The PS website says "GAA programming available to UK subscribers only." However, it does add that it is not available via Premier Player. Ah, wounder. I'm cheap and have only subscribed to the Player version. Despite not being irish at all I like a bit of hurling. And I don't mean what happens round the bins outside wetherspoons.

If you can't/don't want to pay for it thats absolutely fine, just say that. Nope, Premier Player isn't available as an app on Apple TV etc, so I can't watch it fannying around with casting or a laptop like I did five years ago or whatever. As you say, technology has moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 10000 or so Champ fans will get rid of Sky sports and save a few bob watching a comp they are in.That number will bring no cash to the table and bring closure to any future deals, whilst Sky renegotiate on lost subs and reduced viewers. So championship fans should pay for Sky not to watch their team but to make sure the next TV deal puts money into SL?? Take it your a SL fan....

You don't need to cast from your iPad or phone - search 'Watch NRL' in the google app store. @GavWilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 A strong line up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jughead Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Brown and Cunningham have always been good on Sky and Pryce has been a nice addition to Sky, too. I’ve always liked Henderson, he did some Challenge Cup games on BBC for a while and his genuine excitement at watching a game of Rugby League live was infectious. Looks a good panel. Mark Wilson’s a bit moany on the Forty20 podcast but I don’t know if that’s just that environment or whether he’s actually like that permanently.

Mark Wilson is an excellent choice as presenter, he will be good for any newcomers as he just talks the game and gives some understanding of the rules, rather than use cliche`s like the sky lot do.

Its literally the easiest thing to do, all of our tvs have a chromecast plugged into them so any app that i cannot download onto the tv is played from our phones/tablets.. no fannying about at all, in fact sometimes its faster than accessing the app on the tv!

IMHO If you want to watch it you will, if you dont want to then fine but dont make some dumb excuse.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudger06 Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Good news. Just checked out the last 5 Union posts, United Rugby Championship etc, far less interaction than the Last 5 Championship RL posts..... Highlight clip of the famous Sharks & Lions only got 700 views and 1 like and its been up a week for just one of many examples. I think the Championship as surpassed the rugga championship and will soon leave the United rugga behind as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is confirmed as the true average by Barb, it is an excellent figure and smashes most shows out of the park, probably only Scottish FA Cup will beat that. If it is an overnight figure though it is likely to be lower on Barb. From memory last time these games were on Premier we got around 8k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously first game will be high for various reasons but the scale of it on, lets face it, a niche channel is impressive. I was born to run a club like this. Number 1, I do not spook easily, and those who think I do, are wasting their time, with their surprise attacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
