Maybe with ESPN jumping in & stirring the pot for RFL rights might be good for the code in the long run.... From downunder we are also bombarded with Football & RU. The only reason we've got Sky is for the Rugby League. Which I must admit is way better than what Aus & UK get. The NRL & UK games are Live unless there are time clashes (NRL), which 1 is delayed & shown straight after the main game.
When I heard Ch.9 had the won right for UK, I was cheering, thinking I wouldn't miss my UK games while in Aus. Absolutely disgusted they showed 1 bloody game a week on Sunday 10/11pm.
Surely with a few Networks in the running, RFL would have the upperhand to push for HOW many games, WHAT games & TIME Slots, Live priority or Delayed....It should be for the "BETTERMENT OF THE CODE!!! not only for the $$$ gain.
I was blown away with the amount of Countries trying to get a place in the World Cup 2008 playoffs.(which is ours, NZ for 5yrs)RFL need to get the Game televised to those other countries & help build Our Code there like RU. "If you want something to GROW you NURTURE & FEED it"
Cheers from Downunder.
