I stream Kayo, it covers all sports, though I only watch the WT’s games, but Foxtell would give you a lot of variety on other entertainment.
Fortunately I am old enough to have a son with Kayo subscription and I watch it through that on my lap top. Even if I had to pay for it myself I think it's pretty good value. For the time being you might be able to get a subscription and share it with two mates making it even better value.
Kayo 100%
You can also put a chromecast on yourTV ...or it may already be built in. Then u can send the Kayo broadcast from your phone directly to your TV.
I want to talk to the Alice and co that I really feel for them. And I know it’s not fair and whatever else they used to bleat on about without really giving a fk. And why would they..
That interview is on the WT's website as well.Koroisau almost didn’t make field at all in Tigers’ season opener

Api Koroisau has declared himself a certain starter this week and revealed he came close to not playing in Wests Tigers’ season opener last weekend.
Much was made about the new Tigers skipper starting off the bench against the Gold Coast, with legendary No.9 Cameron Smith adamant the international rake needed to be involved in the early exchanges rather than Jake Simpkin.
But Koroisau said a calf complaint had upset his preparations leading into the Leichhardt Oval clash, and he did not take part in his first serious training session until three days before kick-off.
The Tigers return to Leichhardt on Sunday when they host Newcastle and Jackson Hastings, the former playmaker whose reception from the hill is likely to be mixed.
“I had a calf injury, I didn’t train until the Thursday before the game, and it was more about managing minutes more than anything else,” Koroisau sad.
“‘Sheensy’ [coach Tim Sheens] would have started me if he had the chance. But he didn’t have that choice on the weekend. The call [to play] was only made very late.”
Koroisau spent the back end of last season and the finals coming off the bench for Penrith, with Mitch Kenny elevated to the run-on side. Kenny even started in the grand final.
“[But] that was to get the sting out of the game, it allowed Mitch Kenny to do a lot of the dirty work for me. He’s a great defender and that was the [thought process] behind that,” Koroisau said.
One of the Tigers’ big-money off-season recruits, Koroisau said he was unsure if Sheens had long-term plans to use him as an 80-minute player.
The other unknown will be how Hastings is received when he runs out for the Knights. Tigers fans appreciated Hastings’ passion in his only year at Concord, but there were suggestions some of his relationships among the playing group were strained.
Luke Brooks was giving nothing away when asked what sort of welcome Hastings could expect at Leichhardt and said: “I don’t know, I’m not sure [about the reception]. We were fine.”
The Tigers trained at their inner-western suburban ground on Thursday afternoon, with English recruit John Bateman impossible to miss with his milky-white complexion.
Rumours that Bateman was struggling with an ankle injury and would not be available for a couple of months were quickly shot down by the playing group. The back-rower is an outside chance to play next weekend against Canterbury, but is more likely to make his debut in round four.
“He’s looking good at the moment, but he’s just come over from England, he didn’t do a pre-season with us, and he’s trying to get some ‘ks’ into the legs,” Koroisau said.
“When the high-performance staff and coaches think he’s ready, they’ll put him in. There’s no rush. It’s a long season.”
