Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse after the London debacle but Wigan away now a Thursday and all the play off games through to OT. Complete joke.

Nothing on our OS that I can see. Thought I was seeing things at half time icon_surprised.gifops: icon_surprised.gifops:

Rugby League fans aren't important so quit yer whining, grab yourself a Sky Sports subscription and STFU. A filler is required during the Premier League Darts off-season anyhow.

Regards,
Super League (bending over for Sky since 1996).

Less traffic on the M62 on a Thursday night. Friday still free for pub duties. Win win.

Rubbish idea. Going to play right into skys hands though as more folk sack off going to the game and sit at home and watch it.

Filler indeed.

If the people at the RFL are not in serious talks with BT Sport or other broacasters they need their bumps reading.

Good point, the rugby union brigade seem to be spreading the union games between different broadcasters.
I presume it's to the highest bidder.

No different to any other sport bar none. Even the Football League play-offs are midweek games.

Sky will do whatever gets ratings and why shouldn't they? They paid for it.

It might not please everyone but if sky pay for it they can pretty much do what they want with it, I would imagine that without the sky money a lot of clubs would be even further in the s*** than they already are.

I'm not irked by them messing fixtures around. My issue is they don't pay enough for it. We get peanuts compared to other sports and I understand we're the second highest viewed sport on Sky. They don't pay anywhere near enough.

Furthermore, they don't promote it at all. Watch your "summer of Soprts" advert on Sky. Plenty of F1, golf, cricket. Not one mention of Super League.

We are completely undervalued by Sky.

This is, of course, more of a criticism of those running the game than Sky. If we're happy to bend over and take it then, of course, they are going to give it to us.

Much of that comes down to the events RL has to sell to Sky's audiences. Those 'Summer of Sport' ads are pretty much exclusive to 'major' events - the Ashes, Lions Tour, US Open, etc. RL has three 'major' events - one is in October and the other two aren't on Sky. Other than the Premier League, which is a different animal entirely, Sky doesn't massively promote regular season games for any sport - it doesn't need to.

Sky will only get their hand in their pocket when Super League / RL is a sought-after product. That means getting the standard right and getting the right audience to watch it. We're talking about the type of audiences that companies that sell expensive products want to talk to - not the sort of audience that gets y about paying £17 to see a play-off semi-final because they spent all of their money on cheap aftershave and online bingo.
