    @Discovery Just read about a multi year deal with foxtel, so i guess no discovery app for Australia in near future and sorry to say but im done with fkdtel so im done with discovery. Sick of paying stupid prices for useless service that i cant watch half the time.

  • Skoboe Jim (@Skoboe) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports If clubs are smart enough to rort the cap then they’re smart enough to publish false figures. Stupid comment from the increasingly stupid 360 panel

  • FootscraysFine1 Footscray's Finest (@FootscraysFine1) reported

    @SkyNewsAust Things must be tough at Foxtel for SkyNews to be used to promote this service.

  • gregg_mayo Gregg Mayo (@gregg_mayo) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports I disagree a persons salary is a private issue and not for the public to be aware. Aren’t the clubs scrutinized by NRL constantly ? Nobody is paying with brown paper bags these days. Third party arrangements are monitored. It’s just crawls trying to make a headline.

  • basque_pierre Pierre Basque (@basque_pierre) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports It would actually help players that are performing as the fans and media noise would get so loud about anyone underpaid. It just adds another element to the fan conversation, must be done.

  • MrCamW Cameron Williams (@MrCamW) reported

    HBO/Warner Discovery will stay with Foxtel in Australia, massive licencing deal, but HBO also has the option to launch their service here but it would be done as a bundle under this arrangement

  • atalanta44 atalanta44💉💉💉💉💉🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🖤💛❤️ (@atalanta44) reported

    @Lisaisalooseun1 Not using the C word, but I used to work for Foxtel back in the early 00’s and one day we got a message direct from God (Rupert Murdoch) that at the end of each call we had to ask ‘are you satisfied with <whatever?>’ The main issue was that most of the call centre staff were 1/?

  • GunbusterDDG41 Gunbuster (@GunbusterDDG41) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Maybe its Third party deals that should be made public, salaries not so much, the journos always report what players are getting on their contracts, so no need unless theyre full of **** also

  • _mojo81_ MojoAU (@_mojo81_) reported

    @SwoopLuke @kayosports I got the email today too. Not happy. Foxtel is crap and over priced. Kayo is now a joke.. always buffering and jittery.

  • Anarkii_ Anarkii  (@Anarkii_) reported

    @svatmann Free to Air arial, foxtel, nbn via optic cable, and dunno wtf the extension cord is

  • Timetoretire62 Trevor (@Timetoretire62) reported

    @JohnCleese We know, hence why a lot of us refuse to buy any Murdoch afffiliated rag, nor will I pay for Foxtel or Kayo, much to my frustration, cause free to air TV in Australia sucks.

  • Amarillo1942237 Amarillo (@Amarillo1942237) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports I will explain. When you are a swinning team and make 3 straight GF's and win back to back comps, your players are worth more money. So you prioritise who you want to keep. Those down the list get offered less than those at the top, & being premiership winners, get better offers.

  • OKstartrunning OKToldyouso😉 (@OKstartrunning) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports No they don’t earn multi millions - not enough to make them public. If they do, then they will be rorted by managers and clubs into unfair deals, insurance companies for private health and care to the extent no one will afford to be able to play. This is a stupid ******* idea

  • BiLLyBoiiiiii Billy Boiii (@BiLLyBoiiiiii) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Buzz you never seem to amaze you lowlife human. Can someone ask what Gus has done to this sewer rat ? It's beyond belief that he can't stop with the Gus stories

  • publiusenigma94 Andrew Whiteman (@publiusenigma94) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Lol no you don’t say!!! Poor Ciraldo, the first sign of his **** decision making was agreeing to coach at the same joint Gus will be. Look how it worked for Ivan and Griffin, Gus and Coaches CANNOT coexist in peace! Poor Cam, could have had a long and successful coaching career!

  • svatmann Svvatmann (@svatmann) reported

    @simon_says99 Lifting earth for the Foxtel dish is all I can figure (ex sparkie). It's open circuit to all the Foxtel plugs too? I can only assume it's woo to **** up complainers?

  • mitchelson_luke Luke Mitchelson (@mitchelson_luke) reported

    @Foxtel If you like to watch the same **** month in month out over and over again same with Netflix

  • dangerpresent dangerpresent (@dangerpresent) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports 100% and there is only one reason why they wont. It will highlight obvious advantages and possible salary cap issues. When you see a player that is offered 1m elsewhere, but is on half that at the Roosters!!

  • smegggleh273736 Jesus is lord (@smegggleh273736) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Why ******** would they get rid of Hastings if they want to get George Williams

  • TheG_Peach Peach 🍑 (@TheG_Peach) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Buzz has to be one of the biggest flops that we unfortunately have to put up with reporting garbage news stories.

  • svatmann Svvatmann (@svatmann) reported

    @dispose_humans Yeah it's gone. I tested it as open circuit to everything. I'm guessing it was a black magic fix to Foxtel dropping out in the rain to appease the sky news enthusiasts who lived there. Said plug was in the master bedroom too.

  • GavWav GavWav (@GavWav) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Look at Paul Kent sitting there not he’s not some parasite with an anger problem and no clue.

  • hayrooster Luke A (@hayrooster) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports I think the NRL public should know how much that idiot gets paid to spew his Ill informed, slanderous, agenda driven rubbish. Whatever it is, it’s 100% too much. He’s like you’ve given an anonymous Facebook troll a public forum and free range. Poor broadcasting

  • agorton01 Andrew (@agorton01) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Buzz just proving he is more of an idiot every time he speaks…

  • svatmann Svvatmann (@svatmann) reported

    @BoneJeni @JohnCleese It's so bad that in cities you need a foxtel subscription, but in regional areas it's free and people think it's the good news station.

  • Amarillo1942237 Amarillo (@Amarillo1942237) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports 1 I will explain. When you are a winning team and make 3 straight GFs and win back to back comps, your players are worth more money. So you prioritise who you want to keep. Those down the list get offered less than those at the top, & being premiership winners, get better offers.

  • lazarer Ratko Lazarevic (@lazarer) reported

    @FOXNRL @Foxtel @kayosports Crap

  • GFlagpie Gina Flagpie (@GFlagpie) reported

    @SwoopLuke @kayosports I loath kayo , such poor quality . I’m now paying $40 a month for Foxtel because I told them they are too expensive. So they gave me sports channel cheaper . Winning for 12 months

  • TronaldRump Sven Hillbillynetti (@TronaldRump) reported

    @FOXTEL_Help @Foxtel your help function is being less than helpful

  • daveystan1 Dave Stanley (@daveystan1) reported from Sydney, State of New South Wales

    Take note, looks to be an issue with some on the STC channel number in homes on Foxtel box. Coming up as 588 and not 528.
