Second highest watched sport on Sky and we can't get a sniff - pull away from Sky, get a cheap deal on C4/BBC and grow the game again before its too ">late.'" Just because its the second highest watched, doesnt mean this equals advertising revenue. No one wants to pay over the odds for their product to be beamed into the houses of 200,000 working class people, when they can baem into the houses of 100,000 land rover driving ex public schoolboys

NRL has the highest viewing figures of any domestic rugby competition in the world. Superleague has the highest viewing figures of any domestic rugby competition in Europe. SL and the Zurich Premiership have similar average attendances, and are approx equal 3rd in English footballing code leagues. We have a very marketable product. When, as in times past, one of the world's most successful businessmen, Mr Murdoch, shells out millions to secure our tv rights, you can bet he's on to something.
