          Kayo atm is a much better deal for sports lovers. For $25 per month you get rugby including the 6 Nations and Premiership Rugby, cricket, league, basketball, AFL, NFL, tennis etc. Stan will only be showing SH rugby and we will definitely be seeing an increase in their price to at least $20 a month once they have the rugby rights.

            @akan004 yeah I'll be keeping my Foxtel Go subscription. Cricket channel. Every NRL and AFL game. NBA. NFL. And the HBO shows. I ditched movies and the surplus stuff ages ago.

              I don't have time for other sports so the Stan offering is right up my alley.

              The price increase will be interesting. The three plans currently are $10 (basic - 1 screen), $14 (standard - 3 screens + HD), $19 (premium - 5 screens, adds 4K). So whether they just force you to go $19 to get rugby or have some other kind of setup is the key.

                    @Bovidae nup. There will be a bit of recruitment happening and they'll probably try what Channel 7 did with the cricket and lose most of the bad operators from Fox/Nine when it changed hands.

                        Kayo is a stretch at $25 for me so no way I could add another subscription on top. Super Rugby and RC is all I am really interested in. When you start adding up all of your media subscriptions it starts looking scary. Netflix, Kayo, Adobe Photography Plan, Microsoft Office, Spotify etc etc

                                  Is Bray still alive? They could pick him up on a free transfer you would think. But fuck me if I would listen to that piston wristed gibbon again. It seems like Greg Clark has been calling the rugby for a bloody long time, I like Horan and Harrison seems all right. I'm not a fan of Marto and Kearns but must give Kearns some credit as he seems to be getting his sight back in his other eye.

                                    Yes. He does Channel 10 FTA for TRC at the moment. It is about as awful as you'd think, but I'll bet he's a leader in his church or something.

                                    At least he's stopped trying to make up nicknames. Still oodles of random facts about schools/clubs etc that player A/B/C went to.

                                        Is there any reason we cannot access alternative commentary, must be mainly kiwis paying the subscription anyway, or would they have to pay extra for Marshalls accurate in game analysis?

                                          I don't have time for other sports so the Stan offering is right up my alley.

                                          The price increase will be interesting. The three plans currently are $10 (basic - 1 screen), $14 (standard - 3 screens + HD), $19 (premium - 5 screens, adds 4K). So whether they just force you to go $19 to get rugby or have some other kind of setup is the key.

                                          Yeah, as I said earlier, I'm happy to ditch Kayo for Stan, which I already have, as I only really watch rugby and the Warriors ... but I hope they get the NPC rights.

                                          @akan004 yeah I'll be keeping my Foxtel Go subscription. Cricket channel. Every NRL and AFL game. NBA. NFL. And the HBO shows. I ditched movies and the surplus stuff ages ago.

                                          How much is that in total? Just wondering as you can get Kayo and Binge for $39 so if over that you may want to swap?
