Hopefully he does, I think Long is about the only member of coaching staff not having to self isolate. In at the deep end for Sean Long.

This game won’t be on tv in France. What is Robert Elstone playing at?

Whats it got to do with him?  

[barnyia]

Only shown on Sky and not on our league even though the French season ticket holders thought it was

What is the reasoning behind playing at Warrington? 

It's 4th against 5th but played at 5ths place. It doesn't make sense.

It's actually 4th v 5th played at 3rd, no, I don't understand either.

Don't know if this will help...

He’s in charge of Super League.

He does not own a TV company

The sole purpose of hiring him was that he was some kind of guru at tv negotiations and was going to get us a brilliant deal. He’s picking up a half a million quid salary for it. It’s looking more and more like the emperor’s new clothes everyday.

[JohnM]

£500, 000 salary?

£400,000 I believe

It is a disgrace, that the game is not shown on French tv especially in the heart lands of French league, could you imagine if it was reversed and only the French could watch it. 

 

[Chronicler of Chiswick]

If this was being played in France, I'd have gone for Cats, but it'll probably be Leeds by 10.

[barnyia]

It's the guy who tried to negotiate the TV Conte with bein sports fault, équipe 21 doesn't seem interested and was just filling time during lockdown it looks like, they should give it to via occitanie, at least they have an interest in league

You believe.     

Catalans I believe get a share of SKY money because they are in Superleague.  But for some reason its up to superleague to work out an exclusive home  tv contract for Catalans as well??

We all know what the prejudices are in France when it comes to League.

Of course it is down to Super League to get Super League on tv in France, just as it is down to Super League to get Super League on tv in the UK.

SKY can only view or produce Catalans home games subject to a French Broadcaster.  Its Catalans responsibility. 

As I read it SKY and Equippe and Catalans agreed to 4 games after Covid.  Not sure how many they actually transmitted.  Obviously Saints didnt go. 

I dont know the detail, but may be virus issues meant their semi is in UK.

Correct. 

[barnyia]

The catalans paid équipe tv  via a crowd funding donation for the last game shown and it was like watching the Facebook live offerings from the elite clubs, since then there's been no real news from l'équipe, the saints game was supposed to be shown but it didn't go ahead
