Would think production costs are quite high compared to showing a sport that is already filmed and produced by someone else and bought in by Sky? Shame though as the more RL coverage the better imo.

Well I suppose you `re an expert on watching awful RL.

Just for information.

There is no such thing as a bad/awful game of Rugby League.

What there is however, is better games than others.

If people think otherwise then Rugby League is not your game.

Spoken like a true ignoramus.

Oh get over yourself FFS. I've watched just about every televised Championship game this season and enjoyed most of them. If they aren't on next season then I for one will miss them.

I hope this means that the new provider shows the Skolars. The only side never to have a home game on Sky!

Don't think Swinton have been shown? Although they are on in a few weeks vs Keighley I think.

The Scorpions have never had a Sky game either

I suppose you're non-RL supporting mates would be turning up in droves if they were treated week in week out to that quality effort served up by Bradford and Les Cats.

I won't do kids an injustice to compare it to an under 9's match it was that bad - it only perked up for the last 20 mins or so.

Get your head out of that bucket of and realise there's a game outside of SL serving up good value.

BTW, the game began in 1895 - not 1996.

What a ridiculous, crass comment - especially as there are a number of part-time Championship outfits against whom your beloved Harlequins would probably struggle to achieve a win.

Some sensitive souls on this thread

And some pilloks as well

I suppose we could wait until TV negotiations are concluded and any deals announced before jumping out of our collective prams ....


on the other hand: nah, this is RLFans, what was I thinking of?

Is there anywhere on this site where you don't come across as being a total prick? I know you're as popular as the clap on the Harlequins board. Well your brand of negaitivity is right at home here on the VT too.

As per usual there is a load of wrong information on the VT.

Nobody 'official' has come out with this so it's probably a load of crap.

The RFL haven't agreed a contract with SKY about covering the Championships yet but they haven't agreed one for the 4 Nations and RLWC either

Time will tell

The Discovery Channel are taking it.

A chance for sports lovers to re-discover proper rugby league

Only rumours at the moment , as you said , time will tell , if we lose it because they don't want to pay for it , fine , not a problem

I never watch championship RL. It really does bring a whole new meaning to the word 'amateur'

If it's not Superleague then as far as I'm concerned there is no place for it on Sky Sports.


I'm sure there will be a half hour round up of all the games somewhere and we can all enjoy watching the dropped passes, knock ons, overweight players, crowds of about 67 people and games finishing with a 46 -52 scoreline.

Yes Bazza.

It's bitty time - go and find your mother.

I'll be quite happy with a highlights show , as for the rest of your post , just the usual bollox

I havent seen anything in the paper regarding this story. I would be wary of Premier sports. Virgin media are and will not carry their service. As PS is Setana under a different name.

If they do get the rights I think the RL will be moved from a Thursday as PS show non league footie on a Thursday.

Floodlights not up to standard at New River which is why FNL is played with a 6:30 kick off.

BAN THIS IDIOT now!!!!!!

At least Dutoni could be argued with.

This persons braincell is going into overload

Save the poor sod now before he dies of ignorance and apathy

Really? Now thats a kick in the knackers! Source?
