Lowdesert Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Premier have confirmed this, according to LRL. I'm not a fan of Premier but anything was better than nothing. Champs games might be cut as well. https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/premier-sports-pull-plug-on-showing-toronto-matches/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be a shame for the lower leagues to come off Freeview though. That should be developed imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Clothesoff Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Confirmed on Forty20’s podcast. They also mentioned the producer leaving Sky is setting his own Rugby League production business. Whether that effects it, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deluded pom? Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 'It is also unlikely that FreeSports will be broadcasting any Championship or League 1 matches next season.' Other than TWP games did FreeSports show any other RL last season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deluded pom? Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Just now, Futtocks said: One NCL match per week. DER! Course they did. I don't recall them showing any other Championship or League 1 games though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they had a deal with Sky to broadcast Toronto matches, but nothing else from that division. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

So I don't understand the statement I highlighted earlier. It makes out like FreeSports broadcast Championship and League 1 games last season. We've lost the TWP reruns from FreeSports. There wasn't any other professional RL to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Man of Kent Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 That agent whose name escapes me said on the Full Eighty show the other week that Toronto will be on Sky next year (at least some games, not sure about all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freesports had live NCL, plus repeats of TWP games (Championship in 2018, C1 in 2017), and that was it.

Kayakman Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Well I guess all the naysayers will be happy and give us a told you so. Thats right, its good for all of RL NOT to televise the Wolfpack games and limit their exposure. This is the way forward for them. They are bright lights alright Johnny. I'm sure Argyle will have a plan! Bigger and better is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too Alan....hopefully there is an alternative plan....there should be at least one Championship game televised per week...I think it is crucial for the development and promotion of the game. There are some who feel differently though and will take delight in the Premier announcement....sad, but true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
