A little septic over this:
I assume that games won't be available in full because Sly have exclusive rights.

Both of the Hull clubs show games in full.

Agree with everything else you say though. It's probably worth £35 or whatever it is but not very inspiring. I'm not interested in waffle about about games really. Whatever 'inside' info is said by Rads etc will be posted on here anyway...

If they're going to show non-televised games in full I'll go for it, but not bothering otherwise.

Under 20's and Under 18's games would be good as fillers. They film the games already!

I will be waiting on this.

It's not terribly descriptive.

No games = no dice

I think I might hold back as well for the moment, although I was reasonably impressed with the quality if the Saints 13 minute preview on the site is anything to go by.

Yep, was excited as I assumed it would be like the Hull KR service, and thus would be very useful while I'm away.

do they have a duplicate team of cameramen running round then, or just a static viewpoint? It would have to be a considerable gamble on subscription take-up to shell out for anywhere decent coverage of every match.

Keeping an open mind & the cost is reasonable, but we need much more info on future content.

I'm not one for watching games back and don't normally watch a repeat of a game for at least 6 months, but I'd be interested in the old games if there were enough available.

WARNING - GRAPHIC CONTENT - MAY CONTAIN VIEWS THAT UPSET THOSE OF A HAPPY CLAPPING DISPOSITION.

Has anyone actually signed up to the service yet?

The content is uninspiring to say the least at the moment. Certainly not the "groundbreaking" stuff that was in the PR spin fluff. Only seems to be three archive games at the moment and it all frankly looks a bit rushed. Had they got the content right at the start it might have been a goer, and perhaps it might have been prudent to wait to the start of next season and actually have something worth watching on there before going with the big bang start.
