dealwithit Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 16 hours ago, Man of Kent said: Yep, I'd rather pay Ā£99 or so for an annual 'Our League premium membership' that includes Championship & Challenge Cup games and other video content (and perhaps other incentives like discounts to showpiece games, e.g. Challenge Cup, Championship GF, internationals etc.). A package most RL fans could find something to buy into - more than one game a week on Premier. Ideally it would be more user-friendly with a downloadable smart TV app like Watch NRL (which I have on my Apple TV box and makes viewing a cinch). This works better for fans overseas too. I canāt subscribe to Premier Sports here in Australia, I donāt think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it half and half to Championship and Cup?Ā Ā Ā It's not very much and small time coverage. Given the games are going to be spread out based on different Championship teams, the subscription price is really not going to tempt too many RL fans. You take deals like these when the money paid is too high to turn down but Ā£6k per club is scraps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I understand there will be more good news for the Championship on Sunday. I've now received a very full slate of answers to 20 questions I asked the RFL about the deal.

Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted October 9, 2021 Share Posted October 9, 2021 On 08/10/2021 at 13:42, Harry Stottle said: Wow, if the contract is worth Ā£200K per year and there are 14 clubs, equal shares would be a little over 14K each, 6K each would total Ā£84K, so is Ā£116K the RFL's cut for brokering the deal, what am I missing. Hopefully some of that Ā£116k is going to Super League and League One clubs, after all Championship clubs get paid out from the Super League deal, itās only fair the same happens with the Championship deal imo.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LongbridgeH Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 On 06/10/2021 at 15:23, Spidey said: Sky have had the rights for years and not shown games weekly Make the demands of the contract stronger then. Ironically Sky have been pushed into action this year as the quality of the division has improved. Ā Sticking your sport on obscure channels works in the same way as freebie tickets - you lessen the sport by not giving it enough respect. Iāve seen plenty of other sports in the UK go this way afterwards losing good TV deals and it generally doesnāt work well.Ā Ā For a long time I have advocated RFL to start using the large streaming services in the same way NFL do.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
