There seems to be a connection between the number of times a club is on TV and how rich the club is. Thus is so unfair. It means rich clubs get richer. I am sure that you can get more sponsorship if you are on TV regularly. Trinity are only currently on TV four times next season. Two home and two away. Never on c4. St Helens are on 12 times. It can't be to do with how successful a team was last season because Warrington are on 9 times.

Probably something that comes hand in hand.

Success = more TV time = more money = better players = even more success. Rinse and repeat.

But why do Warrington get so many TV games. They were rubbish last year. Our TV games were more entertaining then ours. Plus they get c4 exposure. Something we haven't had yet

In all fairness , the state of our ground during the on going up grade could have been a factor. Once completed we may get more exposure

It’s certainly not based on finishing positions as stated Warrington this season and Leeds last season puts an end to that.

Not quite sure how it’s decided. Maybe ratings based.

We played Warrington on Ch4 last year before we played them in the cup

Tv games are boring same teams play each other on tv all the time and sky commentary is so bad I’d rather not watch. Surely the split on tv should be equal given the video ref could have an impact on some results too

Granted they had a terrible first year under Powell, but generally they are a top 4 side who have also won the challenge cup twice in 10 years.

I don't like it but Saints, Wigan and Warrington will continue to get more TV time in the next few years compared to the likes of us. All down to success on the field and then your ground, hopefully having a swanky new Belle Vue will bump us up a couple of games next year. Especially when you take in consideration next years top 6 finish and Challenge Cup run

If it was because of our ground we would get more away games

Re: TV Games : Sat Nov 12, 2022 11:42 am  

There’s a point above that I agree with.

TV games should be equally split. If we are wanting to grow the game and for all clubs to strive and grow towards an A licence then there should be equal opportunity to do so.
