To be fair, you could get Championship RL on Premier Sports, but only if the games involved Toronto.

| Quote financialtimes="financialtimes"Shows how little I know (and are interested in) RU, but with their head quarters in Dublin and home games played at landsdown road I made the assumption that they were Eire RU, what with their current TV deal being the RTE an Eire broadcaster, this also made me think they were an Eire team, is there any players in the current squad from Northern Ireland and is RU played anywhere in NI?
BTW I still stand by my comment the IRFU is an Eire organisation based in Dublin (Eire) which is not part of Great Britain

It is still Lansdowne Rd, just a rebuilt stadium with a sponsors name on it.

Still now and ongoing, by far the most popular way to watch things is on television.
I have a mate who wasn’t a RL fan who once said me “I was flicking through the channels last night and came across that rugby league game that was on and watched that, it was great”.
He came with me to Magic three times when it was in Manchester and now watches the sport on Sky most weeks.
Online streaming will only be watched by people who know it’s on. |

Agreed. And given the way in which Amazon has botched its coverage of the US Open, we're a long way from being able to bet the farm on streaming. |

It would be great if we were in a strong enough position to launch our own streaming service as well as provide content for FTA TV stations, but currently we live hand to mouth and have sold ourselves to SKY.
If the money goes down next deal, we will need to look at other ways to promote the product and that might be by streaming championship games on a pay to watch model.....but FTA TV is the key to growing the audience. |

To be fair the only competition that could launch a streaming service in the UK and be successful is premier league football. Everyone else would fail! |

80,000 people paying £1 a pop to watch St Helens v Wigan would cover the costs of the OB set up etc.....but it's getting RL fans to part with a tenner a week for 4 games on a subscription model that would be the problem.
Unless SL start offering a central ticketing system, a collective shirt manufacturing deal and a cohesive and central marketing strategy, then the game is in trouble, because the Likes of Wigan and Saints will soon tire of dragging around the deadwood clubs..... |

SKY NZ haven't announced they are showing the ANZAC test nor this the week after....I would expect that to change and for both games to be on the Pay TV channel....meaning SKY UK can pick it up cheap.....
edit: Just got an email from SKY NZ saying it is their intention to show this game...so chances are U SKY will pick it up. |

Thats the Nfl model. They have shared revenue streams like merchandise and sponsorship. I Pay £140 a year for full Nfl season pass, that enaboes me to stream every live fame every week what ever team i chooose. I stream all the Dolphins games and occasionally other games. Plus sky have Nfl.
If sky stopped showing RL i would cancell all my sky packages. Full stop. I would then subscribe to whoever had the Rl rights. Sky no this and will pretty much at keast match any competition for RL rights. But seen has for 25 years nobody else has had any real interest in RL and sky have paid us pretty much what we are worth to them, why would RL switch from sky unless somebody comes up with stupid money. |
