Does anyone know if there are going to be any special deals for state of origin coverage? The premier sports one last year was a really good one.

Ive had stuff through the post saying that premier sports will again be showing state of origin. Im looking forward to the games quiet a bit this year.

New South Wales Blues team for State of Origin 2014 Game 1:
1. Jarryd Hayne, 2. Brett Morris, 3. Josh Morris, 4. Michael Jennings 5. Daniel Tupou, 6. Josh Reynolds, 7. Trent Hodkinson, 8. Aaron Woods, 9. Robbie Farah, 10. James Tamou, 11. Ryan Hoffman, 12. Beau Scott, 13. Paul Gallen, 14. Trent Merrin, 15. Anthony Watmough, 16. Luke Lewis, 17. Tony Williams

Queensland Maroons team for State of Origin 2014 Game 1:
1. Billy Slater, 2. Darius Boyd, 3. Greg Inglis, 4. Justin Hodges, 5. Brent Tate, 6. Johnathan Thurston, 7. Cooper Cronk, 8. Matt Scott, 9. Cameron Smith, 10. Nate Myles, 11. Chris McQueen, 12 Matt Gillett, 13 Corey Parker, 14. Daly Cherry-Evans, 15. Ben Te’o 16. Josh Papalii, 17. Aidan Guerra 18. Will Chambers, 19. Jake Friend

Those are the teams and im afraid I can only see another Queensland win unless the partnership of Reynolds and Hodkinson for NSW tears up trees.

Not sure if there are special deals on. I'm subscribed to Premier Sports, just £7.99 a month, and cancelled my Sky Sports subscription at the end of last season.

I get way more for my money. They show most NRL games, atleast 5 a week,sometimes all 8, plus the Footy Show, NRL Full Time, Origin, and any other rep games that are on (AusvNZ, CityCountry and FijiSamoa). Pretty sure they have the 4 Nations too.

Throw in the fact that you don't have to put up with the likes of Stevo & Clarky commentating (bickering), and the games are generally a higher standard, it's a no-brainer.

Will most people be watching SoO live at 11 am UK time, or will most people record it and watch it after work?

I ask this question so as to know whether to discuss it or not on here before the late evening UK time. I don't want to spoil it for others.

I for one will be watching it at 11am due to being off work (the joy of school holidays)
and very much looking forward to it !

I would avoid the forums/twitter until you have watched the match yourself to avoid disappointment

enjoy the match everyone!

Hi guys,

Just a quick one to let you know that the only 2 pubs in Manchester showing the S.O.O match tomorrow are the Tib St Tavern (Northern Quarter) and Mulligans (behind Kendals).

Game kicks off at 11am so grab yourself an early lunch and get down there and watch the game! If you're a slacker and you've got the day off doors open at 9,45 at Mulligans and 10.30 at the TST.

Enjoy!

Does anyone have a discount code for Premier. I've seen some people get the joining few waived on here previously.

I suspect a bit of both, so please (aimed at everyone), NO SPOILERS.

Wow. If you haven't watched it live, watch it soon. One of the best.

A class above really. No surprise we cant beat Australia when you watch a game like that.
