Choosing the Crusaders v Catalan game over Saints v Warrington is surely outrageous. Surely the only people who’ll be turning in to watch that game are slowly losing the will to live.

I would of watched tonight if the televised game was Warrington v Saints. Instead sky have lost a vital viewing figure as I’ll compensate to listening to Leeds v Hull KR on the radio.

Here’s to hoping that sky won’t make many more mistakes like this.

I agree rather watch St Helens and Warrington than Crusaders and Catalans or Harlequins and Huddersfield.

Warrington will win this one and we don't want people seeing that now do we.

me too.

the only upside of Saints winning run ending tonight would be that the Wire fans wont be able to watch it forever more

Yes those who are slowly losing the will to live - rugby union fans.

On a more serious note I wish Gareth Thomas all the best in rugby league however I still don’t agree that this should be the deciding factor of what game should be on sky.

Warrington v St Helens will be a lot more exciting than whatever Gareth Thomas comes up with tonight. However I’ve got a feeling this bloke is going to be a big hit once he fits in.

The games were picked donkeys ago.
Crusaders will have a huge viewing figure tonight and the crowd at St Helens is also going to be huge, Wire are taking more than I've ever seen

I've seen saints v wire on the tv loads of times, havent ever seen cru v frogs so i for one am happy with the choice. Watching the same teams on tv over and over again bores me, let someone else be on.

What he said.

In any case, I'm off to Hull/Bradford tonight and will watch Crusaders later on having Sky+d it. No need for me to be up in arms!

big games shaping the season should be on TV IMO.

It would be unimaginable for Man Utd -v- Liverpool not to be on TV, and this game is the RL equivalent.

Warrington have already had one of their cup finals televised this season.. no need for another.

How many premiership games are on tv a week though. We get two sl games a week and we get the same teams over and over again. I wouldnt have bothered watching saints v wire tonight but as its something a bit differant i will be tuning in.

Warrington vs Saints games are always entertaining and this fixture would have been best choice. Although it will be interesting to see how Thomas gets on.

Warrington will prove tonight if they are real title contenders or not.

Why not go to the game. Then you won't have to worry about who is or isn't on TV

Boring rugby league bores me as I’m sure its bores many others. Warrington and St Helens matches are anything but boring. The main reason why I didn’t get a season ticket for the Rhinos this season was because throughout last season most of the rugby on show bored me.

Everyone has their own way of enjoying rugby league I suppose and we shouldn’t be criticising each other for the way we all enjoy it differently. However this decision by sky just doesn’t make any sense.



I am terminally unemployed and therefore I don’t have the sufficient funds that you need to see a super league game tonight and not that I would. If I had a season ticket I would have been at Headingley tonight. However as stated above I choose not to have one this year thanks to dull offering last season.

I dont think tonights game will be boring but as you say we all enjoy the game in differant ways and long may that continue.

'terminally unemployed' - that one made me smile, keep your chin up mate you'll find summat.

would rather watch saints-wire, hull-bulls or leeds-rovers all before the one they are showing.

I will watch any live RL on the TV regardless of the teams playing - cos i am a fan of the sport as well a smy own team and it matter not one jot who the participating teams are !!

Ta

It has all the hallmarks of a boring game I’m afraid thanks to what Catalan have represented this season and Crusaders have last season. However I’ll give the game a chance later on tonight and I hope that I’m wrong about my prediction.

About my unemployment my name must be blacklisted

well this has really put a dampner on my night, i ASSUMED that there would be saints v wire, i know the games were planned a while ago, but ive known sky to change schedules at the last minute, they did it at salford last season, now before all the "cos no one watches salford" jokes (we were all thinking it) it has been done. any chance of this tonight?

In my experience, two evenly matched teams will not make for a boring game. It's only when one team comes up with suffocating defense that RL loses its luster.

Great point.

However every game is different no matter how many evenly matched teams play against each other that weekend. It could well be a bore fest between Warrington and Saints whilst the game on TV becomes one of the best of the season so far.
