It will be interesting to see how French TV can be leveraged with 2 teams now. Sky taking a feed from a local broadcaster could add to those numbers.

The list itself is not surprising, the bottom 4 English sides are the sides you'd expect (though I feel bad for KR who are both exciting and take a good away following).

I always think Hull KR home games come across well on TV too, good atmosphere and a nice balance between knackered old ground and modern stand.

Very, thanks for asking

Yeah, and unlike the soulless “metal shed on industrial estate” new grounds, never looks around 1/3rd full at best

That's because there's only 2/3rds of a ground to fill

I'm surprised more KR away games haven't been picked tbh

[PREPOSTEROUS]

Not very, we are the only reason, well maybe along with Salford, why SL does not dominate the sporting landscape. 

[CornwallRL]

It would be interesting if we averaged out League final positions over the last 10 years to see how these games correlated. 

[DavidM]

I have no affinity to a SL club but I do enjoy watching Hull KR , especially at their joint

The broadcasters usually 'front load' their early season schedule with teams they consider least likely to be involved in the big games at the end of the season or the relegation battle so they can focus on broadcasting those teams games later in the year.

So Leeds v Warrington perfect first game then?

So Salford, Toulouse & Wakey are the ones to watch?

Well, Broncos have no fans and didn't manage one of the initial Premier games.

Other than that - they are popular on my side of the sofa.

[crashmon]

considering A) the weakness of the Broncos squad, and B) 90% of the stadium empty considering it would be a monday night game so very few away fans could make it, makes it not very attractive to show.

I'd expect only one Broncos game all season on Premier, and that away in a relegation 6 pointer towards the end of the season

[Phil W]

Having seen Toulouse in the Championship last season they're entertaining to watch so hopefully they'll get more games once the broadcasters see that.

Interesting. Can you do the same for the Championship, mate?

Completely made up facts here.

Really - over recent years the vast majority of the games broadcast at the latter part of the season have been between clubs with something still to play for (top or bottom of the table). Aside from any local derbies Sky have shown little interest in games at that time of the year for other clubs.

If there's a game between the top 4 or the bottom 2 or 3 they'll nearly always select that to broadcast rather than a game between 7th& 8th.

Given they have commitment to show each team a minimum number of games each year they take an early stab at which clubs they're least likely to be broadcasting later in the year and make sure they have those clubs games scheduled in in the early part of the season.

Your just miffed because Sky obviously think it won't be Wire's year again

We are talking about C4s coverage here?

Maybe?

What you've said there has chuff all to do with 'front loading'.

So only 3 out of the first 11 rounds will not feature Leeds Rhinos and this is nothing new for whatever reason the planners consider Leeds are the darlings of the RL viewing public HOWEVER THEY ARE FARING good, bad, entertaining or just plain rubbish, without hesitation SKY are now one subscriber missing next RL season.
