With all the sh it thats on sky sports u get definitely get 4 or 5 matches on every week. It would definitely be possible to 2 or possibly even 3 matches on saturday.

The schedule could be:

8pm Friday
2pm Saturday
4pm saturday
6pm saturday
6pm sunday

Quote: Bethman "I may be wrong but I'm not sure there is the demand to see 7 super league fixtures on tv every week in the UK. There is the opportunity to see 5 live games a week on TV, with 2 superleague, 2 nrl and 1 championship fixture being broadcast most weeks. '"


It was 4 or 5 NRL games per weekend for most of last season.

I assume the original poster is an Aussie or lives there? there is oportunities for showing more games, I actualy watch more NRL as I have the choice of five games a week & I will be getting two national league games as well now with premiere sports plus SKY's superleague coverage. I think the will to show the games is not there as I doubt it would attract advertisers to pay for the extra staff needed to cover the games. You only have to look at the choice of coverage that SKY gives union for a similar anual payment! the difference is that they can sell advertising space for union, they dont have the same demographic spread with league (though we do have bigger viewing numbers I am told? just the wrong sort of people for the advertising folk down in London).

Australia is just different.

Even our biggest sport here, football only has on average 2 live games per week in the Premier League and that has 20 teams.

You just wouldn't get sport taking main slots at a weekend on a regular basis on the main channels like you do in Oz.

Plus where would I find time for master chef (won by an aussie) & stricktley come dancing, The other thing is things actually happen in the UK & we need time to watch the news as well.

More games the better for me. I can't afford Premier Sports so I only get two games a week. I'd rather watch SL anyway personally. Although the NRL is usually a better quality game, you don't really get much atmosphere in Aus to get into the emotion of the game, as well as the fact that SL games have a direct influence on my team's progress in the season.

Premier Sports promise six NRL games a week next year, with the Championship match on top.

As for more Super League games? No! Attendances would suffer more if they added more tv games.

Quote: Exeter Rhino "....Sky's insistence of putting games on that don't turn out to be interesting (i.e. mid-bottom of the table bore-fests or blow-outs when one of the top sides is mis-matched) .....'"


I assume that you must be a very rich man then with this amazing ability to know how games will turn out before they are played?

Maybe you could use this great insight to help Sky plan their schedule.

That's 5 out of 10 games, SL has 2 out of 7. Given the respective sizes of the two comps, I'd say its not unreasonable coverage.

An increase to 3 is the only realistic possibility, and IMO is all that's necessary or desirable.

T.R.Y. why spell it?:



I agree, those times are bang on. Never understood why there isnt a game on sunday on Sky, be lovely to go watch my local team then hit the club bar to watch a Sky game. Would make the club a bit more revenue too.

IF you want RL entertainment value then for £35 for the year you can see a full season of 80 minute games.

Hull KR TV. Amazing value.
