I'd like to congratulate Mr Eve on an ability to loathe what he professes to take an interest in. A complete tool.

There's never been more rugby league on Sky and there is no useful comparison. We haven't got to the business end of the season yet and the biggest indicator isn't this years drop but the one between 2013 and 2014. This year is likely to catch up with last year. No, the big drop is the previous year, so what factor could there have been? Perhaps BT Sport coming along?

Mr Eve, if you are going to attempt to somehow vent your spleen, for reasons best known only to yourself, think it through. For me, the sport will lose nothing by being one spectator down, so with pleasure, goodbye.

That and the fact he only seems to post late night / early morning NZ time.

In fact it's not just odd, it's a bit sad too that someone has to go to those lengths to troll a message board on the other side of the world.

You mean i type with my fingers and use smileys like millions of other people on the internet? That probably is odd in your world

You and Mr Churchill seem to stick up for each other alot including this thread, it's almost as if you are the same person

Please stop it, you're just embarrassing yourself.

One of you is more than enough.

No, i'm embarrassing you Mr Churchill/Loonier81

well this hasn't gone off topic ( as usual) has it?

i noticed earlier that next week there is only 1 scheduled live game on sky which is wigan v leeds but no game on the friday, as it is, there is only 1 game on the friday , saints v huddersfield, have i missed something? why is the friday night game not on tv?

started watching the wakey-hull game online, ..is it my volume settings or do the group of hull fans who i assume are under the commentary position, just sound like drunks chanting and singing in the kebab shop after a night on the town

I am sure SKY know what they are doing, but it does seem strange to pay millions for access to a sport that delivers decent eyeballs and yet they seem content to stick it on at random times on random stations.

The reduction is entirely due to the absence of Bradford Bulls

You know what? That's not halff as daft a concept as it seems.....just you got the team wrong.

According to the RFL [urlhttp://www.therfl.co.uk/the-rfl/about_the_rfl[/url

.........London not on the Box and TV figures are down. Coincidence?

Average viewing figure has edged down to 113k after latest BARB figures are included...

Thu 18 Jun - 121k
Fri 19 Jun - 90k
Sat 20 Jun - 95k

All above broadcast on Sky Sports 1 too.

Oh dear.....

Oh No!

well, i suppose some may read that and be heading straight for the razor blades. however, others may be on their way to Headingley for a few drinks in the sun, a near as damn it capacity crowd, and with a top match between the top 2 to look forward to.
