I have sent a strongly worded email threatening to cancel my subscription if the NRL games are not reinstated. I would like as many as possible to email them and complain, if enough do it could possibly sway things.
I nearly got setanta last week cos i wanted to watch NRL again as i love it. Glad my missus talked me out of it....

I weren't so lucky and will be monitoring the output pretty carefully as I only subscribed for the NRL coverage.

| Its a shame really, Ive had Setanta for the last two NRL season and the coverage has been far far better than when Sky had it, you also got the NRL on Fox shows and the footy show (which they still have!) still i suppose one game is better than none, whether it's worth the fee is debatable.

| Satanta gets alot of stick IMO, I can understand why your upset about less NRL games but I'm overall quite impressed with the channel and quite like the extra premiership game and odd England game

| I pay overt the odds for the full Sky+ package. For the limited tV I watch and the crap that's on its' simply not worth it.
If anything I would rather cut back on channels than pay for yet another like Sultana or whatever.
I've even resisted the temptation for Sky HD.
If t'wife and kids would let me I'd cancel the lot and just have freeview.

| My Sky subscription is the fourth biggest household expense after the mortgage, loan and council tax. And just for the RL.
Thank god I don't have any vices to pay for as well.

The skill with which the Cowboys threw away the game to the Bronchos was top bag. The way they were so composed in losing the ball every touch for the last 25 mins, it's something all SL teams should aspire to. God save the NRL

Of course, because monopolies are a good thing.
Want to watch something? Better hope that Rupert does as well.

| Hi I phoned Setanta myself yesterday and told them exactly the same as you. I was told if you want to cancel it is a minimun contract of 6 months and 30 days notice. I have e-mailed a complaint, but have not rec'd a reply as yet. Obviously rugby league supporters are getting shaffted yet again by the tv companies, as we did when Sky stopped showing N R L games because they got league one games free.

Don't you eat, buy clothes or ever go on holiday?
Mind it shows the value for money from the TV licence.

for the summer months if it's only 1 NRL game they can stick it!

Yes, rarely, permanently on one.
Fair point regarding food (and I'll add diesel) these being consumed within the monthly credit card somehow slipped my mind.
Sky + Setanta + TV licence = £105+ per month. That's crazy.
I should add that my Sky includes telephone line rental and broadband out here in the sticks.

I've emailed them as well.
At one point they used to shows two live games,one Fri am and one Sat am and then delayed feed/highlights from another game on the Sunday.
Have they said why they are cutting the footage? I've read somewhere on the forums that its because of Magners Irish RU but as thats not on at the time the NRL matches are/were shown then its not a sceduling issue so I presume as with most things its cash and cheaper for them to show Irish RU rather than keep up with their NRL footage?

| I'm not very chuffed either about the reduction of games although I do think the subscription is not too badly priced. I enjoy a lot of American sports which I get on ESPN America and if the NRL returned to Sky, I don't think it'll get better. I enjoy the Footy Show which you didn't get on Sky but I do think that when they lose one of the Premier League licences, we may just see a change of heart from Setanta. They could do with some decent presenters!!! They're more like Sky Sports News rejects!!!
