It’s coverage is due a revamp for sure but without the money it puts in even at a reduced rate the game would be bankrupt within weeks. The money has reduced because less people are watching and that also has included the Channel 4 coverage this year. Their figures are also well down on last year. The reason for the reduction is the quality of product we are producing, last night game being the perfect example.

No it isn’t its down to people watching coverage on dodgy sticks which isn’t taken into account when adding viewing figures

Will skew IMG points now for tv coverage with no championship games being on tv

Yes but dont forget mr carter said it was the best time to be relegated.
He knows his stuff

It’s one of a number of manipulations possible under IMG criteria, just look at catchment area rules, how many points do we Lose, due to being grouped with CAS and FEV?

Channel 4 is far better coverage and although not having the "experience" of the Sky team, you can at least understand what they're saying.

It's felt from the beginning that there were ways to manipulate the scores.

It’s now becoming more obvious in the short time since it was announced, particularly as the scoring I believe will be done by the RFL. When the provisional scores to be announced shortly, that’s when the real arguments will start, so much for the family game.

Now now Wrencat your not having a pop at a lad with a speech impediment are you . You’ll be getting your collar felt by the politically correct on here ,you should know better than to mock the afflicted

I take it as the drivel they speak weekly.

Dodgy sticks are definitely contributing to skys thinking moving forward. Sticks are a much bigger problem than people think..and sky can’t control it.
But the emergence of women’s soccer, some other minor sports, and the greedy premier league means sky are looking to put rugby league on the back burner.
I can’t help but think that the reason for showing every game on sky is to see how that goes ( because it certainly won’t benefit clubs regarding away support) if they think the numbers are there they might try to run an app where you pay a subscription fee for the season to watch what you want.
The problem they will have is how to stop the dodgy stick outfits accessing their content…
I believe we have the product… it’s up to IMG to promote it.
I also believe that we need to do something with the people at the top of the RFL as their running of the sport for the past 30 years has been nothing short of a shambles..

As in Leeds ,St ,Wigan ,Hull, Huddersfield,

Sorry
Not sure what you mean?
