Why should the RFL pay 30k for a tiny sports channel to broadcast the euro comp? How would it do anything to raise the profile of the game? Where's the financial return? The only people watching would be existing fans of the game. No business should chuck 30k at something for no clear return.
Well you know what? That would have been a whole lot more people than ended up watching it! I think there were just over 2000 at Workington and around 1500 for the game in Dublin. So wow. Well done RFL. Massive exposure there.
