Mate, I could drink a bottle of metho or Bleach and still couldn't watch it.If I was offered 24 hours non stop sex with Amy Smart and Charlize Theron at the same time as long as I watched the whole game, I reckon I'd struggle.
I'd have to drink that bottle of metho, fair dinkum, the game is crap.
I've tried to watch it growing up in Aus, but it's e. |

I went with a mate of mine to a pub to watch the 2008 AFL Grand Final at 4am after a heavy night on the sauce. I was drunk when I got here, even more drunk by the time the game was over, didn't know who won it and what's worse I missed the NZ Warriors semi-final.
I got my own back. I invited him around to watch the 2008 RLWC final. I was resplendent in my Kiwi jersey. |

Sick in a urinal and then went and announced it to the landlord.
But I really think we should be getting back to the thread.
As a Warriors fan I really hope someone picks up the NRL soon. I enjoy Superleague but NRL is different class. |

spot on mate  - I usually Sky + most of the games and if I was to miss out on either SL or NRL it'd be SL every time - plus I need to have a fix of some decent RL being a Reds' fan !  |

Think it's a massive shame that we won't be getting it on any channel this year. Very surprised at least Sky hasn't picked it up considering some of the rubbish they fill time slots with throughout the week

i watched it on big pond tv live streaming on my tv through hdmi, was impressed with the quality for freebie, looked as good sd skysports, if not a tad better.
Was able to record both games at the same time with some software - PM me if interested - and with some reconversion can keep these in my collection.
One question I have... will there be any games streamed live on saturday? I know the highlights will be on there, but wondering about live games from channel 9?

All the round 1 games will be streamed live for free but from round2 you have to pay. Hopefully by round 2 Sky or ESPN will have sorted something out.
Tommorrow's games are Bulldogs-Knights 6.30am, Sharks-Storm 8.30am, Panthers-Raiders 8.30am.
Too early for me, i might get up at 9.30 and watch the second half  |

"I'm 49, I've had a brain haemorrhage and a triple bypass and I could still go out and play a reasonable game of rugby union. But I wouldn't last 30 seconds in rugby league." - Graham Lowe (1995):20201.jpg |

Streaming for me needed to buffer every 5 mins rendering it unwatchable, even after a reg fix and reducing graphics acceleration. The quality was ok, when it was playing, but when converted via HDMI to a good quality panny full HD tv it looked poor, well below Sky SD level. TBH live streaming isn't a way I would go. I'd be quite happy to pay ESPN, or anyone else to show it via satellite in SD or HD with a reliable feed, but live streaming is always going to be hit and miss. I'm amazed given the Aussie ex-pat community in the uk, and the huge RL fan base here that there hasn't been a deal done and I would urge anyone who is interested to spend 5 mins writing an email to the NRL. I can get countless sports I have no interest in, without the profile of RL and yet I can't get NRL matches - unbelievable. |

That might well mean a deal is in the pipeline if that's the case. |
