A national audience seeing championship games would be embarrassing.

Can’t see any broadcaster wanting to show the champ

Rugby League must be the only sport in this country that has multiple broadcast offers but still ends up with less money.

You do have to wonder what DAZN and TNT sports were offering if Sky won with £20m per season.

Also going by some of the feedback from the RFL it seems like that sky willing to front the production for all games was a major plus for them winning.

From the way I have read the quote it looks like nobody else was willing to front those production costs. That is what I predicted when the DAZN rumors started. I knew they wouldn't be willing to pay for production for every SL game.

I just hope they change the rules regarding the VR before then or we'll have 6 games a weekend ruined by them.

What the game does with these extra recorded games is key, if we can sell lots of streams and sell the rights overseas (some channels just want cheap content as filler) then great, if not we've just taken yet another hit in money.

Personally, I'd be giving Channel 4 the highlights show to complement their coverage of fixtures.

Not a great week for TV games, two one sided scores and Catalans pitch looked like a ploughed field. Cant be helped of course it happens sometimes.

Answer the question. You claimed 6 games a week will be ruined (every single game a week) so I am asking you which games of the hundreds with a VR have been ruined so far?

Oh you can’t. Thought so

Maybe you can answer my questions-
If RU get 5 times more revenue than RL how comes teams have folded and most are struggling.
IF RU is ran better how is this happening.

OH you cant.Thought so icon_lol.gif

I'll answer it if you promise to go away.

Just watch the games that are on TV. Refs don't make decisions without the VR helping out. They don't always get it right even with technology. Then we have the issue with players cheating and staying down so that the VR can watch the reply in slow motion and decide whether to send the player off, usually for things the ref has let go or that wouldn't be given if viewed in normal speed due to the mitigation involved. Having a VR at every game will mean this cheating grows even more in the game. I don't want to see that, maybe you do. Although if you're a RU fan as some say then you will already be aware of how the VR is killing the game.

Now there's my side of the bargain.........................

You dodged the question. For the 3rd time, which games have been ruined so far? Specifics please. Do you also admit your claim of every single game in a weekend will be ruined by the VR was absolutely stupid?

“At last, a real, Tory budget,” Daily Mail 24/9/22 "It may be that the honourable gentleman doesn't like mixing with his own side … but we on this side have a more convivial, fraternal spirit." Jacob Rees-Mogg 21/10/21 A member of the Guardian-reading, tofu-eating wokerati.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_755.jpg



I have not seen a single game ruined by the VR. I've disagreed with some decisions but 90% of those could have gone either way. People just seem to think it's cool these days to outdo each other with faux outrage. Save it for the government.
