Quote: IR80 "serious question, where is the value for any broadcaster in showing the lower leagues?'"

If I'd asked you of the value of showing a few blokes throwing arrows at a dartboard, watched by a load of pi55ed up fans a decade ago, you'd have said NOWT.
RL at what we consider 2nd tier level would/could be a nice little "filler" that could pick up a niche audience, sick of the razzamatazz of pro sports. I'd reckon a "joint" deal, with the clubs swapping a fee in year one in exchange for a broadcaster to produce and show games would be a fair way to test the waters.....




.....although Toronto paid to produce their own last year, gave them to sky and then sky wasn't happy to pay for them this year, so maybe not.

A Saturday afternoon game on FTA TV would be a start.

Another thing would be the TV coverage.

Can we get some new graphics from Sky. They have used those robot men for years now and its time for something new.

Also please no more referees in the commentary box!!!

Get rid of Pinky and Perky. No idea what those two earn but whatever it is it's too much.

Stuart Cummings has left SKY. Thank God.

Unfortunately we still have Terry O'Connor, Barrie McDermott, Phil Clarke, Bill Arthur and Ben Proe.

I like William Arthur. He gets bad reviews on here, but he is much loved in other quarters. He is always fair and respectful towards the French players, be they playing for Catalans, Wigan or St Helens. I wish William Arthur a happy and healthy 2020.

The whole thing was much better when there was just 2 of them in the commentary box. Let’s hope they go back to that.
