The RFL are in the pocket of Sky - which is kinda understandable, as Sky are the only big money regular contributor. But the reliance on Sky is limiting every aspect of the game.'"
Been reported this week that the Football rights could go for 4 billion due to BT sports interest. No doubt that BT will take a bigger slice of the games than the 38 per year that they currently have.
Think the RFL were too quick to jump into a new sky deal. Obviously sky were wanting to protect the RL deal early, incase they lost out on prem football.
Sky are only showing games from the qualifers, Im sure each one of those will include one of the SL teams. So they arn't really showing any championship
