Does anybody know if Sky or ESPN have the rights to the NRL for next season?

I bloody hope so...



We missed out on a great run to the end of the season last year.

Please one of them show SOO

Isn't it going to be subscription based on the internet from next season? I'm sure I read that somewhere.

I wonder if you might be able to get it on the PS3 streamed through, like you can the BBC Iplayer?

having got used to seeing the NRL it was awful not having access when Setanta went bust.



ESPN would be my first choice I have to say.

Unfortunately ESPN have the rights to next seasons Aussie rules games. As these games clash with the NRL, I would say its unlikely that they would bid for the contract.



Regarding internet streaming, there as always been an internet based subscription service available. This was provided by big pond. For a few quid a month you can watch all NRL games, I wouldn't recommend it myself, the streams were unreliable and quality appalling.

On the ESPN website when you go through the pages to sign up, it says that they have coverage of the NRL.

The NRL should go back on Sky.





End of.

It should go to who ever give it the best exposure.



When Setanta first got it, it was far superior to Skys coverage. Sky showed one live game on a Saturday and a delayed game on a Sunday. Setanta showed the same plus the Friday night game and the footy show.

Not the 'Footy Show' ....starring Paul 'Fat Man' Vautin and his unfunny buddies??



Thank god Setanta went bust.





Thats about the only good thing about not living in Australia right now.....I don't have to watch those boofheads on my telly anymore.



The Footy Show sucks!

No ones forcing you to watch it... even over here



ESPN will get the flick at my place if there is no coverage



The Aussie Sport TV setup is shocking
