I can’t believe that Sky are not broadcasting the Hull derby. Will be largest crowd of any SL game so far this year, amazing atmosphere and a great advert for Rugby League in general. Instead it’s Wigan vs Warrington. I really think their match selections in general this year are poor. Classic example was this past Friday gone. Why not choose best match at start of the week. They seem to be able to pick the worst two games of round each and every weekend. www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12944,00.html

The prospect of 4000 chavs dressed in red and white in 3d was too much for them to handle

shocking...its not like its been overlooked to show 1st v 2nd is i........oh hold on

double post

Spot on. The derbies are usually mediocre quality and only really matter as key fixtures if you're from the city. If I were a Huddersfield or Leeds fan, say, I'd rather see the other game.

As much as I love the derbies, you can't really criticise sky for showing 1st vs 2nd.

picked the best match if u ask me

who wants to see kr vs fc outside the ground

me, dave k and old faithful?

could replace friday fight night couldnt it

On the concrete surrounds? Should be a cracker.

Sat 17 TBC v TBC (5.00pm)

so the thread may not be correct

Sky have to decide by the 28th june which game they will show on the 17th july. I'd say it'll probably be the derby.

Sunday
Sunday, 18 July 2010
Engage Super League
Bradford v Salford, 15:00
Castleford v Wakefield, 15:30
St Helens v Harlequins, 15:00


I'll Go For Castleford Tiger's V Wakefield For The Sky Game

Correct decision if true.

Plenty of our derbies are shown on TV, they can't show every one and its 1st vs 2nd.

Although at times there match picking has left a little to be desired this year.

I can't imagine why showing a game with a full house and terrific atmosphere would appeal to anyone watching on sky, I mean give me Harlequins vs Crusaders in front of an alleged 2300 anyday!!!

Too fooking right, I haven't missed watching a derby game since they got in SL, either at the gound or on TV, the end sky game for thet weekend wont be picked until the 28th June, so dont be suprised to see it moved to sat or Sun for Sky.

I think it is the 2nd best game of that weekend.

Bloody better do it havent seen a live Hull game for ages and have just found 2 legal sites to show the games.

Not fussed if it is on Sky or not and the logical choice would be 1st vs 2nd. Shame for those abroad if it isn't on though.

Yeah but they aren't proper fans so don't deserve it.

I've no sympathy for them. They chose to live in Thailand or Oz!!

Tories in power I had to get out.

Also Hull doing much better now I dont go to games anymore.

I know exactly how they feel missing the games so i still have sympathy for them even if they are in much better places

Im gutted it wont be shown on Sky. I can understand the top 2 game being shown instead. However, I wonder if Sky would have shelved a Saints v Wigan 'derby' in favour of a top two clash? (obviously if the said teams were not the top two teams at the time)

Best decision....there are only so many time KR can be shown on sky getting owned
