RL is an afterthought, I appreciate SKY have a diverse range of sports but even netball gets more advertising space than we do and I can't recall seeing packed out sports hall's holding ten's of tousands of supporters, not sure where you get the viewing figures from either so can't say if it is a big TV viewing draw, but I would guess it is less than RL.
Didn't RL used to have the second highest viewing audience behind Fooseball at one point?

| I thought C4 did a fairly decent job in all. The BBC are still beholden to the RFU though, & I'll lay odds the rah-rahs will be sending a deligation to dampen any enthusiasm.
Still, unless it's dumped on the red button or online can't be anything but welcome.
CC rd 1 on red button on Sat BTW, don't forget

| Quote ="MidlandsWarrior2"I just hope the bbc shake up their commentary team for SL games'" I think they broadly do a decent job with the CC stuff. They do need to mix it up though, I'll give you that. Can't keep trotting out the usual suspects like Jiffy, Kear, Nobby, JJB & Kevin Brown (not forgetting everyone's favourite media tart, coffee-shop-Wilkin).

| Interesting to see if there's an option to stream individual games. I have a Watch NRL subscription but don't have Sky Sports. Individual games (Wigan games I can't get to) would work for me

I have just cancelled my watch NRL, i noticed half way through last season that for a couple of years now they have been uploading the full games onto youtube a couple of days after they are live. I don't mind watching NRL games a couple of days later.

I think Watch NRL is great value. I don’t watch many live games on it as my lads play football Sat and Sun so I’m always watching them but most nights there’s something I’ll watch. Matty Johns Thursday and Sunday show, Face to Face on a Monday, Matty Johns show with Cronk on a Tuesday, The Fan on a Wed and then NRL 360 Sun- Tuesday.

I'm in the same boat, and agree.

Oh for sure, it is great value for money at approx £12 a month for all the content that you get, a rough list but i am sure i am missing things-
every game live (8 per round, not 6),
playback on all,
archived games,
All pre season games live,
NSW / QLD cup games live,
SOO live,
showcase games like indiginous / all stars live,
24/7 access to Fox League channel,
All their talkshows,
International games like the Pacific Cup.
They are stealing off people if they try to charge £20-30 for Super League+, no where near as much content from what they are saying.
A little tip for Watch NRL aswell, if you have a family member or mate you trust it is possible to share out the costs as you can watch in 2 different households simultaneously, or as of last season you still could. This makes it more like £6 a month for all that.

I did that initially. A mate of mine signed up for the year and gave me his log on details. I’ve just carried on buying since although I pay the yearly fee as it’s cheaper than paying monthly.
My only disappointment this year has been the lack of programmes in the off season. I think it was last season but Andrew Voss hosted a Classics show which was highlights of retro games from the 80s and 90s. That was brilliant and certainly helped to ease the non RL boredom but as far as I’m aware there’s been nothing this year.

I used to get the nrl on Premier sports, it can be hard trying to watch all the live games, it was good value. I signed up to nrl site and there have been lots of 80 90, 000 games on for free

| The standard price is far too expensive for what it is imo.
As a comparison I can get actual sky sports on Now TV for £35 and access to all the different things they do Footy, Darts, some RL etc.
An NFL pass only £14 and that includes the excellent red zone too.
The standard price should have been closer if not lower than the one offered to season ticket holders.

| It's going to be the pay per view option for me too. Just Wigan games I can't get to.
Any news of it can only be streamed in the UK?

| Won't let me quote for some reason, but the streaming service will be available internationally. Will actually be much better value outside of the UK, as they will get all games streamed live. In the UK we get the games that are not selected by Sky live, and the ones that are selected by Sky will be uploaded on a delay.
I was pretty optimistic when the service was announced. It was said it would be in line with Netflix, but it isn't and it's way too expensive. I'd be expecting it to enter at around £9.99 (they can always raise the price later if they think that is needed) and at that price I'd be 100% subscribing but £19.99 per month is just too much for what it is. Disappointing

| Realistically the PPV is the best option.
I've got a season ticket, so all the home games are covered. Outside of that you'd expect 5 or 6 of the away games (Saints, Leeds, Wire, Cats as a min) will be on sky anyway. The PPV gives that ease of not having to travel for the few that aren't being shown.
Outside of that, i have zero interest in anything else on that platform.

I found some of the wording from Rhodri Jones interesting. He seemed to be avoiding stating that all games are available on demand, only mentioning an on demand feature when specifically speaking about the live Sky games that are added later (48hrs from the journo's tweets a couple of days ago).
So i had a nosey on the website, and unless it is very badly worded it seems that you can only stream games on demand from the current season if you pay from an annual pass. if you choose to pay monthly (as i would expect most to) it appears you would only be able to watch games live, thus making it impossible to consume all the content and making the price point even worse.
Bit of a baffling decision if you ask me, i would have thought Super League would want most people paying monthly as they would earn more money that way. Even if a monthly subscriber pays for just the months in season, they would be handing over £180 as opposed to £130 (£100 for season ticket holders). Surely keeping these people happy should be important, not gatekeeping content from them.

| All the games are on Wigan t.v. anyway usually within 48 hours of the game finishing. I wonder if that will continue?

Quote Sky Sports and NOW is the only place to watch every game live all season. All six matches in each Super League round will be shown live, totalling around 170 games each year across Sky and NOW platforms. This will include Magic Weekend fixtures, Playoffs and all three Grand Finals - Men's, Women's and Wheelchair.
Continued innovation will also be seen on screen, as renewed investment means that video referees will now feature in all Super League matches, bringing increased consistency and integrity to the sport.
In addition to live matches, Super League fans can tune in to Sky Sports for a range of support programming, including interviews and features whilst being able to stay across all the latest rugby league news on Sky Sports' social media channels, skysports.com, the Sky Sports App and Sky Sports News. For non-Sky subscribers, fans can still stream every Betfred Super League live match with a NOW Sports Month membership.'"
