I remember that Sky showed some Middle 8s last year.

If Sky does show the Middle 8s then will it be one each week or just random?

Many of these matches will be great entertainment.

Widnes v London, 9th August @ 7:45pm on Sky
Leeds v Toulouse, 11th August @ 3:15pm on Sky

Shame that the viewing public won't be able to see the Toronto dream start to crumble at the Shay.

Thanks for that. They will be interesting games. Two in one week is excellent. I just wonder whether Sky will continue that number of Middle 8s per week, because in the opinion of a lot of people the Middle 8s is going to be more interesting than the Super 8s.

Because Sky has rights to the Championship there is no reason for Sky not to show a couple of Middle 8s each week. But will they?

Announced so far:

Week1: 2 games (Wid v Lon, Lee v Tou)
Week2: 2 games (Sal v Wid, Tor v HKR)
Week3: 2 games (Lee v HKR, Tor v Lon)
Week4: 1 game (Sal v Tor)

Won’t be surprised if:
Week 4: 1 game added (Tou v Wid).
Week 5: 2 games (HKR v Fax, Tor v Tou)
Week 6: 3 games (Fax v Lee, Tou v HKR, Tor v Wid)
Week 7: 2 games (Wid v HKR, Tou v Sal)

The Super 8 Qualifiers have more to play for than the Super 8. With Warrington six points clear of Huddersfield, it could be over in a few weeks.
