bratman Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Wish they'd stop cutting away to adverts seconds after the final whistle. Just had an epic finish, Bulldogs holding out for a win with a last ditch tackle on the hooter, and straight to an ad break, grr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Mead Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Totally agree, proper annoying. Thing is Super League itself is just a filler for Sky. The NRL is even more of a filler, on a par with Lithuanian handball as much as we love it. Sad but true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RigbyLuger Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Hasn't this been covered before and Sky can only show whistle to whistle or something, or that they have to cut abruptly before Matty Johns comes on. We all have to option for full coverage if we want to pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS50 Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 If you see it to the final whistle you are doing well. Used to record it on Sky+, and nearly always cut off before final whistle. I did complain. I got a polite reply, but they made it obvious they were not going to change anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Aussies cut to adverts Sky can’t show that and if they cut to the Matty John’s show(who I think do the post March interviews) they can’t show that either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to add a few weeks ago Sky showed the first 20mins of the Matty John’s show and somebody probably got in a lot of trouble for it. Which is likely why they are so keen on it at the minute.

Markos Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 It’s funny though, because they can run fox sports adverts, just not 3rd party ads (I guess?) So today at half time, they ran a nice advert for the UFC event tonight which is through a fox affiliate in Oz, but is on BT sports over here Shame they can’t figure it out to keep the live feed on the players and even just do a voice over from a studio over here, but that’d be too much effort for sky when as others say, they probably aren’t all that concerned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hela Wigmen Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I wish they’d stop having Australian adverts on there. I don’t need adverts for 24 chicken nuggets for $10 at 8am, don’t they know it’s breakfast time here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Saint Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 After todays Cowboys\ Raiders game, Sky showed a lot of the after match interviews conducted by Ikin, Benji, and Ennis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John C H Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 I think myself and a mate paid £60 each for our 12 month watchnrl subscription. May as well go half’s as you are allowed to stream two devices at same time. In my opinion an absolute bargain for what you receive. Not only the matches but the entire fox sports rugby league offering (nrl360, Matty john’s show, the wrap etc.) plus loads of classic games and documentaries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 If they’re cutting off before the matty johns show I forgive them . I did enjoy watching Barrett’s interview at half time in the Raiders game though , that was great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Robertson Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 The pre and post shows, in Oz, sometimes contain swearing that some people (probably not the overwhelming proportion of viewers) will get upset about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 Buy ‘Watch NRL’ if you want the whole package, I haven’t got it as it doesn’t suit when I can watch but at circa £120 for the season it’s a bargain. If you pay for Sky Sports you’re basically paying 80%+ for premier league football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means that you can watch them as replays anytime you want! Didn't you know that? The only problem with watching matches as replays is that you don't get the pre-match, half-time, and post match interviews and analysis. But you can still get the best analysis of the NRL round in the "Big League Wrap" on a Sunday around lunchtime. I think that Ben Ikin is excellent, a very smart man, and Michael Ennis and Greg "Brandy" Alexander are very astute, as are Benji Marshall and James Graham. Also if you get watchnrl.com you can watch "nrl360" for an hour Monday to Wednesday, and that is a very well prepared and intelligent discussion, with several of the top Australian rugby league journalists participating. The interview show "Matty Johns Face to Face" on Wednesdays is a serious interview format, and often worth watching. But Thursday's "Late Night with Matty Johns" and "Sunday Night with Matty Johns" are definitely not worth watching except for the early match analyses,, because the humour of Nathan Hindmarsh and Bryan Fletcher, and other characters on those two shows, are aimed at the lowest common denominator of fan in Australia, not for the smart segment of the people on this forum.
