Is this, coupled with our league position, likely to mean that a lot of our games in the second half of the season will be selected for Sky coverage when they make their live match picks? Or are there still quotas to be filled with the remaining matches?

We got loads of tv games shifted when we were mid table so we are bound to get some changes.

But this year they have released dates for when selected games can be changed so you know where you stand.

SKY will confirm their selections for Round 15 onwards by the following dates:

Round 15 (Crusaders Away) – Selections by April 21
Round 16 (Castleford Home) – Selections by May 5
Round 17 (Wakefield Away) – Selections by May 12
Round 18 (St Helens Home) – Selections by May 19
Round 19 (Harlequins Away) – Selections by May 26
Round 20 (Catalans Away) – Already Selected.
Round 21 (Salford Home) – Selections by June 9
Round 22 (Warrington Home) – Selections by June 28
Round 23 (Hull FC Away) – Selections by July 5
Round 24 (Leeds Away) – Selections by July 12
Round 25 (Huddersfield Home) – Selections by August 2
Round 26 (Hull KR Away) – Selections by August 9
Round 27 (Bradford Home) – Selections by August 22.

Personally I think St Helens (H), Warrington (H), Leeds (A), Hull (A) will be definite Sky picks + Catalans which has already been selected.

I think Wakefield (A) could be chosen as well with us probably having a weakened side (test match weekend). I'd love it to be picked so we can all turn out in painter & decorating overalls fancy dress Live on Sky!
