I've got Premier Sports, best decision I ever made. I get the NRL, Championship RL, the World Cup, football, NHL, GAA and others. I'm really looking forward to it because PS have pulled out the stops to make their presentation authentic and worthy. (Good luck doing that for the average RL that demands utter perfection 100% of the f*****g time).

So to all those who are complaining, tough s**t. If you don't have PS, tough s**t. Either subscribe to it, or quit whining.

THIS

IMG media that takes care of tv rights rather than the RFL.

I love premier sports, Getting the web player was the best thing I ever did. Not just for the live stuff but the catch up service aswell, Which is going to be a god send for the world cup.

We have sky downstairs but it's not my house and as we have a freeview virgin box in my room i've no chance of getting it on there, So got the web player and watch on my tv through a laptop.

In this day and age the amount of people who won't be able to watch a web player through some sort of device on their tv is probably not that large. When you consider you're only taking into account the amount of people who have virgin or BT tv to begin with.

Considering there is no lengthy contacts and for £10 for the month you can watch 25? rugby league world cup matches then I think it's brilliant value.


I said this when Premier first got the NRL and State of Origin, and I still believe now that they may very well end up with Super league one day.

I think some people are being very disrespectful to the fledgling Premier Sports. They were given the chance with the Championship, and what a good show they have made out of it. Plus they have made the contacts with the NRL, which comp, if not for Premier, it is highly unlikely we would be able to watch.

If Premier continue to work to the standards they have set then they can only grow, and more power to their elbow.

Seems the RFL had no choice, the world cup has to be on the BBC for the wider audience, sky didnt want to share so they had no choice.

anyone know how long the highlight shows are on for ? id guess 30mins on an evening?

as for premier sports, those that have it say do nothing but praise them so must be good, im signed up now for the world cup for £9.99 so cant complain

Who is moaning about Premier Sports and their quality? I can't see any threads about PS being of a poor standard, so i am not sure why you are getting your knickers in a twist.

RL Forums frequenter in [i"missing the point and getting a strop on"[/i shocker.

I subscribe to PS via their player and i have enjoyed the NRL action immensely, lets hope they get more advertisers during the WC as i get a little tired of seeing those stupid meerkats

You're complaining about Premier Sports. No-one has mentioned anything about the quality of it.



That's because there are no threads about PS being of a poor standard. I mentioned about how they are pulling out all the stops for their broadcasts, but it seems, not for the first time on this topic, you have looked at a post and taken the contents of it a different way.



Is this the reason why you "now remembered why i don't use this forum at all these days"? Because people disagree with what you post and point out any contradictions? Get a grip, man.
So after all the complaining about the WC being on PS, about how much of an idiot Nigel Wood is for allowing this to happen, you now state that you subscribe to them via their online player.

If you have Premier Sports, then why the **** are you complaining that the World Cup is on there?

But Premier Sports isn't in HD or 3D.

You must really hate the game if you believe the modern day fan of Super League will put up with standard definition.

Premier Sports can offer as many subscription discounts as they like but they'll not be of any interest to any modern day fan of Super League and Sky's sooper dooper coverage in HD and 3D. Not unless you are brearley84 who would sell his own grandmother for a 50% discount in transaction fees

You are so pre-Super League and dated beyond all modern recognition.

Where? Please read and find me a post where i complain about Premier Sports.

If you read correctly i have asked the question why were they chosen, which now i am aware. I also stated that it isn't great having it with a company that can't accommodate approx 4 million (according to WikiP) of VM customers. Maybe it is narrow minded of me to think it would be good for RL to try and pick up 1-2% of the VM customers. The decision to use PS was made a long time ago, I feel more should have been done to get this on as many platforms as possible, it's not like they've had a year or so to work on it?!?

Staying away from this forum is a good thing as it is full of many people like yourself that seem to spend an unhealthy amount of time talking rubbish on here, also use it as an ego boost of some kind, case in point you saying i was complaining about PS, when i wasn't, i was asking who made the decision.....and for the record Nigel Wood is an idiot for many bad decisions made in RL.

I have only had Premier Sports this season and have not had any problems with the quality of the transmissions. As an aside, if it was only transmitted in 3D I wouldn't want it at all.

You have vented your frustration about the World Cup being on Premier Sports. I've replied saying if you have PS, why are you complaining about the tournament being on the channel. At the beginning of the post, I did say that you were complaining about PS. Maybe I should have worded my first response to match my last response (advising you were complaining about the WC being on PS). But at the end of the day, you are obviously unhappy about the WC being on PS. My question is if you already subscribe to PS, then why?



So is this why you had your self imposed 13 month hiatus? Some people annoy the hell out of me on here, but I'm not going to refuse to come on here just because someone disagrees with my opinion. William did before, but it's okay, I know what his agenda is anyway.

Oh, and just to advise.......you need an ego to have an ego boost.
