I currently pay £7.99 for Premier Sports, they provide excellent coverage of the NRL , so no reason why they would n`t provide the same coverage of the Championships if they got it.

Will be a completely different kettle of fish, as I would imagine they use Channel 9's coverage for the NRL games rather than doing any of the production themselves (think the broadcasting trucks outside the stadium for Sky games etc).

Seems you don't need to be a Sky customer either - all you need is the sky box and dish and they will send you a card. For me (who thinks Sky is a waste of money) this is perfect, even if for just NRL but Championship games would be a excellent bonus. A big IF, but if they did get the games I hope they have 8pm KO instead of 7:30pm.

premier sports is available on freeview and I think satview as well with a subscription of course, as for espn they do not produce anything its ch 9 broadcast

=#FF0000IF Sky are going to drop the Championship from their schedule - and I don't think anything concrete has been published on here to prove that - you can bet your bottom dollar that they will still retain the rights to broadcast Championship matches, and deprive anyone else of having the opportunity!

...and we mustn't forget to thank Messrs Lewis and Wood for the frugal way they run our game, not forgetting the best travel deals for all the Championship sides to travel to and from France for a now proven waste of time.
