Why not offer him out for a fight? That’s your style

not 100% sure about the Grammar there Stephanie. Best check with your daughters eh

Remember that this thread is about wishes, not probabilities.

My wish list would undoubtedly be a huge boost for the game within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and especially internationally.

Is it really, I'm not sure how you come to that conclusion, isn't that a St Helens thing brawling in the streets over whippets and the like.

I’m just going off what people wrote on here about you trying to start fights at Wakefield games. Ergo, it’s your style

My 3: (unlikely as no. 1 may seem)

1) England beat Australia at least once
2) Leigh Centurions continue to be a major force in the championship.
3) Championship & League 1 clubs negotiate their own TV deal for the 2021 season, as Sky own the rights, but hardly show any championship games, and none from League 1.

Agree with your number 3 it would be good if channel 4 or bbc picked them up to show games

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.

Darts isn't comparable to RL, Darts is played in pubs and homes (garages) up and down the UK, there is more TV coverage of fishing and golf than RL, two "sports" that have never interested me but have massive participation and following. RL is not popular other than with those of us brought up with it. IF Hull had had a decent football team when I was growing up I would never have been an FC supporter, but RL was the dominant sport, it was only when I moved to Liverpool I got interested in Football, I never thought I'd willingly wear red, but I have Hull FC and Liverpool FC running in my blood now. RL simply isn't commercial, the BBC would rather show athletics, and given audience figures, they are right to do so.

I wish RL had a broader audience, but fact is, it doesn't.

Cant really argue with that to be honest.

An even more serious question, where is the value for any broadcaster in showing SL?

I would not be surprised if this has recently been mentioned in Sky towers.
