Is the on-line streaming option free for those who have subscribed for the TV channel ?.

This is bad news for fans of free stuff then.'"

not good at all for anyone not on sky.
£10 a month or whatever premier sports costs for streams that are no better than what the bookies did for free is a joke

Quote: nkpom "Premier Sports last season averaged 5 NRL games per weekend. When Sky had the rights they probably at best showed a couple very late at night.
I subscribe to Premier to watch NRL and I resented the fact that Sky had cherry-picked Origin and the Grand Final.
I'm extremely pleased that Premier will show all Aussie games this year. Along with their excellent Championship coverage its the only channel a Super League supporter needs. After all I see the real thing every couple of weeks (well London anyway!)'"


When Sky had rights they showed a Live Match at 10:30am on a Saturday (which is the lowest quality match slot of the NRL weekend) and another delayed on a Sunday. It wasn't great. I too resented Sky cherry picking the marquee matches. Whilst no HD is a negative, I'd rather see Channel 9's broadcast than Shaun McCrae and Jon Wells!!! Plus the length of this deal might just give Premier the impetus to launch HD. The fact this is for 5 years and they have NHL for 4 years gives them all year round content for those two sports at least.

That's what I read.

Premier don't often have a huge prematch programme or even a half time show, just lots of adverts for their own broadcasts or Aussie newspapers and the like. I'm not sure they will change from that, although a full channel 9 build up and programme would be nice.

This season they also have a lot of advert adverts too, and not just for rugby league products either. They appear to have hit on a formula that advertisers like as in spite of their programmes being advertised nowhere other than on the Sky programme timetable, they have been able to secure advertising packages.

I'd recommend their Championship coverage. While they don't have as many camera angles as Sky, they still do a great job and manage to really communicate the feel of the traditional rugby league matches which are the Championship games. Their commentary is excellent though and they manage to be witty without detracting from the match at all.

Whether online or on TV, £9.99 a month plus £2.50 per box for multiroom is a great deal if you love your rugby league.

I thought the Batley /Halifax game was a great advert for the game . The try at the end wouldn't have looked out of place in the NRL , Great effort.

I love the championship coverage.

The commentator's don't seem to dwell on ref's decisions as much as the sky team do, and they concentrate on just commentating on the game rather than talking gibberish and arguing amongst themselves.

Does anyone know btw if the streaming service will be streaming the games live or just showing them on demand?

I have sky but it's rare that I'm allowed control of the remote, so I'd need to just buy it myself online.


I wonder if they are trying to build up enough to maybe even go for superleague eventually? The way thing's are with sky/ Eddie and Stevo at the moment. If they where to offer a good enough deal I wouldn't complain.

i know what you mean. Come June when my minimum term expires with Sky I'm cancelling it, mainly due to the fact that I only got Sky and prior to that Virgin for rugby league. Now the presenters just spoil the match for me to the extent 12 months ago I would watch both matches, the full time programme, back chat, boots'n'all, superman. Now if I watch the equivilant of a half of a match over the weekend and even the back chat programme has turned into a farce. Now I'm thinking why should I waste my money when you take out rugby league we as a family can watch the other channels for free on digital TV.

Also to carry on watching PS do you need a Sky subscription or just a Sky box?

From what I read i nreply to comment on Facebook about it is they will stream some games live and have a 7 day catch up for all games. Perfect for me that is. As I like my late lie in on a Saturday

According to Premier Sports website, no Sky subscription needed, just a box and dish

If you don’t have a sky subscription or are about to cancel it you will have to contact P.S to get one of their viewing cards, not sure if they “fit” in other providers boxes though?

Quote: hindyscrack "While this is great news for NRL fans in the UK. I can't help think that moving the Grandfinal and Origins is a backward step for sheer numbers for the Marquee games.

One bonus is we wont have SKY's irritating talking heads ruining 9's excellent build up to the marquee matches. Might be time to re-subscribe'"

You won't find many Aussies describe 9 as excellent! icon_lol.gif

Quote: Ganson's Optician "You won't find many Aussies describe 9 as excellent!
I'm an ex-pat Aussie and while I agree with the treatment of the game in general by 9 as pretty darn ordinary, this does not detract that their build up and pre-match analysis for the marquee games is usually first class.

On SKY we got Bomber and Wells in a studio chatting to each other while any pre-game hype was lost on the viewer.
