You could well be right!!!

People see/read/hear things and pass them on or comment.

What's that all about?



As another piece of conspiricy, and to keep the Daily Wail types happy, have you noticed that RL ALWAYS follows Union on the Sky ticker at the bottom of the screen and that when RL gets to the front or nearly they go to an ad break.

They seem to do things in alphabetical order but U before L!!!!

Right.

Because RL is clearly more important than the US Masters. Or Formula 1. Or the Ashes.

Seriously, take your tinfoil hat off and give your head a shake. The SL regular season is not an event in the same way that these are. The only one I might query is European Rugby, given that some of these games will be the likes of Glasgow vs some obscure French side in front of 6,000 people. But even then, the Heineken (or whatever it is these days) Cup final is every bit as big an event as say the SL Grand Final for example.

I havent watched SSN for a few years now,does that still happen?

Don't know, the presenters just seem to spend their time nowadays reading out tweets and hashtags from famous sports people.

It always felt like it was on a loop just going round & round.
A pointless channel really.

Reckon Sky Sports News is important, it's often on in pubs and a lot seem to watch it, though it hasn't been on freeview for years. I've never noticed that things are usually in alphabetical order on there.

Perhaps we should be asking the RL press office, just how hard are they working, and just how many clubs in RL have a full-time Press Officer, pumping out stories, the reality is we seem to have a mix of lazy and incompetent people. Newspapers and News Channels are DESPERATE to fill up column inches and spare air-time with some actual NEWS.

OK, I do get that the BBC won't publish/broadcast, but most of the others WILL, the reality is we are S**t at getting the stories, pictures and VT out there. Years ago as a Student (27 to be precise), I worked for Hayter's (the sports news agency) based just off Fleet Street.

Football Clubs, Cricket Clubs, Boxing Trainers/Promoters used to inundate the offices with STORIES, Union Clubs too, but in the five months I worked there I cannot remember a single call, fax (or even Xerox as we had back then) from a Rugby League Club, NOT A SINGLE ONE!

RL clubs don't seem to take Marketing seriously at all and yet it's a major part in growing the sport. Infuriating to witness!

Right, so you agree with Sky that RL doesn't matter and isn't an important or must-see sport. But 'boxing' is.

Boxing is a sport that Sky can sell at £16+ per event on PPV (Froch v Groves generated £15.2m in PPV sales). Of course it's more important to Sky than Super League.

It also generates much more betting revenue that RL, something that a company like SKYBet might be interested in.

Honestly with comments like that you would think that "eyes on the box" was far more important to SKY then bums on seats, which we all know is far far more important to them.

Honestly some people

As far as I'm aware the BBC highlights are broadcast nationally on BBC2 around 1:30pm on a Tuesday, they moved the slot from silly hours of Monday morning as of the start of 2014 season.

What's the full run down on the CC not being shown free to air, is it just the rounds that are being removed from the BBC schedule?

The idiots in charge just can't seem to understand the long term damage they are doing to the sport, it's enough to make you weep..
