I was expecting to see a certain YouTube video

Poor choice of game to show, I know its a 'derby' but Wakefield have packed up and given up until next season and Cas look knackered.

Wigan and Bradford on Friday night will be gripping viewing also

Friday, 19 August 2011
Engage Super League
Salford v Huddersfield, 20:00
Wigan v Bradford, 20:00

Saturday, 20 August 2011
Engage Super League
Harlequins v Leeds, 15:00
Wakefield v Castleford, 17:05
Catalan Dragons v Warrington, 17:30

Sunday, 21 August 2011
Engage Super League
Crusaders v Hull, 15:00
Hull K R v St Helens, 15:00

hardly the best round of the competition, in all fairness.

I dunno - watching Wigan run up a cricket score might be entertaining

Salford v Huddersfield will be better surely, even moving KR vs Saints to Saturday would hardly make a huge difference to the huge travelling Saints army.

why would Salford v Hudds or KR v Saints be any better than the planned games?

Lets face it Salford/Hudds will be more competive than Wig/Brad and both KR/Saints have things to play for so should be more comptitive than Wakey (given up)/Cas (threw everyting into the semi and are shot)

I wouldnt have minded seeing the Catalans v Wire game

I would have liked to have seen that game...I expect a response from Cats after Friday

Aren't there logistical problems with broadcasting Catalans games live? I'd imagine the extended highlights would be broadcast late on Saturday night either way.

not so much logistical as a French TV company owns the rights (iirc)?

Nope.

The current tv deal includes Catalan games.

I don't really know much about it, but Sky own the broadcasting rights for Super League, and a French station for Catalans, but both can show a Catalans game at the same time (I think).

I don't have any number but it seems that Catalans are hardly ever on at home, but they definitely have been this year, Leeds I think?

So what do people actually reckon the chances are of this fixture being moved for TV...

Is now potentially a battle for 7th and whether Cas drop out of the 8.....

When does the decision have to be made by, IIRC it can be as late as 1 week in advance can it not??

Sky are supposed to announce round 27 games by 22/08

Reckon it will be switched for sky,possibly sunday night k/o

maybe Hutchie is right then

Don't know whether thats true or not but all Cats' home games are shown live on French TV.
