'Thus I am tormented by my curiosity and humbled by my ignorance.' from History of an Old Bramin, The New York Mirror (A Weekly Journal Devoted to Literature and the Fine Arts), February 16th 1833.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_33809.png

Quote: number 6 "sky do need to up their game if they want a new deal, stale old commentators/presenters who show bias to their ex clubs, and talk our game down at times like we are still in the 70s/80s.

worst of all for me, you dont even get to watch a full match replay, 10 minute highlight package as catch up, where as a football game that is on a friday evening will get replayed around 3 or 4 times over the weekend in full, and thats not even Premiership games too!'"


Genuine question, as I appreciate there’s a wide array of technology and ways of accessing content that I mightn’t be aware of… can you not record games you want to watch back?

Or do you mean for a casual viewer who might be looking for something to watch at random o’clock?

Both! How often do you see fans asking for copies of games if their sky box has failed to record the game, sure we have all suffered that once, or just forgotten to set record on the planner

I'd like an option of just watching the game on sky without any commentary at all, I don't need commentators telling me whats going on, when I'm at the game I can work it out for myself.

No I mean without commentary but still with crowd noise / ref commentary etc, just without the sky lot jabbering on about all the previous junior clubs this and that player has played for

"rugby league itk" on twitter reporting that a deal is close with it staying on sky sports but also channel 4 and DAZN getting 20+ games per season, could be good if true! Would make people consider whether sky is worth continuing with though, DAZN is £100 a year and if you get 20 games there and 20 games on channel 4, might not need sky too

Baffles me how anybody still takes that twitter account seriously, always see it getting screenshotted and posted into facebook groups aswell.

Have they ever been right or "in the know" about anything? I'm yet to see it if so.

Matt Shaw now reporting that TNT are interested in taking the rights for superleague, same article says that sky offering a similar amount as cirrnelty which is disappointing after their cut from the last TV deal!

Good to have a bit of a bidding war.

Same money is an insult from SKY given how high inflation is, bet their subscription fees aren't the same price as years ago...

get the feeling Sky seem to think the game needs them more than we need them! hopefully the TNT (bt sports) deal is a much improved offer than what sly sports are offering!

I can see both sides, the game has repeatedly promised a new structure or expansion and failed the deliver I bet they are tired of hearing SL presentations.

Also not so sure broadcasters will be that keen on no relegation as it creates a talking point, Cas-Wakefield in a few weeks will be one of the most eagerly awaited fixtures of the season for example.

When nobody else has bothered to bid for X amount of years, it's sort of true.
