| So I've just had an email saying my sky subscription is going to cost more from April - and frankly it was too much already.
What's the cheapest way to watch the games?
I don't watch other sports, and I only want to watch my own team so I'm open to a pay-per-view style thing. I must be able to watch it on a TV, not an app or a PC-based thing, and ideally I'd be able to watch it as some kind of catchup/recording if I can't watch live.

Now TV may be an option.
The day passes are expensive if you want to watch regular games but, the monthly pass is £33.99
A bit pricey but, cheaper than Sky sports and you would get access to all of their sports, not just RL
Also, it's really simple to subscribe and unsubscribe (which usually makes them come back with a cheaper 3 month offer - £25.00

| It's all relative - if for £30/mth you watch 2 NRL and 2 SL games each weekend, so 16 games a month, then less than £2 per game seems pretty reasonable.

I mean, I did say that I only watch my team, so one game per week. Are they definitely showing all games all season or when crowds are back on the terrace will it be potluck as to which 2/3 games are on TV each week? And I'm pretty sure you can't [ijust[/i get sky sports arena from sky, you also have to have a general sky TV subscription at about £20/month and then the HD addon at £5/month. It's more than I feel is fair to pay for watching maybe two hours per week.

| Depending who your team is they might have their own subscription service to watch reruns of the games they play, but unlikely to get any live games there, unless you subscribe through Sky or PPV on the Our League app. Otherwise I guess it's just whatever is on the SL Show.
e.g. Wires Watch uses Facebook Watch for £3.49 /mth and shows full game repeats on a Tuesday - but you'd need to cast them to watch on TV.

If you only want to see your club then, buy a season ticket.
You will get access to all of their home games and you will be supporting your club and whoever that club is, will be grateful of the contribution

There used to be a now monthly pass card for 25 too at argos. I would use 2 of those unsubscribe then take the 3 month offer rinse and repeat

Any chance of a link to that deal or was it due to unsubscribing at some point
