard the commentators say his name, he was a skinny thing last year now he's a meat-head.
