Rugby League must be the only sport in this country that has multiple broadcast offers but still ends up with less money.

You do have to wonder what DAZN and TNT sports were offering if Sky won with £20m per season.

Also going by some of the feedback from the RFL it seems like that sky willing to front the production for all games was a major plus for them winning.

From the way I have read the quote it looks like nobody else was willing to front those production costs. That is what I predicted when the DAZN rumors started. I knew they wouldn't be willing to pay for production for every SL game.

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

Now seeing reports there will be 12-15 games offered to free TV but a watchout is SKY can also show these games so that will dampen interest. Seems they are talking to Channel4, 5 and BBC.

Channel5 wouldent be any better than what we have on 4 so better staying put IMO, and got watch the BBC they have form for shoving RL on in the North only.
