Making the product more expensive for the existing RL fan, while eliminating the casual fan. Nice one.

Where is the info on the pricing ? If they do stream every game then £ per game represents much better value. They may offer game / day / week passes we don't know yet and it can only help the sport negotiate the best deal.

I have said for a long time splitting up the fixtures and selling them as packages to various broadcasters is going to make the most money rather than letting sky keep exclusivity and do nothing with it.

They aren't going to show them for nothing, are they?

So, any new subscription is more cost, as most people don't get Sky Sports just for SL.

Also going to DAZN would mean less casual fans, purely as they have less subscribers than Sky.

There is a market out there for out & out supporters of any particular team who ,for whatever reason, can't go to matches . The old ,the infirm ,people who work away. People who would still like to be able to watch their team.

Yes and for those thousands who go to home games but don't go away. I'd get a subscription if I could.

Genuine question, do you already have Sky Sports, and if you did, would you drop it if they lost SL on there?

Re: DAZN bid for Super League broadcasting rights : Wed Jul 05, 2023 5:55 pm  

I already pay a lot of subscriptions I’d rather not pay for another. Hope this is just a way to get Sky to up their offer, they could get rid of Wilkin to help toward cost.

I know you asked Wires71 but that’s a good question. Damn hard because I do watch some other sport on there, not football but the rugby is main reason I keep it. Just means if I have to go to a different platform how much would it bother not being able to watch the other stuff.

A very good question indeed....and to be honest, I'd be more likely to stick with Sky for the NRL than pay elsewhere for SL

I borrow my mates Sky go account and rig it onto the TV. I only watch Super League on Sky nothing else (oh a bit of the mens Ashes).
