Sounds like Sky Sports NZ has made a last minute decision to show the game?

On one hand, I'm glad both sky sports and nrl.com are showing it.
On the other hand, I wish the constant whingers who have zero understanding of how media broadcasting works had to sit without access to a game for once.

Not too sure who this is aimed at?
I was one of the first to show interest in this game and note on here that it isn't listed as being showing on Sky. I am well aware on how broadcasting rights work and have missed events in the past when they have been played on a service I don't have or not played at all. The England vs Samoa series last year is an example. I would have liked to have gotten up to watch the Challenge Cup final the last 10 years or so but haven't been able to due to broadcasting rights.
I have even missed events they had had the rights for. Either due to the previous event has gone late or the event advertised never gets played. I've had a few recored and fast forwaded through and found what I "recorded" didn't get shown.
They have had long enough to sort it out. Or did they not even bid for it at all until the NRL decided to play it?
I understand something played at 2:30am isn't going to have a huge audience. You lessen your potential audience when you don't advertise you have the rights or have it listed. Even now while it's on it isn't listed.
Not sure what games we have never missed out on that missing this one would be "miss out on a game for once". Seeing as there is an entire competition (Super League) we don't have rights to at the moment. So, we have missed out on games.
It's not much to ask if something is being played at 2:30am to know if you can get it up for it. Or record to watch later.
On a larger scale they have cut the NRL rights close. To the point where they had to run on a temporary contract. I know of quite a few people who prior to that announcement called to say they were cancelling. For a company under threat from other options having 20-30 year customers threatening to leave isn't ideal.
Thanks. Glad I saw this post.
I didn't know about the broadcast change as have been out with the family all day, plus out for dinner. Thought I was all sorted with the NRL site. So didn't look anything up when I got home.
Went to bed laughing to my wife I'll get up with a first world problem. Hoping I can cast it off their site to the TV or sorting out hooking it up to the TV. I woke up still half asleep trying to find it on the NRL site. Went back to find the link on here.
Staying up will be a fair effort. I had a nap in the afternoon and still went to bed early to get up.
Told my wife not to expect much out of me on Sunday. Get up for the Ashes game, sleep, get up to try and catch the Parker fight. Then later the Samoa vs Tonga match.
I was wantined to watch the UFC and thought that would clash with the Samoa vs Tonga game. That is on now (prelims) and main card at 7am. Watching that might be pushing it a bit.

Walsh will go down as one of the best players ever in the NRL. A crazy talent

On the strong coffee now, pretty excited about the Parker fight, managed a few hours sleep, defo gonna watch Samoa vs Tonga too.
We should sleep well tonight bro.
Watched the replay on Sky this morning. Thought there were a few names to mention for England. Pearce-Paul looked good, Herbie is currently the best centre in the game and Williams and Lewis are serviceable enough halves. Otherwise it was the Reece Walsh show. Hoping for a closer game next time.
Pretty lacklustre game tbh, was hoping the poms would fire more shots than that.
Typical Aussie just suffocated them with their D, played for territory, applied pressure and waited for the inevitable cracks.

I was very impressed with Mark N ( Roosters) for Australia
This guy makes the right decisions pops balls runs high ball taker a complete footballer.
Of course R Walsh voted man of the match
Just wish he would tone down the wackiness
Big swan dive on try 1 think he aggravated his ankle doing that
The old chest thumping on try 2
Ott son tone it down
Yes ..POMS not upto much ...Aussie should really have put few more tries on them .. I don't see England going far next year in the WC ...
