My personal opinion was that after the fanfair and big build up of the first few games. This quickly dwindled. I found it disappointing that there were large gaps (weeks) where no game would be on CH4 and then i never saw any of the other games because i never knew they were on. Granted that is partially my fault for not checking. But i never saw any adverts on TV or online in the build up to any of the games apart from the first few. Other than that i thought it was good with it being a great refreshing change to the usual sky sports tripe.
As you stated there, we didn't get games on C4 for a while. We need multiple, consistent broadcasters. Sky, Channel 4 and the BBC needs a share of games. The structure of the League is poor as well, with loop fixtures being the key issue.
Matches on Sky and C4 look professional because they know what they're doing, but they don't really care about RL because not enough fans do either. Anything outside of Sky and C4, Super League looks like an amateur competition.
I personally think Super League needs radical changes. There are some simple changes we can make which a lot of fans want but I don't think it will help long term because it will feel like the same product.
