    I'll be on the side where you don't have to pay, throwing rocks over the other side.

    I'll be not paying and hoping the content is relayed online by someone very generous.

    The article Walesy posted said that premium articles could be accessed by googling the article name and then clocking on the story. The person who wrote the article said the HUN will allow ten free articles per day, which is more than enough for me. I'm assuming this wont be possible with the live scores though, but I think I can be patient with scores to save myself a few bucks. I hope they still have quarter by quarter for free though...

    I will follow their best writers on twitter and leave the site alone...
    The best articles are always linked and or C&P'd

    I believe it will be $2.95 per round for live SC scores and assorted trinkets.

    A horse of a different colour. The Hun promotes the hell out of SC and tried to ring a bob out of it with SC Gold. They have now done their sums on over 200,000 coaches hitting the site and figure this is a way to clean up. They fail to appreciate that (many) coaches are clever people who sometimes have difficulty swallowing but are generally very good at throwing rocks.

    I generally don't tweet or whistle Fitzy, but it appears from the TS main page that the Herald Sun aka Super Coach are going to charge for viewing content, including SC scores.

    live score updates for players whilst games are underway (or the round is in progress)

    so no updates for free until sunday night/ mon morning when SC unlocks

    Why the surprise? Don't you know big business does things for our own good. We'll all appreciate it more because we pay.

    Not always the case andy. Just ask chels.
    How do you set up a New Zealander in small business?
    First you set him up in big business then wait.

    No way I'm paying, it was rediculous enough that I had to pay for the app.

    Someone will leak the scores anyway and the articles should be available through google.

    I am happy to pay for sc live scores as this is something we can't get currently.

  17. If I could afford and justify &#36;150 a year for SC somehow I doubt I would bother with it
