Quote: Grimmy "Who sponsors and televises this other competition? How do we find time to play the games without being able to count what we played pre-COVID? How do we afford to play it without the Sky TV money from Super League games? In fact would we owe Sky money for not fulfilling our contract to provide Super League games despite being in a position to play? Plus obviously fans would be rightly p*ssed off that they had paid to watch Super League games which we subsequently decide don't count.
You can't just hastily arrange another competition and assume that sponsors, broadcasters and fans would just all fall into line. Especially if the point would be that the other comp wouldn't be as prestigious as Super League.'"
I don't think Sky would care as long as they have some RL to show.
Like I say, I understand the need to play out the season (or some form of season) but whether you see them that way or not the winners of this percentage based, some played some didn't farce will be the SL Champions with the same recognition as we got in 2018
