It's just prolonging the agony. We all know how this will end. Endgame will happen after the bulls fulfill their fixtures.

Theres still some hope with this other bid apart from abc. But i'm not sure they'll have the financial clout once they go over the numbers fully.

So the bulls will be able to complete their fixtures, reducing the impact on the rest of the competition and then will liquidate at seasons end when all options have been exhausted. Most likely then a team from the championship will be admitted in their place.

The bulls will then need to 'somejow' start up again and go into the championship.

For better or worse, we've moved our elite competition to Sky Sports. To say that we have took it away from the masses, however, is a little hysterical. People with more than a passing interest in sport nowadays will have a subscription to Sky Sports. If they still choose not to watch RL, then that's down to their indifference, not the act of "selling our soul".

And before people start crying poverty, and saying they can't afford to watch the rugby anymore; if you really can't afford the fifty quid or so a month to watch what you claim is a sport you are passionate about, then watching rugby is probably the least of your problems.

or go the pub

Sounds like a plan. Mine's a pint!

You are wrong.

AFAIK the Championship clubs only received SKY money during one of the seasons when SKY broadcast their games. This was not a share of the SL cash.
