About ten? Ridiculous policy to build kids up at such a young age. Good to see the Aussies are still twenty years behind though if they think Liverpool are EPL giants.

RayCee Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 So the season tickets are up from $200 to $250;according to the article. Walk up prices too although less clear by how much. My blog: https://rugbyl.blogspot.co.nz/ It takes wisdom to know when a discussion has run its course. It takes reasonableness to end that discussion.

YOU PEOPLE THOUGHT I WAS EXAGGERATING BUT NOT NOW EH? So its exactly as I said, well let me tell ya, the Great Leeds Rhino can run but he cannot hide! Its not us that cancelled the game, but I'm sure they have some slow, dim witted excuse to get out of our ranging territory and some quick too! THEY EVEN CATCH A GLIMPSE OF THE WOLFPACK AND ITS A SPRINT TO ANY HORIZON (THEY WILL PROBABLY RUN ALL THE WAY TO AUSTRALIA) Scouts almost got a strong scent boys but we will pick it up again!

manu266 Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 News from League Express 3103: Premier broadcast deal, see my post on the main forum (all good news) Garry Schofield's prediction: (1) Leigh (2) Toronto (3) Featherstone (4) Halifax (5) Toulouse... The same Garry sees none of the Championship sides promoted to SL at the end of the Qualifiers 2 American signings... not with TWP. US Skipper Mark Offerdahl to Sheffield, Eddy Pettybourne to Toulouse We just need a Canadian broadcaster now. I expect an announcement this week since Sportsnet is releasing their February line-up also. But maybe TWP will be back on Game TV and CBC online, after all that was not a bad deal at all...

I wonder if we will still be able to get TWP qualifiers in Canada through a deal with SKY for a broadcast if we don't show the game in the UK? Side note how do you like league express?

I'm less worried now. This article confirms that TWP is paying for filming costs, so basically they can still hire Premier (or any other) crew for a Canada only broadcast of the Qualifiers. If Sky films it, even better of course, but if they skip TWP games (and they will for most of the games), international broadcasting rights are open for discussion, RFL seems ok with NA exposure without getting cash for the moment, Sky has nothing to say outside the UK and Ireland, but they would be fools not to show TWP games when they don't have to pay a penny for broadcasting. They have enough channels, they probably have the Red Button thing also (extra channel) or a web only stream if needed. A French or Australian broadscaster could also pick up the feed and give even more exposure to both TWP and the Qualifiers. 1 hour ago, Krzzystuff said: Side note how do you like league express? Back when I was following SL and NRL only, it was a bit limited in info for me. I actually cancelled my subscription in 2015. But of course with TWP, I renewed since I didn't know anything about League One and Championship. It's the only newspaper we have for these levels, local UK press don't say much about it. There is also League Weekly, I tried a couple of time, the layout is better but they focus more on SL. Actually it would be nice if TWP could import copies of both publications + the monthly Rugby League World and send them to some magazine stores in Toronto (maybe it's already in place I don't know). In Montreal we have a lot of Rugby Union magazine in French and English. I suppose the English ones are available in Toronto too. But with League magazines that always have a least a small piece covering TWP, it makes sense to make them available in Toronto stores. Exposure, exposure, exposure...

Krzzystuff Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Yeah i signed up for the digital copy of RL World recently, liking the content but it's on a monthly basis so you don't get the hot of the press stuff like you just did with the TV deal in Express. Wonder what the M62 will moan about next regarding us though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
