You are forgetting that the NRL are launching there own streaming service. They wouldn't allow any broadcaster to show 8 games per week as they need to drive subscriptions for there own service.

I've gotten used to watching all eight weekly NRL matches over the years but £125 to watch it on my pc no thanks, and the monthly pass £22 and weekly £13 are ridiculous. I'll just have to get used too a couple of games a week.

I can't see the take up being high when you combine the pricing structure and the fact Sky have live matches. I wouldn't be surprised to see these prices revised when they discover the lack of demand.

Not sure why people are moaning?

£22 per month is a bit steep, but the annual pass is only 41p more than Premier was if you split it.

Quite happy with that.

Plus buy a chromecasf if you want to watch on the tv. Brilliant little device.

I am happy with 2or3 matches from oz ever week and it only cost me £18 a month to watch rugby league on sky

Because it's an online service,charging subscriptions that are above conventional methods. Your internet dictates if you see the games or not. Unlike the push of a button on your remote.

Has anyone who paid for the watch NRL app last year had to renew it?

I haven’t had any emails, and was able to watch this mornings game fine, but it’s over 12 months since I paid, so wasn’t expecting to be able to.
