Cancelled ESPN to get Premier Sports, so actually saving £2 a month.

Also Baz, our batsmen will love the fast bouncy wickets in Oz, now you don't have McGrath or Warne (or any spinner of note for that matter) i can see a comfortable English victory. In fact, i don't even see Oz winning a test, 3-0 England.

You can still watch NRL games legally and for free via online betting sites so no I won't be subscribing.

Yea on a tiny screen on your computer. £7 a month isnt the end of the world considering how many of you will be a down a pub this weekend spending the same amount of money. Not many of you mind getting 3-4 pints for that money but for the same price you can get an entire month of rugby which is deemed far too expensive

Not for me. Although the pic has improved from early days, I'm not going to pay an extra £7 for something I only watch when I remember

I have paid for it.....As for anyone who says "there isn*t many games left",,well this is where the season starts for me....Love watching NRL anyway.When the Season down under finishes you give them 1 months notice then quit...Then most probably have it next season,if on the same arrangment.

True for Magners Barry. It's pear cider. You really weren't watching that ad carefully at all were you?

Another difference is that Gaymer's is English, Magner's is Irish. (That's the companies - not sure about their products).

The power of advertising was clearly lost on me.



I'm almost certain that advert was about apple cider though.


To be honest unless it comes in a brown 330ml stubbie with a screw cap and a big label saying 'VB' on the side of the bottle I wont drink it.

I rarely watch a game live. Record them and catch up during the week and its easy to avoid knowing the score. Not many people will be able to watch the Friday and Monday games or wake up at 5am on Sunday, or stay up after a night out





Exactly what i will be doing. This is the business end of the season and the intensity rises at the end of origin. Been some quality games recently with the prospect of many more to come.

4 live games a weekend, play offs looming, im in for the next 2 months, no brainer if your a league fan.

Then cancelled

Grand Final is on sky???

What he said .

as a side anyone know how long it takes to receive the pictures after you have subscribed ?

Can you cancel it when the NRL season finishes?

Yeah,,,You have to give them a months notice,,

I paid last night bout 8pm, put it on at 2am when i went to bed and it was there, paid over the net on their page

Just watched the eels game id sky +'ed

Can't speak for the aussie adds, but the Kiwis advertising is something akin to banging a nail into apeice of wood...repeatedly

Too easy - subscribed at about 8.15 this morning and was connected in time for the Manly v Storm match i.e within 15 mins!

The minimum 2 month subscription is ideal for the NRL season - note you need to give WRITTEN notice of cancellation between 10 days and one month of the start of the subscription, to cancel after the minimum term.

Paid on Thursday, still can't get a signal, even after ringing them - Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Watched the Manly v Storm match on Paddypower.

totally legally.


The thing I like about watching online is you get to hear things that you would never hear on MSK/Premier sports. As the first half ended and the screen went blank where the adverts would normally be on telly you could hear Gorden Tallis and the other guys back in the studio getting miked up and testing ready for their bit in the interval. Gordie was yakking on about betting on the gee gees and cracking on with the other blokes about various other stuff.

Quality.

Paddy Power doesnt convert well to my 42" LCD

I'm well up for paying 7 quid a month for the NRL, especially if we get 5 games a week... Great value

ESPN to be cancelled now to save some coin... Will have to get the subscription cancelled in the off season though, this written notice is a though

You get plenty of games on a weekend but just dont think i would watch half of them or get up.

Just coming back to an earlier post on this, is there any confirmation as to who has the rights to what with regards to the finals series and the GF. Have Sky just got the Final, or the playoffs too?

Just the Grand Final. Not 100% sure how long the broadcast rights are contracted for, but Sky get the ANZAC Test, all three State of Origin games and the NRL Grand Final each year.
