Charity Shield 2019

[rednwhites]

I don't think you're able to. The NRL are now removing player highlight videos from youtube due to copyright.

Not sure why the NRL would do this as it is free promotion of the competition and the sport.

Kayo Sports for $25 a month is great value. Can watch it on your phone or TV in HD. I've got it set up on Android tv with the Shield but you can chrome cast it too.

It's worked perfectly so far, big test will be when the big games are on. Let's hope I didn't jump the gun getting rid of foxtel

A good option for those interstate who can't get to game like me and don't want to pay a thousand bucks for cable tv.

There is a deal for $5 first month right now with free cancellation through Kayo. Think I will try this.

This is what we want to see tonight .........................

.........and plenty more please!

I'd love to see those 3 players have blinders tonight. We really need the best out of Ben Hunt. I think with all the talk around Norman and Widdop we have somewhat forgotten about Ben Hunt. This guy was our massive signing. He is our marquee player.
He is on massive money, he should be one of the most dominant players in the NRL on that money.
C'mon Benny, give us a masterclass tonight!

On Kayo you can also share account with 1 other person - set up profiles like you can on Netflix- so if you share with a friend its only
$12.50 a month. Great value. You can also airplay to your TV unlike the Nrl Live App.

Dragons enjoy their week in Mudgee
This week Matt Dufty, Tim Lafai and Luciano Leilua met with local media to discuss the team's time in the Mudgee community ahead of the annual Westfund Charity Shield.

After a 4:00 am start I have made it as far as Katoomba, just 2 more hours to Mudgee. Thought it best to visit the Carrington Hotel and Hydro Majestic on the way, to admire the view of course!

My friends in Mudgee are saying the town are indeed a welcoming bunch.

"WELCOME TO DRAGON TOWN"
and
"MUDGEE, THE WEMBLEY OF THE WEST"

I emailed league why they aren't streaming
I did it in live pass last year .
But the nrl said it's up to the broadcasters.
Anyway off to the local rsl.

Hey Willow, you’re in my neck of the woods! If you’re at the Carrington, take a quick stroll down to the station bar - they have an awesome alcoholic ginger beer on tap.

 

[Life's Good]

To those heading to Mudgee I hope you have a great trip.
Nice to see Bennett get another shot at the Charity Shield, pity it’s not in our colours.
Go Saints

Thanks for the tip, might give the Station a go on our way out on Monday.

Carrington is a splendid old hotel but not snobby.

Unfortunately I just discovered that the Hydro Majestic really sucks. it used to be excellent 20+ yeats ago. That is, before they renovated the place.

Decided to spend our lunch money in the next town.

Fox has live 7pm. I thought it started earlier

Crush, I think Hunt being quiet is a good thing.

As for Hunt’s $1m pa Milward has said “it’s no where near that”. I have no problem believing that’s the case. The million dollar man title is getting tired especially when it’s not true.

I reckon Widdop would be on more money than Hunt and it’s pretty well reported that Norman is receiving $950k this year (thanks to Parra).

If anyone needs to earn his massive money it’s Norman.

 

[ALSGI]

I’m pretty excited about this year and more excited about a Charity Shield than I have been in years.

Points of interest for me are the Battle of Britain, stopping Cook and seeing if Field, Rava, Timm, Kerr still have fire in their bellies.

The rest, I’m not expecting much from - it’s a trial - happy to see them go through the motions and keep their powder dry for the start of the comp, Townsville, Bunnies again and Brisbane for Korbin’s first real game.

Go you mighties!

Hope the team goes out onto the playing field with the view of winning a tough game of football and not fall back on the notion that 'its only a trial.'

C'om the Saints!

Nothing earth shattering with this line up.

Most forum members would have predicted Mary would pick this side.

The fact that many of us disagree with Mary’s team selection is nothing new.

The incumbents will only lose their positions due to injury.

Hope the team has a blinder, and Mary proves to be more astute at selecting the team than the majority of us.

 

[Crush]

Nice.
Slowest 1-5 ever assembled.
