| Unsurprising given the utter contempt with which Sky treat RL in 2015.
Super League matches moved to an awful Thursday night timeslot putting them in direct competition with numerous other live sports.
Boots N All now filmed in the Sky Studios cafe rather than an actual studio, and only featuring one guest.
SL Full Time changed from a panel show to a non-studio show, and now reduced to a half hour highlights show.
Back Chat and Supermen scrapped, NRL highlights show scrapped.
Coverage on Sky Sports News massively reduced and often cut altogether from the hourly rotation.
No Championship coverage of any kind bar Summer Bash, despite holding the rights.
RL is the ONLY sport to which Sky holds any kind of exclusive rights not to be part of the "Your home of..." marketing campaign, even the likes of GAA and Netball feature this branding.

Warrington Wolfs - 0
Wakefield Trinity - 0
Leigh Centurions - 0
[quote="Budgiezilla":3w2ur1db]Surely it can only be a player from Catalans. Probably the best RL side I have ever witnessed in this season's comp.[/quote:3w2ur1db]: |

| People still watch rugby league on sky? I thought everyone used an F5 box or Kodi?

| The commentary does given an awful impression of the sport, especially the addition of awful, inarticulate pundits Barrie and Terry to almost every SL match. I tend to enjoy games far more when Brian Carney is on commentary rather than McDermott/O'Connor, and I'm pretty sure it's not a coincidence.

| Why does any sport on TV need commentators?

47035_1386433761.gif We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

| I was going to comment, but I'm not sure what we would be talking about.
Shame the figures are down, but do those averages include the GF. Not sure how much of a boost that gives to the end of season figures.
