I have to defend Sky a bit here.

Yes, there's lots to complain about, BUT and it's a big BUT, it means I can watch rugby league week in week out.
OK for you guys and guyesses living in the north, but I've got a 2 hour + journey for every match.

I now have the luxury of seeing matches on a number of broadcasters and - given the costs involved these days - can be more selective in the matches I go to.

Go back to the pre Sky times and we got minimal tv coverage except for the CC and Ashes / World Cup.
I think back in the 70's we had RL on the Beeb on a Saturday afternoon many weekends. That too came with a 'nothern' tilt - Eddie Waring etc - which polarized views of the sport.

So let's not just moan about Sky, but give a more balanced reaction.

We're not having a go at Sky, per se fez1. I've praised them for their EXPOSURE of our sport (post 89, and the inception of SL) and their much needed cash. After all, we wouldn't have got Langer et al, without Sky's cash, and several clubs getting new stadia.
My two bugbears with them are (and I've mentioned this for a while)
CURRENT level of exposure. We trail behind darts, women's football, lower league football. You can count on the fingers of one hand, the amount of times we're on Main Event . They're losing interest in us

Actual coverage.
9 people... NINE XXXXING PEOPLE to cover one game. And then, there's the quality (sic) of those people.

What little of C4's coverage I've seen, it's streets ahead of Sky.
Mark Wilson's good, too, although a touch Yarkshiremon. I watched yesterday's game this morning, and I thought he'd soiled himself several times, when Laaaayyyyyyyyds scored.

That's fair.

I agree with you about the number of people covering the match - for me it's a case of less is more.
I said on another post that I thought they could cut it down to 5 and it would be a tighter programme.

Regarding exposure, in these politically challenged times diversity is the name of the game regardless of all other concerns.
A few years ago the standard of womens football was a joke in my opinion but now it's a better level and more entertaining. Attendances (and I assume therefore) viewing figures are on the rise.
I guess darts will always have a following, as will snooker.
It would be interesting to see the growth of and viewing figures for all the sports.

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

Yes, it's now just about reached the standard you'd find at Cantilever Park or Gorsey Lane... :lol:

The Dolphins - Broncos full replay is up on YouTube. How weird it is to see Lee Briers up in the coaching box.

Actually looking forward to this match, if Leigh get a good start it will be a good game, saying that I still have Wigan winning it.

I’m really enjoying Leigh’s attacking game. If Wigan can stifle it, they’ll win. If not, could be a really good game and wouldn’t be surprised to see a late Charnley try pinch it.

Indeed. Not sure how much of that record is down to Briers but he’s certainly heavily involved, otherwise he wouldn’t be over Walters’ shoulder the whole match.

Good for him, nice to see his talents utilised and maybe there’s a place back here for him in future in some capacity.
