NRL NRL on Sky

That is the other annoyance when you travel and the games aren't on the cut down channels at the motel/hotels.

Last year travelling to work I ended up using SkyGo.

I did travel last week and the hotel had prices for the wifi access. My room for the conference was all paid for so I wasn't going to add extra. Mind you even if I was paying I wasn't paying those prices.

One of my first tasks when I get into a room. Check what channels are available.

Only shit thing is you can’t use the app overseas

Got to do with the rights I assume. Each channel would have to have different licenses for specific countries with different sports

If the ad's any guide, League Lounge should be damn good.

Happy for the man. Absolutely will be tuning in...

Sounds like a compacted podcast format and padding the analysis with relaxing stuff, hope they don’t go goofy and stupid like Fletcher and Hinds, Tohu and Blake are not known for pranking (although apparently Tohu is capable of having a dirty mouth to the opposition? )

Brilliant, hopefully not geo-blocked by Sky on YouTube for non NZers.

Looks like we may be getting some classic matches played over the summer or at least at the moment while there is a bit of a gap in live sport.

Just had the 1991 Melbourne test on.

Also some old Warriors games coming up. 2018 season opener vs Souths, 1997 vs Raiders. A few from 2021, 2022.

A few Grand Finals 1985 and 2001.

Some look to be highlights and others full matches.

The 1991 game was an interesting watch. Shows how much the game has changed. 5m rule and just the shape the teams play. Was funny as part way though it did the old VHS tracking type screen and went to golf like they borrowed someones tape from home and they taped over their fathers golf tape.

Sounds like we are going to get sky in 4k next year so hopefully includes NRL coverage

We’ll be able to see those terrible ref calls against the warriors in ultra high definition

The Ashes looked pretty good in 4k.
Surely we get the Fox 4k games over here too

Not necessarily Sky related but is related to watching League on TV.

Bar TV who show the NSW Cup / Flegg / SG Ball / Harold Matt's games are now also going to show Auckland Rugby League games on their streaming service.

Glenn Larmer will no longer be calling rugby league on Sky NZ and in my view that’s a good thing. His commentary often felt flat IMO. I hope the new person that they bring on is good.

There was a paywall article mentioning this on friday. Beavan Dewar is the lead caller 2026

The guy is a fool. I struggle to listen to sports nation first thing in the morning because of him and Israel Dagg.
