NRL 2010 Season

old gregg

enough of this northern hemisphere League chitter chatter, it's Footy time

Being an Eastern Suburbs boy I'd love to see the chooks turn things around this year but feel a full culture change within the club may be too much in the short term.

Other than that, it's go Parra as usual in my house.

I'm guessing it will be audio only for most games unless I find feeds up on justin.tv

Cannot believe there's no way to see NRL on TV in the UK this year. Really wish someone would pick up a game or two.

old gregg

yea it's pretty shocking for sure.

Still we still have 'the wireless'
I know that there's a few official net stations broadcasting audio via the nrl web site but we've always enjoyed the local Sydney streamed service from http://2gb.com/ . Quite often I'd email in just before a game to say hello and they get a huge kick out of announcing on air that 'Mick & Christine from Waterford in Ireland' are listing to the footy live all the ways from the other end of the world . The comentary is priceless, a bunch of guys who love their footy getting carried away. Brings tears to the eyes it does

Edit: just noticed the 2GB direct Rugby League service: http://www.rugbyleaguelive.com

I reckon it will get picked up by a broadcaster here, if not by the start of the season (obviously they best get a move on for that!!), early on into the season.

Sky always snap up a bargain. Either that or maybe ESPN or ITV4 will come to the rescue?

And do the Warriors have a prayer this year? Tipped to finish last or second last (cronulla are supposed to be as bad) anywhere I have looked.


Now, I am off to beat myself with some kind of stick as I must be some kind of masochist.

amacachi

I'd fancy ESPN to pick it up at some point.
As I've said before though, I'll never understand why Sky haven't the rights, it would fill up the schedule nicely over the weekends and Murdoch has a say in both of them, I'd've thought he'd want maximum exposure.

Bunnies hammered....well done the chooks. Good start Gregg.

I know a lot of us can't watch NRL over here so this is the next best thing.

This guy so far has uploaded highlights of some of Round1 and Round2 matches. Enjoy what's there.

Manly vs W.Tigers is a absolute cracker make sure to watch the highlights!

Bet365 are showing live games for free on their website. Quality is grand.

old gregg

golly the Bunnies sure grabbed defeat from the hands of victory today. Rusty must be sick

Two nice games lined up for Sunday I reckon.

Thanks for that. Yer man seems to be uploading new videos every week.

MSK (sky 433) is showing live NRL at the weekends. On Friday morning I watched Wests v the Doggies. I think they may have taken over Setanta's deal. It's on my sports package so it's no extra expense (for now)

No channel 433 here.

Its free for first 2 months, then supposedly a sub will be required which may cause problem for Irish viewers. If it goes to subscription, it will have to feature on the EPG, and its a bit of a worry that it sat on the EPG quite happily for a couple of months (with nothing much on it), and has now disappeared.

Their main trade looks like offering GAA to UK market so not sure whether they would bother putting it back on Irish EPG when all their GAA content will be blocked/not available here.

Still, will make the most of it while its here just in case!!

There was 2 live games this morning on Setanta sports 1 (channel 424) and also showing Wests Tigers V Roosters early tomorrow morning (5am).
Havent noticed any games before on before this weekend but would not be really looking for them (not a massive fan of the NRL). They did show games last year too, but hopes this helps.

old gregg

just finished watching the pitiful display by the Roosters
... but it raised a question for me ... early on in the game there was a kick off and the ball came very close to going over the crossbar .... what would have been the situation if it had? In other words, can you score a goal from the kick off? My guess is no but I'd never thought about it before.

In RU at least I'm 99% sure it's play on, so I'd assume the same in RL.

Don't know about the UK, but in Ireland at least if you tune in MSK manually on Sky (a quick Google will give the settings) they've been showing NRL replays the last while, not sure what live matches they have though.

old gregg

Setanta Ireland are showing replays for the last few weeks. They had the Cowbaoys game on just after it finished today. OK for us folks without Sky or Setanta Sports.

I see that the NRL channels on Justin tv are being shut down pretty quickly. Yesterday's Manly game didn't get to full time so it was back to 2GB radio ... like in the olden days.

MSK have 5 live matches this weekend starting with Bronco's v Panthers at 10 on Friday morning.

The bro has MSK tuned in manually on his sky box at home but the last couple of days it is coming up with the message "there is a technical fault with this channel" which is strange seeing as its working perfectly for me on my free to air box. Just wondering if anyone else has the same problem??

Tell him to tune it in again with the channel called "51113". It's working fine for me at least.

Sounds strange.

The only thing i can think of is that when you searched for the channel you pressed select to add the channel. This will not do it , you need to press the yellow button to add the channel.

old gregg

so, thrilled to see the Chooks back up at the sharp end of the table and hoping for a result against Parra. Mixed feelings on this one tbh 'cos Parra are a 2nd fave of mine.











there you go dooferoaks, tumble weed free zone here

Should be a good game as both teams on good runs at the moment. If i had to call it Id say Eels to shave it though, but very hard to call. Hopeful of a Tigers win against the Sharks, both games on the box aswell, last weekend before MSK goes ppv on aug 4th

toomevara

MSK/Premier sports going subscription here in the UK, get your NRL now while you still can....!

old gregg

thrilled that Santana Ireland are showing games on the regular free service. It was a bummer chasing games around on justin and iraqgoals.

old gregg

Well, we've some super games in store this weekend and Setanta Ireland have most of the top ones live.

Panthers v Rabbitohs in 30 mins, the weekend starts early and keeps on going till after the Roosters v Titans on Monday. I can't believe it's not butter

'Tis well for some!! Enjoy....

amacachi

PaddyPower seem to be streaming some matches, just watching Rabbitohs and Parramatta now, fairly important for both teams. :pac:

old gregg

crikey, did anyone else see that Roosters v Tigers game that just finished?

I can honestly say that I spent the last 20 mins on my feet and have not stopped shaking yet. Amazing! Go Roosters!!!!!!!!!!!

amacachi

Goddamn it, slept in, sounds like a good one. Just watching Penrith and Canberra, Canberra should have it under control.

old gregg

well, if you can download or catch a replay then go for it cos it's one of the best games I've ever seen. Edge of the seat stuff.

Canberra wraped up Penrith for sure, nice game

old gregg

Tigers almost found themselves in another week of golden point there.

Crikey I'm nervous about tomorrow but Go Roosters anyway!!!!!

amacachi

I don't follow the NRL closely enough so I have to ask WTF has happened to Manly in the last few years?

I fancy Wests to go all the way if they can keep up their best for the next two weeks.

old gregg

Roosters through to the final! Can this day get any better?

Would've been better if Paddy Power had shown it like they were meant to and I could've seen it. :pac: Wonder if Wests can keep up the pace tomorrow, they must be shattered at this point.

old gregg

so, do any of the brethren have a prediction on the final? Roosters or Dragons?

Obviously Roosters here and I'm actually thinking we have a chance. A good start, solid defence and discipline will be everything 'cos we have attacking play nailed (then again, that's a decent combination in any team).
