Check out the live streaming section under video on the NRL website. Pretty much covers all.
I think you can also watch full replays from the website on League TV, also in the video menu

NRL streaming from their website does not work outside Australia or New Zealand without $100 subscription fee.

Jeez, 100 bucks.... I'm gonna be in Canada for a month in july and I'm while I'm there I'm missing 5 Sharks games and SOO 3. I knew NRL.com streamed games for people overseas but I didn't think it be that much. I guess if it's a subscription fee you could watch every game in the season but I only want to watch 6.

cant you go to NRL. com and watch the full games a day or two after the game? they upload them. not sure if it will work in the states but

That is about live streaming.
As sharkyboy said, cant you can also just watch the replays of the games a couple of days after on League TV on the website.I was watching one yesterday.

I lived overseas playing footy for a while. I have found the 'pirate' networks the best way to catch the game. I say this, however you have to be careful of these sites. One wrong click on some of these pop ups and who knows what you are exposing yourself to.

Sharks games from time to time can be difficult to stream on these sites to watch, particularly in recent years where their games haven't exactly been, well the game of the week per se.

From other experience i have found in North America you should try for the very specialist sports bars, they can tend to cater for you provided you suss out the network. There tends to be one in every city. Tweet to David Nui, he might be able to assist.

My best recommendation is trying to get in touch with any local footy clubs, they are always happy to assist and make a friend who is a fan of the game!

No. Highlights only. Any request for complete games sends browser to the nrl livesport.tv site.

I'm not actually complaining about this, I know the NRL have to limit their online content because the rights have been sold to Sky Pacific and other companies that broadcast on their networks. Just discussing OP's initial query.

I get more live games on 'free tv' than you guys

Interesting, I doubt it will be but I would love to see that game televised.

Samshark, not looking for an argument, but what country are you in?

I understand that for you when you go to that link you can watch all the videos listed. This thread is about other countries and in this one, while they are listed, they are not available when clicked on.
