This isn't a certainty but it was a Virgin employee who told me that. I hope it's true as it'll mean I get it free!

Sounds reasonable. When I rang Virgin last week to enquire, the young lady I spoke to had not heard of Premier Sports! I patiently tried to explain and all she could tell me is that an invitation to subscribe will appear on the screen if it is no longer free. She couldn't be bothered to look up my contract details to say whether I will get it free or not.

Definately want it as Sam's debut is I think on live on March 9th against the Eels (7.30am), and hopefully Mossop will be in the opposition.

The customer service from Virgin has always been pretty poor in my experience. But I'm on mate's rates for my XL package so I can't complain too much!

I'm planning on watching quite a few NRL games this year, looking forward to it. Gonna watch 9's too I think but a lot of them are on at silly o'clock so won't be watching live!

Not keen on the 9's but will be following NZ Warriors for Sam and Tommy, Eels for Mossop, Wests for Pat and of course Madge's team for the Burgesses as well as Canterburry for Graham. So quite a bit of interest in the NRL. Part of me hopes Sam does really well and proves himself to be world class, and part of me hopes he is poor and comes back to Wigan pronto!!

Isnt it free on the XL-TV package anyway?

Id heard £7.99 a month, but I hope Yellow Giraffe is right.

That's what I have been told but nothing has been announced yet.

Same here, plenty to be interested in this year for fans over here. Not sure my missus will enjoy all 8 games every weekend but there's always the telly in the kitchen for her!

I hope the wife doesnt mind

Did virgin not show the Aussie games last year? I'm with Sky and paid for Premier.

Premier wasn't available to Virgin customers until the day before the World Cup kicked off.
