JUST WATCHING THE AUCKLAND 9's,THOUGHT TOMPKINS HAD A GOOD SOLID DEBUT GAME

I don't have Sky, so it makes no odds to me either way.

Why get your knickers in a twist over this?
Sky+ the programme & fast forward thru the Tomkins bit, simple really & you miss all the ads too.
Win/win for me.

I can't wait for regular updates about how Mason Tonks is going down there.

Sky will be showing that won't they?

I don't watch NRL, don't have time. It's right to question what relevance Tomkins has to Skys coverage of Super league.

Ity would make sense if he were a regular guest on Premier Sports but until he's back pulling on an England/GB jersey I'm not really that interested in watching Eddie fawn over him.

Sky are a private company, they're not license-funded like the beeb. They can fill their programs with whatever they want (within reasonable ethical and legal constraints - we know Murdoch-led media groups would never engage in unethical or illegal journalism). Watch, don't watch. Subscribe, don't subscribe. No point getting all outraged about it.

They could launch a Sam Tomkins channel if they want to. It's up to you whether you pay for it or watch it.

Launch Sam Tomkins/Tompkins/Ablett's bezzie into Channel.... i'd watch.
