I'm happy with my subscription.[/quote]

I'm delighted with mine. It's called streaming sites. I don't pay Mcdermot's, O'Connor's Wellzzzzzz's wages anymore.

My wallet is about £90 per month heavier. Result.

I only pay a £5 per month for the device app. No point in full tv packages in our house. 24/7 Cbeebies, I lost control over the remote control years ago....all is not totally out of grasp though fellas....I'm still holding out with control over the thermostat, it's tough though.

So there's no preview....big deal. All I need to know is what the teams are. Plus there's no inane drivel from O'Connor Mcdermot and Wellzzzzzzz. Bonus. If you need the thoughts of these whoppers in your life, I fear for your sanity, or are you waiting to be offended that not enough praise has been lavished upon us? Remember some of the cry babies on here, whenever Phil Clarke comes on. "How dare he say anything derogatory about us? I'm writing to my MP in disgust"

So there's no post match interviews. Again, big deal. Winning coach "yeah, we did it tough, great effort, proud of the lads blah, blah blah". Losing coach "doing it tough, busted bodies, plenty of positives blah blah blah" and various other tosh clichés.

You don't need to see the tries again after the match, as you get at least 3 replays per try, whilst the game is on.

I gave up on Punditry (in most sport) years ago. I don't need the thoughts of Jon Wellzzzzzzz to make my mind up on what I've seen.

As long as the games get shown, I could give 2 poops.

I’m with you on this, I’d much rather just see the game and don’t need the platitudes and poor attempts at analysis that come before and after. And yes, pleased they have got NRL games

It's really case of whether you like to have a starter and a pudding or whether you go straight to the main course. Personally I like all three.

Absolute disgrace last night from Sky. They clearly don’t want us on.

When you go from what we had at one point:
Monday- x
Tuesday- x
Wednesday- Boots’N’All 1hr
Thursday- Super League Superstars 1hr + Championship game
Friday- SL game 19:30-22:30
Saturday- NRL game 09:00-11:00 + SL game 17:00-20:00
Sunday- All The Tries 1hr

To a change but you’d still think they cared:
M- x
T- Stevo’s 1hr char show
W- Boots’N’All 1hr
T- Super League Superstars 30m + SL game 19:30-22:30
F- SL game 19:30-22:30
S- Catalans h game every other week 16:55-19:00
S- All The Tries 30m

To now having:
M- All The Tries 30m
T- x
W- x
T- SL game 19:30-22:00
F- SL game 19:30-21:30
S- Catalans 16:55-19:00
S- x

We’ve gone from 13 hours a week; to 11 hours a week when Catalans were at home or 9 hours a week when they weren’t; to now looking like we have 7 hours a week [5 if Catalans are away] with no Boots’N’All (still have no idea how or why that was dropped, i rarely missed one) and no analysis of games.

Soon we’ll have no Tries show and no pre/post-match analysis and we’ll be on 6 hours a week, 4 if Catalans are away.

Then they’ll drop us.

It’ll be three NRL games on Sky a week and we’ll be on Premier Sports forever like the NHL is. You’ll be down the pub with some mates saying “I went to the rugby league last night” and they’ll be like “oh is that still going? Not seen that for years”

ho a bit further back, they also used to show academy matches as wrll

I wished they'd have done it last year. Sitting through reruns of defeat after defeat was painful.

You forgot to mention those golden grand finals sky kept running over and over.
Glad to see the back of them!

As someone who regularly asks if Sky is worth the money I personally feel I’m getting more of what I actually want to pay for this season
