Also I read something in the Racing Post about Sky Sports rebranding to dedicated channels each one to a different sport and Sky are planning to rebrand At The Races to SKY Racing which is relevant to this

Maybe if Sky get the NRL rights back SKY Sports could do a dedicated Channel they have a massive library of games going back to 1990 and possibly access to the BBC archives and maybe to the ITV archives with regional Granada and Yorkshire games and with the NRL access to the archives of the NSWRL/QRL/ARL/SL Australia/State Of Origin/International matches and moving the UK Super League coverage to the dedicated channel with every game live/delayed from the UK and live from Australia and maybe run interviews with the legends of the game with Gary Newbon's Time of Our Lives. Or the RFL re-tender the contract with maybe BT Sport bidding and/or BT Sport go for the NRL as well as the British game

Rather than a team from Canada I would rather have teams from Scotland and Ireland in the Championship and League 1 as the RFL is the main UK/Irish governing body for Rugby League

After this week with Hull v Wigan on Thursday and St Helens v Hull KR tonight. And on Sunday Widnes v Salford, Leeds v Catalan and Huddersfield v Wakefield kicking off at 3.00. WHILE Castleford v Warrington is kicking off half an hour later at 3.30 unfair given that Huddersfield could have that fourth spot given that they play half an hour earlier than Castleford. All 6 Championship rnd 23 games are kicking off at 3pm why Super League did not insist on all 6 rnd 23 games kicking off at 3pm on Sunday with all 6 games live on SKY 2 on the main Sky Channels and the other 4 behind the red button. I think final round of the regular season in SL and Championship with the 3 eights split all games in both SL and Championship should be played on the same day and kick off at the same time.

Would 2016 be better given that Sky had signed a four year deal with 14 teams the licences are for three years so the TV deals should have been for three years like the licences and on the championship the Premier deal ends at the end of next season

On Sunday 17 Feb Wigan Athletic play the winners of the Fourth Round replay between Huddersfield Town and Leicester City with Wigan Athletic away to the winners. AND before anyone says I've gone off topic IF the winners of this FA Cup R4 replay that is being played on February 12th are Huddersfield Town then Wigan Athletic will be going to the John Smiths Stadium to play Huddersfield Town LIVE ON ITV with a 4pm kick off and what will make many Warriors fans who have booked tickets to watch Wigan Warriors play Huddersfield Giants very furious that the Super League game between the Giants and Wigan Warriors at the John Smiths Stadium scheduled for that day could end up being called off and played on a different day/date given that this Round 3 fixture was'nt chosen by SKY Sports so please any Warriors or Giants fans should check their club websites for any changes NEARER the time
