Chris Taylor Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Jon Wilkin spoke on MCR Radio saying Leigh add no value to Super League. I'm genuinely getting bored of this my team is better than your team, it is incredibly negative and does so much more harm than good. It's been around pre-licensing and detracts from people talking about the game. We have the biggest game of the year on Friday and there's barely any chatter about it. When we start to talk positive about the game, players and facilities it adds so much more value to the overall image & brand of the sport. York do this very well, especially in the community and social media. They can really sell the sport to the community and in my opinion have been a breath of fresh air to the sport. 2008 RFL Wakefield & District Young Volunteer of the Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when they have done that with results on the pitch for a number of years they will have a better case than some of the other current applicants IMO We have a history of chucking the latest en vogue club into SL and wondering why they failed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smudger06 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Toronto Wolfpack? The TW that just got thrown out? Back in like a yoyo, minus a DA type wealthy backer? I can see that working well. The powers that be are not ever going to u-turn on their own decision, it would make them look bat sh/t crazy. Avignon, people moan about the likes of Widnes, Salford, Leigh, Halifax, Featherstone, Castleford, Wakefield & HKR why bring in an Avignon that would strugge to reach the level of these mentioned clubs? A Joint Venture Combined Aude entity or a cashed up Lyon, I could understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweaty craiq Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 In the last 31 completed Championship fixtures York have a 61% win rate, Fev 68, Leigh 71 and TO 75 (32 games) In 2020 York had 0% win rate the rest 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do empathise with your position on that a lot. However there is a cost to that, which the sport is reportedly heading towards a reckoning with in the new TV contract.

Who with Eddie? does SKY sell dishes and subscriptions in France to the French public if yes end of argument, but if not and the SKY negotiations are are for the British broadcasting areas only, then I have no problem with the French Authorities or and clubs being responsible for sorting out their own broadcast deal which will be saleable to tge French public, I will also add funding should be commensurate with the value of the contribution the French TV deal brings to SL. How is France any different to Canada/North America, I would not expect SL to go negotiating with Canadian/N. American broadcasters nor should I imagine they would be welcome in doing so.

No. There have been 4/5 highly competitive Championship rounds played this very year. They cannot be dismissed, in fact they are the most relevant games.

Elstone's job description is increasing revenue from broadcasting so it is he (and his team) who should be selling the broadcast rights to Super League not just to UK broadcasters, but to French, Canadian and frankly any other broadcasters anywhere else. If people are wanting the clubs to be responsible for negotiating their respective TV deals then have at it, but I doubt that many fans really want that particular Pandora's box to be opened.

Correct me if I am wrong Tommy, but doesn't Sky take sports broadcasts for a fee with TV companies who have already negotiated and settled deals domestically with "all sorts of sports from loads of countries" not gone over and negotiated seperate deals, anyway would the host broadcaster allow that, I should think any TV company would desire exclusivity thus having the abillity to sell on to broadcasters in other countries is just another customer albeit a big one.
