Quote: Boyne "I'm also afraid that 'The Powers That Be' at Sky may be losing interest. The reason for suggesting this is that the coverage provided appears to be slowly diminishing with the passing of each year. Yes, I know we've all just seen 7 matches in 2 days, but, as I remember, in no particular order, we've also lost -
1) The Northern Rail Cup
2) The Oxford/Cambridge Varsity match
3) The Featherstone Rovers show (aka Championship matches) on a Thursday
4) The moving of a SL match to Mondays so it can compete head to head with Emmerdale, BGT and Coronation Street. Should be a close call...
5) Losing coverage of the World Cup to the BBC
Now, I may have missed something or my information may be at least partially lacking/incorrect, but are the above 5 points indicative of a rosy future?'"
You can add losing the NRL and State of Origin to that list.
