Simply put, SL has great coverage as far as minority sports go, and in this country RL is a minority sport.

But it could be better of course, yet this will only happen when the sport grows

Here's hoping the loathsome Premier Sports don't get the NRL UK rights for the 2013 season.

How many countries receive the premier league, and what are the world-wide figures for watching a match ?

Would a terrestrial channel be willing to pay the top rates to bring us first class commentators like Eddie and Stevo and Phil Clarke?

I just scared everyone in the office with a sudden burst of laughter





Other than 'lots' I'm not sure, though I did specifically get the UK tv rights for the Premier League for comparison.

Do we need more competition in the bidding then? There are a few premium sports channels now but they're all focused on the football, and the terrestrial channels don't have the budget. Or would we rather have SL stick to just Sky and not have games spread across half a dozen different channels that we have to buy seperately?
