Replays of matches on NRL site

I went online to the NRL site after last weekends games wanting to watch some of the games over the weekend that I didn't see, something one could do last year and years prior to that. When I tried to do this I was taken to the Digital Pass pricing page every time and no video was coming. So I wrote to the NRL support email to find out what was happening. So then I was told that if I wanted to watch any full replay I had to sign up to Digital Pass and pay to watch the games. So much for the big push at the NRL launch stating that the members were the difference. Just another way for them to make money, I know that $1.99 per week is not much but why is it this year I can't do what I have for many years for free.

  • So I had this issue too. Even when I signed up for the trial I stuggled to bring up the replay on my computer which is how I prefer to watch (although I can watch via Tbox too). Indeed the Digital Pass doesn't at all mention watching on your computer - it just talks about your tablet or mobile. 

    • Exactly if you are one who is up on the modern technology you are fine but if you are not stiff bickies.

    • So you have the digital pass? i have been wondering about it, as you say it only mentions mobile, tablet. If i could watch on the T-Box or computer i think i might get it. How is it? is it grainy? does it lag?

    • Definitely clearer than pirate TV, but mine was a bit laggy on tablet, fine on phone.
    • Mmmmm android on TV, for 2 bucks and a two week trial you gotta try that!
    • Foxtel go don't allow android on tv and seeing as though this is also a telstra product I'd say theyd have the same restrictions in place.
    • Fui he said Strong box, not foxtel
  • I am sure that if you spend hundreds on Foxtel then you are watching the games live I am not trying to watch them live I am trying to watch them after the event has passed. Anyway if you think Digital Pass is cheap I guess you should ditch your Foxtel.

  • Because Foxtel is live and the replays on NRL are just that replays.

  • Haha you pay hundreds for what i download for free, and i still get it before you can.
