Last season there were the odd Sundays live from the NRL on UK Setanta but as far as I can see this is not the case this year, does anyone know why at all?

i think some games are shown on friday afternoon

It's still the football season. Once that is over and done with I am sure we will see more games. The last two seasons they have tended to show 4 live games a weekend from mid to late May.

I presume they will continue to show the Friday night game, 1 ot 2 live on a Saturday and the Same on a Sunday. This is how it worked in the past.

I've e-mailed Setanta asking why the coverage has been cut from 2 games to 1 for the next few weeks,if i get a reply i'll post it on the forum.

I've just looked to see what games were on this week and noticed that theres only Eels V Raiders on saturday morning.
What's happened to the game on friday mornings? Well disappointed with that as theres not much worth watching on setanta anyway.

Good question. Seems 1 live game a week is the trend till the end of May!! Thought the upcoming IPL cricket may cause problems but thats not starting for a while yet.

Hope this is altered as watching the Friday game has been the only plus I have had since been made redundant.

apparentley setanta are trying to strike a deal with fox and channel 9 in oz, so maybe in 6 weeks time or so there will be more then 3 live games per week... fingers crossed eh.

On other forums Setanta are saying it's so they can have extra cover to the Magners League. I don't understand this as it isn't as if they clash. Not many Magners games are kicking off at 08:30/09:30 on a Fri/Sat or Sun. Very Odd. I suspect more to do with the £10 mill they have just had to stump up to the FA for the soccer, apparantly got behind in payments & missed a deadline, than anything to do with the Celtic Onion.

I also e-mail then more than 9 working days ago, got a msg back saying theu would reply within 5 working days.........am still waiting but suspect they will fail to reply.

Anyway I've droped them and now get my NRL games via the NRL internet thru Oz Sport. OK there is a delay but all NRL games are covered & at half the cost of the pathtic Paddy offering.

What I find equally annoying is that they are showing two+ AFL games weekly......clearly showind a typical 'paddy' attitude.

Would suggest we e-mail the NRL expressing regret that they gave the contract to Ireland. Perhaps they could offer it 'next season' to Eurosport or one of the main channels i.e. Five.

ozsports ??? link please

I'm greatly disappointed in Setanta's decision to drop a game from their coverage. I could understand to an extent if they were showing something on their channels, i.e. Magners League like the stated.

However, on Friday morning, while St George were busy beating Brisbane 25-12 at the Sun Corp, what were Setanta screening? From 8am-10am on BOTH Setanta 1 and 2... teleshopping.

TELESHOPPING!!!

A strongly worded email was sent, and as stated above, a "We will reply within 5 days" automatically generated email was received. I doubt I'll see a response, but in the meantime I'm now going to have to doubt the value for money Setanta offer, with NRL being the main reason for subscription for me.

Was a great game too - Broncos v Saints.

Check out the try by Morris off Lockyer's pass. That is footy.

Does OZsports show the full game? Further, do they show them all?
