Rugby on Stan

@kiwimurph showing games in pubs would have a negative impact on wagering..?

Further down that article:
The news comes just a week after V’landys complained to Nine Entertainment Co, the owner of Stan and the publisher of this masthead, about the lack of promotion for the upcoming NRL season in comparison to the rebranded Super Rugby competition, which started on Friday night. V’landys did not want to comment when contacted on Friday night.

Comedy gold. The NRL boss gets a say on whether rugby is shown in pubs.

@crazy-horse When I was in Adelaide last year during the initial Super Rugby season, they didn't even show many games on Fox Sports.
I have foxtel and they were all broadcast, must just be the choice of the pub what they show

We have a pub as our major partner and they barely show any rugby at all unless you ask and there aren't 3 games each of AFL + Loig + Cricket + Horses + Dogs on

@nta definately, before i got foxtel i had a tame pub that would put the super rugby on the screen at the back for me, only ywo small table could see the screen so was perfect for me and the odd person that wold come in
now im ditching foxtel i'll try and do the same (new local) for things like cricket or potentially the ABs in europe?

In the case of one particular match, Fox wasn't broadcasting it in South Australia. I checked their website at the time.

I mean, they would have loved to, but only 5 channels and 300 games of AFL....

so only one match had some sort of clash? which would be understandable given the weird time of year etc, or does foxtel have different schedules in different states?
-
@kiwiwomble I think they have different schedules in SA, because the match was on TV in NSW etc.

I remember finding an English pub willing to put on a Bledisloe game for me, on one of their three sports channels. A fucking tight match, either side could win... and 10 minutes to go, they switch the channel. I'm all "what the actual fucking fuck!?", and they're like "yeah, well, it's the first weekend of sook-ball, and the other channels are taken by other sook-ball games, so this one's going to show Bumfuck United vs Cockwomble Wanderers... and the 20 minute pre-match is just about to start". A pre-match for some 4th grade unknown match-up was more important than an international test between 2 of the top-3 teams in the world (I'm pretty sure the yellow-shirts were around #3 at the time)
Fucking fluffybunnies. Even during the 2015 World Cup, hosted by the pricks, I was in pubs where 90% of the TVs were dedicated to some bullshit sook-ball, with a small TV in the corner showing rugby for the sake of the thousands of fans who'd flown in to the country for a major event.
And this was BEFORE england got kicked out of their own tournament. Jesus, it's good to remember that happening.

While Stan work out a solution, both Nine and Rugby Australia executives were thrilled with the audience that tuned in for the Reds’ record-breaking win against the Waratahs. The Herald has learned the match was watched by about 200,000 people across 9Gem and Stan Sport. About 150,000 of those viewers tuned in on Nine’s secondary channel and the other 50,000 watched via Stan’s new streaming arm. Combined, the numbers tripled the total viewership for the corresponding match in the first round last year. -
@kiwimurph surprising numbers, thought it had been a petty quiet kick off but that is maybe just a case of being in Melbourne
-
@kiwiwomble It's been the most heavily advertised season launch for a long time - billboards, Australian Open tv ads etc.

Got Stan last night. Not bad at all. Even got to watch Beauden Barrett’s first game in Japan. Quite entertaining but the standard is still pretty shit. When the likes of Tevita Li carve up like Lomu then you know it isn’t exactly top drawer.

I was going to mention that. Li looked like a superstar. Defensive ability has some way to go in the Top 14
-
The Rugby show on Stan was not bad.
Enjoyed it more than The Breakdown.
-
Lions tour games also on Stan in varying quantity from 1997 through to 2013
-
The 2005 listing has Three Tests, Maori ABs, Auckland, Manawatu, Southland, Otago, Wellington, Taranaki, and BOP
That was all the games of that tour bar the Argentina match I believe...
-
still haven't turned it on, and seriously questioning whether or not i will
Friday games are out. Kick off at 4.30, the kids have sport from 5-7.
I might watch the odd saturday game. but kick off times are a bitchwith 2 games a weekend involving NZ teams, there is not a lot of content there.
-
going to miss tomorrows game live, team from work have decided tomorrow will be the first time we catch up in person for a few drinks...cant really say no, will watch delayed when i get home
-
@mariner4life you could try the 30 day free trial?
-
@kiwimurph does it come with extra hours in the day?
-
@mariner4life so its not really stan thats the problem its life

You realise the games are on demand too?
-
@kiwiwomble said in Rugby on Stan:

yeah, that's what i meant. I need to add another subscription. But i don't see the point for two games a week, one of which i will never get to watch. It's not even really the cost, because isn't it $10 a month?

dude, once that game is done, the chances of me having a couple of hours on say, Sunday morning, to watch that, are fuuucking slim. I already know the score, so the motivation is low
-
@mariner4life That's fair. I wasn't being condescending - there is a lot of confusion out there of people thinking the games are only live.
It's $20 a month ($10 for base Stan + $10 Stan Sport). Where it works out ok is if somehow you are able balance it out by reducing/removing another subscription (obviously not always possible).

i already have Stan. And yeah, i get that the on-demand thing works. As i say, the biggest issue for me is, i only care about NZ games, and there are 2 of them a week (SRA's biggest issue by a fucking mile). Throw in a 3 hour time difference, and there are a lot of roadblocks.
-
@mariner4life yep - looking increasingly likely going to have to wait til next year at the earliest for trans-tasman Super games.

Pregame here on Stan is good. Bit of emotional stuff from a few of the players across the ditch.
Mehrts having a few jokes at his own expense. Class.
-
Perfect stream tonight. No drop outs and the picture quality was excellent.
Only gripe is that due to the 30 second delay tsf comments are often ahead of what we are watching. Found out the Crusaders scored their last try before I saw it on TV.

He has made a loooong and enriching post-playing career here in Oz taking the piss out of his defense in front of rooms of drunk aussies
-
Already pissed at Stan, nearly four hours after the game and they only have a 7min highlights package, stuck the whole bloody game up!
-
@kiwiwomble the whole replay is up.
-
@kiwimurph I’m looking at it right now and they just put a 20min highlight up

@kiwiwomble are you using a tv app or phone?
