Get rid of the "I've got a Try" nonsense and this is good news.

Needs to go back to the video ref making the decision on what he sees. In fact to make it fair just send all trys up for review to mitigate the problems of on-field refs missing knock-ons etc. And just train the video ref to make a sensible and quick decision on the try, and have a small number of specifically trained VR guys who do this every week the same way.

Well if all games are going to be televised they should use the NRL bunker system

Once again sky refuse to publicise Rugby League in the adverts for its tv sports packages & if they are intending to show every game with a video ref there is no place for third party broadcaster like C4 for super league games.

All games broadcasted is quite a change. More weekend games at various times.

Under the proposed deal, the partnership would include the live broadcast of every Super League fixture, to the UK and worldwide – a transformative development for the competition. This would also allow for video match officials to be appointed for every match. There would also be the continuation of a free-to-air window.
