No problem with showing games involving the lower-ranked teams, but why London away to Leeds? Why not a more evenly matched game with both sides having a chance of winning? Having said that, if London win at Leeds I wouldn't want to miss it.

Well unless they're total hypocrites who twist scenarios to suit some pathetic agenda then William Eve & Gutterfax will definitely believe so, yes.

Biggest dedicated sports channel in the country showing RL all day while ignoring the Winter Olympics.
How's that for a WC legacy!

Yeah but...Nigel Wood, mail merge, CRM, Guffaw, NZRFU........

Regards by plenty

A post directed at the popular masses eh.....that'll win you friends.




Why would SKY promote anything they don't have the rights to? When did I say they should promote a sport they don't have? More so, other than a nutter on a breakfast tray heading south at 150mph and a few Scottish birds with brooms on an ice-rink with marbles, why would even the BBC want to promote it? If you think Union is elitist, then I'm stunned your working class roots let you even acknowledge the existence of "winter sports"



RLWC Legacy is all around us..........the sport will grow for the next 8 years until the RLWC returns to blighty on the back of the astute business done by Knock-down Nigel et al......I can see SL attendances re-cracking the 10K average again this year and I predict 70,000 people will switch power supply companies, therefore doubling the financial size of the sponsorship deal. I suspect that the top 12 in 2014 will bare little resemblance to the top 12 in 2021.....that's how far reaching this RLWC legacy will prove to be.


Have you seen the lead RL story on the BBC site BTW?....How's that for a lasting legacy

Oh dear






As I said, hypocrite.



Trying to make predictions instead of dealing in current truths just reinforces the fact you already lost this one. First the World Cup and now this, you're not doing too well really.



Lead story on the BBC is "Super League: Wigan Warriors 8-24 Huddersfield Giants"
Looks good to me

Current truths?
The Current truth is that the current SL deal has 3 years to run and is less than the respective AND CURRENT deal for Union. To ease this pain, certain insecure RL fans (that's you BTW) will harp on about the NEW deal being bigger than the current union deal, ignoring the fact that the Union deal will be renegotiated in a couple of years time at which stage, 40 million a year might not look so sexy.
But, there I go again, drifting off into the future. As I say, currently, SL TV's deal isn't as big as the current Union deal.
As for the RLWC legacy


FU Superleague at what 'COULD BE' worth 750k a year is half the CURRENT sponsorship deal that Saracens RU have. Sammy-Gate with the RFU sniffing around a PR opportunity was the landing page story of the BBC when I posted it (nice choice to delay in answering), Bradford did go into administration, the RFL are paying the landlord of the London Broncos, the owner of the champions and one of the new money men in the game are questioning the business acumen of the sport "in the media" and the BBC's deal to show "live" international RL looks like being allocated a Sunday morning breakfast spot in 2014.
Yep.....SL XIX started at the weekend and the biggest positive was that 4 ex-London Broncos from 2013 were on show........amazing what a change of scenery can do for players!

By the way, questions regarding the RFL making payments to the Landlord of the Broncos should be directed to either the club or to the RFL. All I know was it was announced during a fans forum at the weekend.......apparently he's supposed to market the team with it, which I find strange given he gets to keep the gate receipts.

Sky dont release the games for the later part of the season until they know who is performing well and what the bigger "pulls" will be.

Random comparison to RU…..Check
Back of Fag packet completely made up sum using plucked out of air figures……..Check
Generic Criticism of RFL………..Check
Comparison or irrelevant RL negatives to RU positive…….Check

Do i win Gutterfax Bingo?

There you go with the union obsession again.

You're doing it again, just like you always do when things aren't quite going your way.

If we want to benchmark RL then do it against RL not other sports like RU, Football or NFL.

You were quite happy to prattle on about there being "no legacy" barely 2 weeks after the WC ended

and now that things are actually starting to happen you're back to prattling on about other sports again.

At least you try



And do you really think I went into hiding until the main page of the BBC's website was updated? Jesus christ that's the most insecure thing i've ever read on here.
