Good deal regards VR at every game and all matches are shown live. Hopefully the slight shortfall in the Sky money to clubs made up by the revenue folk, who may not otherwise attend games, paying to watch the game on whatever streaming channel is used.

The fact that officials go to the VR for every call RUINS THE GAME. Just like waiting for VAR in football, ruins the game.

Players go down and stay down (see every St Helens game on TV, or SKD telling someone to stay down in the cup semi final) to try and cheat. That ruins the game.

The rules on obstruction and the playing of every move in slow motion ruins the game. Well worked tries disallowed by terrible calls watched in slow motion. It ruins the game.

TV games nowadays are a shadow of what they once were. If me naming one will mean you f*** off then......the Wigan cup semi final was ruined by a decision from the VR that the official didn't give and the VR got wrong.

That’s a load of waffle without making any kind of point for your post that every SL Game will be ruined by having a VR present

Channel4 promoting tomorrows game on screen during the England football game, hope they keep the rights as they are doing more than SKY have done in years on the promo

Considering they are paying Zero for the rights and it's sky who have allowed Channel 4 to show matches that automatically shoots down your argument.

Also are you seriously trying to suggest that sky never advertise super league during a premier league match. You can't be serious if you believe that.

The amount of the time it took the VR to look at the Jake field try vs Leeds yesterday was embarrassing. When you compare the time the VR in super league take to make decisions vs the NRL bunker it's night and day.

Sometimes the VR in Super League comes across as being totally stupid when you hear them asking for all these different angles multiple times when the decision is pretty obvious from the first replay shown.

That is not confirmed

Seeing some reports that Channel4 wont get any games, this deal is looking worse and worse

Re: TV Deal : Mon Oct 16, 2023 4:02 pm  

It’s the always the same. Lots of talks, rumours, x y and z are seriously interested and by the end sky maintain control for peanuts.

The agreement also allows RL Commercial to continue to agree free-to-air rights deals, such as the one that saw Channel 4 pick up ten games-a-year in 2021. It will also create a Super League-owned streaming platform, with more details on that to be announced later this autumn.

Blame channel 4 if there is no coverage. You cannot keep giving away rights for free.
