Please Allow Me to Introduce Myself I'm a Man of Wealth and Taste Oh, and the back to back, having a laugh, RL Fans Predictions League Champion:1113.jpg



I'm assuming that list above is home games? If so, the Leeds one highlighted in bold needs to be taken off, as that was the Magic Weekend game at Murrayfield, rather than a game in the South of France.

That was a Magic Game as well.

All Catalans league home games have been Saturday Nights except the Easter ones. Like I said in another thread the last tv contract was signed before Catalans existed so they didn't have to go there. The new contract this year includes them so I think they have to go there twice.

When they showed Wigan on Easter Monday we knew that the match was on sky and that it couldn't move but Sky controlled the kick off time rather than French tv and announced it about a month and half in advance. Luckily for us that day 5:20pm wasn't too much of a shift.

I still don't get why Sky don't show the Warrington game in Barcelona instead of this. They are showing Quins v Leeds that night so they wouldn't have to move the date of it.

Patronising response received by a Quins fan

after giving the first 14 weeks of the season, we then work on a four week notice period until the final few weeks.

This is an accurate reflection of what happens in most sports, is far more than in some, and a great deal more than in the NRL.

Its a no win situation. Without this we cannot follow form, and quite rightly we get complaints from fans ( including Quins ) that we don’t see enough of them in the early season when they are playing well. Castleford being a classic case this season.

We are coming to Quins for the Leeds game on the 20th by the way. Please get in touch with me and come over to meet Eddie and Stevo.

Form? we are 6 points clear of them and will be 8 ahead by next Monday. How is a team in 11th v a team in 5th indicative of form?

Doesn't make sense at all.

Firstly if you go onto NRL.com you'll notice the NRL fixtures are all arranged up to the weekend of 31/1/2 August. Sky's fixtures are only announced publically far as I can see until the end of this month (bar that Quins game in France).

Second response I'd make is why pick a game in France to show on a weekend where they don't have a Saturday slot for that weekend??

For example

This Saturday Catalans Dragons v Leeds Rhinos (Cas v Wire 5:45)
Sat 20 June Catalans v Warrington (Quins v Leeds 6:00)
Sat 4 July Catalans v Hull KR (Match TBC 5:00)

Theirs three excellent games to pick from in my opinion with what they are showing instead in brackets.

Third is how can fans be expected to wait so long before booking flights? They sell out easy in the summer.

Anyway for me I don't totally blame Sky. I blame the RFL for signing a deal which doesn't stipulate Catalans broadcasts have to be Saturday. It's them that needs to sort I think.

While there is one way serious RL fans can 'kick-back' at SkySports 'arragonce' and that is by canceling their SkySports pack from after the Grand Final till the start of the following season.

It will save about £75-£80 and if even say 5000 subs cancel and let SkySport know why they might think twice in future. No operation ever wants to lose £400K for the sort of silly 'screw-up' like 'date change'.

Remember tou have to give one months 'advance notice' of your wish to drop the Skysport 'pack' but it needs only 7/10 days to get it back and you can select the right day. However, check you bill and keep copies of your 'instruction' to ensure they do not 'cheat'!!
