Dear ITV
If you pick up the NRL rights for any of your channels I will forgive you for dropping rugby league Raw

I'm not totally sure Sky ditched it. I think it was more they didn't think it was worth getting in a bidding battle with Setanta. |

pretty peeved about this. i know they've had a lot on their plate with the membership drive and the commission talks, but surely they could have got their finger out a few months ago and sorted this.
last resort give it to sky or a FTA channel like 3, 4 or 5 for free. its not as if they show anything better at that time of the morning, at the very least it would be good exposure!

The irony of all this is; it would be the best value sports package any network could show.

Working for me - you need to navigate around the NRL section a little, click on "League TV" then "NRL Live".
Good job as some of the less legitimate options didn't appear to be working this morning!

Really sorry to rub it in, but at the moment in the Middle East we have the two major sports channels (Orbit Showtime 1 & 2) showing live Rugby League at the same time. Then tonight we have the Wigan-Hull game which is getting more advertising than I ever saw back in the UK.
The apathy of RL fans in the UK, and their lack of desire to kick up a fuss with their TV providers is not helping the cause.
We've seen increased coverage in the UK newspapers pre-season, no doubt owing to the (sometimes vitriolic) emails that a number of messageboard users organised last season. Can we not try the same with Sky or the BBC...? I know the latter is a though nut to crack due to certain internal 'influences'...
Anyway I'll let you know how the NRL games go, looks like a 52,000 capacity for the broncos tonight!
