General good news increasing exposure for the Championship. Doesn't say if it is worth anything for the clubs. Monday night away at Whitehaven might be tough for our part-time boys. Premier sports shows French Top 14 and the Welsh/Scottish/Irish/Italian/South African RU competition so might have some expousre to general rugby lovers. NetgemTV offering might be a good deal if you want to watch in HD and don't have Sky and would like some more channels thrown in. The general internet stream from Premier Sports can be a bit flaky.

Thinking that Season 2022, the leagues are being split into two leagues of ten.
Do Sky do top league and Premier do the second league. If so the Super League teams that get dumped into Second league are in for a shock, when the monies get handed out.

I think the earliest for two leagues is 2023, but the way the RFL works there asking a lot!

They are probably complaining because there is not the money to spend on tis type of travel and accommodation at least twice a year for teams or fans and it could be 4 times if your team has cup games in France. Before you say how many times France come to England just remember they CHOSE to play in the English league.

Latest problem, clubs not wanting Toulouse in Challenge Cup lol

And the English league has benefitted from having them. Not really any different from us travelling the highways & byways of these sceptre Isles for the last 40 years, where the great & the good up north only have a short drive to any number of grounds in comparison.

If they don't want to travel to France they are welcome to take a 24-0 defeat, 2 points deduction & fine. That might concentrate the mind.
