Keep trying, Keep smiling, Others may think they are better but only you know the truth.....:34965.gif



Quick question - do you get all four (five with News) sky sports channels with the sports package?

Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "Whilst I admire your rebellious spirit, its worth remembering that if we all took this approach, Rugby League, in its present guise, would be dead within a year.

I very much doubt that Sky would pump their millions into our sport if we were all sticking two fingers up at their product, and choosing to steal it instead.'"


In what way would RL in it's present guise be dead within a year?
You mean we would have to go back to sunday games? A league where finishing champions actually meant something? Promotion and relegation? How awful does that sound?

We'd also have an inferior product as any half decent players would be leaving to head to NRL, or rugby union because most RL clubs would be bancrupt.

Warrington RLFC: The Wire, NOT Warrington Wolves FORZA WIRE:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_46584.jpg

Exactly. Rugby League will never be dead, but I wish Sky Sports was. The only "product" they've improved in twenty years is darts in my opinion.

Correct......Clubs would be shutting down, the Halliwell Jones Stadium (and other modern stadia) would be closed up within 3 years as clubs wouldn't be able to afford to run them.

You'd be watching the sport back on Bennetts Rec.....Rugby League as a serious sport would be dead - Rugby Union would be the only Rugby code on TV.

So you think it would only be Rugby league fans that would watch sports on the internet, sky would suss this and remove it from their schedule but keep union on as their fans wouldn't do such a thing?
