Is Bray still alive? They could pick him up on a free transfer you would think.
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.
they better fucking hire Louise Ransome

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.
@mariner4life said in Aussie Rugby:
@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?

I'm hoping it will come bundled with the RC and whatever Super Rugby exists ... the more content the better I reckon.

They're not even committing to the NRC so I doubt whether MTC will get a run.

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.

All I hope for is they provide an option to not listen to the commentary.

Seems Oz Rugby maybe finally getting their shit together. Could be in for some stiff competition in years to come.

Yeah, I actually decided to check the article and discovered that yep they have the NPC. This is win win for me, I'll now be saving money.

its a good start, taking the long term potential to reach out to more casual fans v what was report as more money right now from Foxtel

So doing a bit more reading on this it sounds like this will not be part of Stan by default, but an added content that you pay for on top of the standard subscription i.e. Stan Sport.

As long as it's cheaper than $25 then it's all good with me.
