  • Yep, definitely want an updated Roku app. Chromecast works well now though.

    If TRN came and said that with a paid streaming service came improved video services I’d probably subscribe. Not sure how many others would though.

    One thing that MLR and TRN did very well is take essentially nothing and turn it into a service that has 170K subscriptions. They undoubtedly proved that rugby is a sport that not only has a fan base, but has a lot of potential growth.

    There is a fine line with allowing fans to enjoy the sport while making a profit, and using the fans to feed ones greed. The NFL is proof of the pendulum towards the latter. I hope the MLR and TRN see that as well.


  • I don’t mind paying for the Priemership (I’ve been paying Peacock for the last two years) but I agree that paying for the MLR would be difficult to accept unless they made serious improvements to the quality of game video and audio coverage.

    I don’t have an issue with 90% of the announcers, but the video is not very good, especially when they get close up. There are some close ups where my 10-year old flip phone could provide cleaner pixels.

    Steaming services are changing, and the next 2-5 years are going to really test the patience of everyone. I really hope I’m wrong, but it wouldn’t surprise me that we have to endure a period of a-la-carte streaming before providers wake up and realize that it is just pissing off their customer base.









  • NTA - his ego wrote a check his body couldn’t cash. It’s why the military are supposed to exercise every day, even if it’s light (I served 5 years; wife served 22).
    I’ve been in your husband’s shoes; not taking it seriously enough and getting burned when it counted. I regretted it later, and in some respects I still regret it now. Hopefully he’ll use this as self-motivation. If he does, cheer him on. If he doesn’t, let him know that you enjoyed wrestling him last time and smile!
