NRL to stream All Stars game live

[El Diablo]

NRL NRL



Spread the word: #NRL.com will be streaming the #NRLAllstars match live on Saturday night from 8pm!

i wonder if this is because 9 are merkins and won't show it in most states?

maybe the stream will be better PQ than 9's crappy SD

They should do this every time 9 refuse to honour their contract.

 

[get amongst it]

what time are they broadcasting from channel 9?

 

[Cumberland Throw]

Just a question how much extra does channel 9 pay for all star rights.. ?

I reckon there would be $3 M in revenue for the channel as a result of the game..

 

[El Diablo]

nothing i assume as it came in after the last rights deal

Well done NRL. Some common sense, but C9 should be f**king ashamed of themselves. How about we get this for all Storm games televised on FTA?

Hopefully this Twitter chain message actually makes the news. Hard to see how casuals will get wind of this unless the media picks it up

The day I can stream all my NRL content to my computer will be a grand day indeed. I am happy to pay the NRIL a subscription for it. I will be happy when I can f**k off both channel nine and fox from my life.

Something like NFL's Gamepass would be nice, Id pay for a subscription.

Count me in. And the potential of the NRL's presence on the internet is awesome. They could do all sorts of interesting things like integrating fully customisable extras like; fantasy gaming, on demand stats, League history, Wikis, on demand rule explanations, etc, et al. I dearly hope they realise this "potential" and act accordingly (ie forget these Telstra jokers - look how boring the NRL's current web presence is).

I reckon there would be $3 M in revenue for the channel as a result of the game..

My guess with tie-ins etc, maybe slightly above that. Probably low $3M high $5M. There's more that they can do with it.

I mean the lack of pre-season cup coverage means they miss out on content that could be generating over $10 million a year roughly.

Tie All Stars-Pre Season Cup-Charity Shield-World Club Challenge-7s into a pre-season package and you've got a pretty good amount of material to generate advertising interest before the season even kicks off.

Now with smart tvs its so easy to watch downloaded material.

I cant wait till the NRL have its own internet broadcast of matches live and with the NBN we could watch it all in HD streaming.

Id happily pay $20-$30 per month for just HD NRL coverage.

I havent had fox since the end of last footy season and honestly dont miss it that much at the moment.

This is to let Foxtel know they have competition.

The AFL is gearing up to have it's own broadband channel and RL is following suit.

Expect a seriously bigger bid now from Foxtel.

 

[Canard]

Don't believe this is the new.

Im positive its been broadcast on the internet every year that its been on. (legally)

Being in Melbourne thats the only way Ive ever watched it.(legally)

 

[GongPanther]

I had NFL gamepass this season for $100 although the play-offs are not included in that price although they are shown on the Ten Network anyway.

I would pay double that if the NRL got their own Channel.

But theres no way I'd pay $30 a month for it as Jimmee007 states.

 

[carlosthedwarf]

Can I watch it on NRL.com without the Nine idiots talking?

The sooner NRL's equivalent of NFL Game Pass/NBA League Pass arrives the better, I'm sick of the Nine/Foxtel grip on the game.

They did the same thing last year. Why wouldn't they do it again. Still not a reason 9 should not still show it nationwide.
