If I'm honest I'm far from sure I'll be keeping Sky sports if the coverage of the championship remains as it is. I enjoy the SL games don't get me wrong, but the big driver is how it relates to my team and next year..well, it just won't relate.
I know what you mean - in terms of the league being covered - but as a curiosity even with reduced just middle 8 coverage I wonder if we could still end up being on Sky more next year than this year (or at least as much) even if it is just the middle 8.
How many games have we been on this year? Four? All I can think of is Wakey away and Hull KR at home - as well as the Magic Weekend and Catalans away trip - both of which they show for every team anyway. A subject for another thread, but that must be the absolute bare minimum they can show a team. There is still a chance they might move the London game if everything like league leader's shield and playoff places are sorted mind...
To be honest, showing the 'play-off' between the bottom two clubs is probably the antithesis of everything Sky stand for. I mean, it [icould[/i be a brilliant match, with two sides having nothing to lose giving the ball some air.....I've seen some super games played by local teams in the park, when it comes down to it. It would be a difficult game to market though, and there's probably one game which is likely to be a 'rehearsal' for one of the play-off games - a much more Sky-like game to show for my money. You can almost hear Eddie now, "Just imagine how much better the play-off game is going to be..."...especially if neither side wants to show its hand before the 'big game' and they include lots of numbers between 17 and 40 in the teams.
London V Bulls? Sounds a bit too much like a championship match to me!
