Just watching (well kind of) Leeds v Hull, and during h/t Eddie Hemmings advertised our game on Sunday, but his main comment was "both clubs hoping to 'tick a box' for Sooper League license applications for [size2015[/size YOU HAD TO GO AND SPOIL IT, DIDN'T YA. TYPICAL SKY/RFL ROBOT.
2015, I'll be over 50 years old then !!!!!!!!!

sod it, just a final, where us 'flat cappers' will have a great day out, box ticking or not.
leeds v hull awful game, nodded off twice

Leeds vs Hull is like a classic game of chess. Boring as hell.

Truly awful game.

2015 ? I would rather not say how old I'll be then.

Why do Fax need to tick a box for 2015 thought they still had a chance this time?

Think about it Glow... lol

Maybe eddies give the game away.

Oooh, a couple got through.

Sorry

littlerich, wash yer mouth out !!

I had, the rolling eyes was a bit of a clue.

But surely the whole point isn't to just focus constantly on getting into SL , ' Vibrant worth winning in their own right competitions is what it's all about '

Maybe the RFL should try convincing SKY before they try to convince us

Indeed - maybe a secondary rights agreement to show the final again (or at least a highlights show) on a 'terrestrial' channel (or any of the 'freeview' channels) might convince the wider general public that the RFL is interested in the game outside S.D.L. ??

In the early days of Channel 5 didn't they show a repeat of the GF? They deffo did it at least once (2001 - Widnes v Oldham)....and there was Rugby League Raw as well.

If it's true what we are hearing - that there will be no Championship/Ch1 coverage on SKY from next season, is it not time to look into gaining exposure for the sport outside S.D.L. through a different broadcaster?? And if the RFL aren't prepared to do it for us, is the time not ripe to look at forming a new APC style body to sell the sport at this level?

You can bet your bottom dollar that SKY will retain the rights to the finals and possibly the play offs of both , therefore making the rest of the TV coverage almost worthless , either way personally TV coverage isn't what we need , fans through the turnstiles is what Championship clubs need , that should be the main focus , because strangely enough , we are ' a local sport for local people ' and that is where we will grow our businesses
