I only have the Sky Sports subscription and only because both the missus and me watch rugby league but I was never offered a refund or a cancellation option, just a suspension which, with not knowing how long the lockdown would last and then the NRL starting up would last I never got round to going down the refund route so Sky never lost any of my money, can’t speak for anyone else.
IMHO.
Sky have got the game of Rugby League by the proverbial and will offer the least amount they can get away with.
SL have got the RFL, Championship and Championship 1 clubs by the proverbial and will offer the least amount they can get away with.
For a fact, Sky funding to the game is being reduced.
Central funding to the Champ and Champ 1 clubs is being reduced and as I have mentioned before Ian Lenagen and his SL buddies have shown what they think about clubs such as Fax by saying regarding the distribution of the finances.
“ Super League are the flagship completion and should get the bulk of the money” adding, “ who cares about the Championship anyway?”
Pretty certain all clubs will have less finances coming in and even before Covid some were struggling to survive and in that case there was talk in the RL press that Champ and Champ 1 would merge to form one larger comp.
I dread to think what will happen if we haven’t beaten Covid.
We’ll soon be in September just a few short months from the pre season start and the comp just after.
Just have to wait and see what the future holds when all the dust settles.
Ironically the selfish attitude displayed by super league will lead to the sports demise, even though they think they're acting for the good of the game.
It makes one wonder how rugby league survived before sky's money, but take that away and the sport is worse than bankrupt. And their coverage is getting worse with bumbling bill Arthur as lead commentator and I am sure they are using trainees operating the cameras!
Nrl is a million times better in terms of both tv coverage and playing standards. The super league matches over the weekend were very poor viewing, and the commentators were dreadful. I used to think ray french was bad!
