The growth rate of viewing figures for Women’s Football has turned heads at sky headquarters, so much so that Rugby League looks set to be dropped altogether by Skysports to make room for more screen time for live women’s games.
Serious discussions are underway at RFL headquarters to work out who or what could fill the financial void Rugby League would find itself in.

Don’t see why it should happen, they are losing more and more of the premier league to streaming sites so would say they filling those gaps with the womens footy.

A wind up, surely.
Why on earth would Sky drop RL, when they have "Main Event" (even though RL is rarely on it), "Action", "Arena" and "Mix" as non dedicated sport channels, all of which run for 24 hours. What on earth are they going to fill their air time with?

There's bound to be a "growth" of viewing figures for women's football, as there was precious little of it on Sky, before.

Where's your evidence of "serious discussions at RFL HQ", or have you had one to many Christmas eggnogs?

Quote: lefty goldblatt "As Prof. Brian Cox would say.... "in a hundred million years"
He wouldn't just stand outside the HJS, or on Bevan Island beneath the posts from Wilderspool, to say his piece. A shed full of license payers cash would have to fund an unnecessary trip to Hawaii, Chile, South Africa Arizona or even all of them, just so he has a jolly while making a point or two. Couple that with I find him as about as interesting as John Wells to listen to, that's an extremely nauseous thought.

"Just imagine...... you're just a grain of sand on a beach that's a 100 miles long.....that's your position in the cosmos. I speak in a hushed voice that gives me extra gravitas. I could tell you that the sun is made of semolina, and you'd believe me. Tyrone Roberts gave his all to Warrington RL.....see? You believe me, don't you".
