| Whilst I certainly think the quality of Sky coverage has dropped in recent times (due mainly to the increase to 14 teams), I'm quite pleased with the start they've chosen. Intrigued to see how Widnes get on and Wakefield is a good start for them. Salford v Cas looks pretty closely competitive for the first match at Salford's new place as well.
I think the contract is that they have to visit every stadium at least twice during the regular season so that is a big factor for Sky to consider, especially in the first half of the season.

So expect 20 minutes extra to deal with knee burns.

Ow well at least you have Mcrea
Challenge Cup 2005, and we don't spend full cap (yet)
at least our coach and owner talk, have a good season rattling around in your new home, you might get 2 seasons before the club is bankrupt.

| You can argue all you want but like in previous years the start to SL will be low key which ever teams are playing. This is due to starting on the first weekend as the 6 nations. The casual viewer will have his head turned by the big International tournament. Forget any big media exposure on such a weekend. No doubt Sky will make sure the Saturday game clashes just to offer an alternative to the BBCs 6 nation’s coverage.

| This thread just highlights the snobbery of a lot of SL fans. Some see their teams success as extension of their ego and use it as excuse to look down on the less successful clubs. These people clearly have personnel issues and they are clearly using sport as relief valve to make themselves (at least temporary) feel better.

Your response to him is missing an initial capital, and a full stop at the end. Classic.
