Indeed, but as they say too much of a certain thing makes you go blind.

From what I gather, started with full team for 20 mins, then free for all with interchanges. Even academy players.

Casforum.co.uk
I went on there earlier to see what they were saying about this weekends game. The answer was, not much. But I did see that comment from him with no replies.

But I guess the attention he gets from posts like this will have his mother emptying and washing his socks at very regular intervals.[/quote:15s8gesm]
Don't worry Pete, it's been dealt with appropriately.

I’ve lost track.
I thought D-Day was a week last Tuesday; then it became Salford were confident of having a takeover deal done last weekend.
I think today is important as it’s pay day. I think if the players don’t get paid, then that can become a breach on their contracts and allow players to freely seek other employment.
I’m sure others may know the exact consequences on not paying players on time.

A total waste of a sponsorship on Specsavers part.
Rovers fans can spot an opposition forward pass from 400 yards away.

| I see Derek has been making comments that the game should leave SKY as the TV deal isn't big enough. His view is if the average TV audience all bought SL+ the game would get more money...which could be true but big problem there is SKY are filming and producing the games (and I dread to think what it would be like if the RFL were in charge, probably film on Sharp camcorder from the 90s )
That would be a big gamble for the game, it's not certain that causal viewers would buy the app and the game has a lot of older fans who aren't streamers.
Also when SKY don't show a sport it's dead to them, no mentions on Sports News and we'd lose coverage that way.

I have no idea what it costs to cover a game live with an outside broadcast but it must be significant for a main game you would think, plus the initial capital outlay. Who would pay for all of that? There must be a fair few people employed full time doing it at SKY

You'll need more than Specsavers to be able to see anything in your trophy cabinet.

I think there is a conversation to be had about it , We definitely need to start hearing something from IMG as we just hear nothing from them all .
I guess deggsys figures are a bit misleading with his £36m from an app . I doubt we'd get anywhere near that figure nor the number of subscribers we'd need to improve the money coming into the game .

| 10k tickets sold for the Wigan game. Decent start but the challenge is of course to lure the 1k-1.5k people who have used the ticket offer to come regularly.
I also suspect a good performance at Catalan would get the turnstiles clicking. I don't blame some for waiting and seeing if we have turned a corner.

| So our resident expert's prediction that the derby would be the only five figure attendance of the season falls at the first hurdle.
Hopefully 12k+ there for the Wigan game.

It will get up to 14-15k with those pre sales I would have thought. Barely any Wigan fans will have bought tickets yet.
A heavy defeat to Catalans wouldn't help with that obviously - very tough start for Hull.

I'd say it's only a medium difficulty start, Catalans have several new arrivals to bed in and didn't set the league alight last year either. And some British style cold weather might help us a bit too.

| It's a decent offer to see us take on the best team in the league. Just bought a couple of extra tickets for a fiver each.
As Ullfc alluded too, hopefully a promising performance even if we don't win will ensure some of the newbies or fans who have stayed away in recent seasons will want to come again.
