I have sent a strongly worded email threatening to cancel my subscription if the NRL games are not reinstated. I would like as many as possible to email them and complain, if enough do it could possibly sway things.

I weren't so lucky and will be monitoring the output pretty carefully as I only subscribed for the NRL coverage.

Its a shame really, Ive had Setanta for the last two NRL season and the coverage has been far far better than when Sky had it, you also got the NRL on Fox shows and the footy show (which they still have!) still i suppose one game is better than none, whether it's worth the fee is debatable.

Satanta gets alot of stick IMO, I can understand why your upset about less NRL games but I'm overall quite impressed with the channel and quite like the extra premiership game and odd England game

I pay overt the odds for the full Sky+ package. For the limited tV I watch and the crap that's on its' simply not worth it.

If anything I would rather cut back on channels than pay for yet another like Sultana or whatever.

I've even resisted the temptation for Sky HD.

If t'wife and kids would let me I'd cancel the lot and just have freeview.






Quote:Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.

My Sky subscription is the fourth biggest household expense after the mortgage, loan and council tax. And just for the RL.

Thank god I don't have any vices to pay for as well.

The skill with which the Cowboys threw away the game to the Bronchos was top bag. The way they were so composed in losing the ball every touch for the last 25 mins, it's something all SL teams should aspire to. God save the NRL






Hold up homie. If you're feeling froggy, Jump!

Of course, because monopolies are a good thing.

Want to watch something? Better hope that Rupert does as well.

Hi I phoned Setanta myself yesterday and told them exactly the same as you. I was told if you want to cancel it is a minimun contract of 6 months and 30 days notice. I have e-mailed a complaint, but have not rec'd a reply as yet. Obviously rugby league supporters are getting shaffted yet again by the tv companies, as we did when Sky stopped showing N R L games because they got league one games free.
