The rfl should package up games, as the Premier league have done with sky n bt and give the BBC some games to cover on a Sunday. With maybe a Thursday evening championship game. Initially we should not charge the BBC.

I cannot see us getting less money from sky but I think that we cannot just give them complete exclusivity. There's deffinately been a decline in coverage as more sports gain viewing figures.

We're probably better set should the sky deal see a decrease in money and that's an advantage, we can go on to dominate but I think that dominates not winning every year I would say 4/5 gf n a few cc would be classed as a dominant side to the 20s given the competition today as opposed to the 80s.

Why not charge the BBC?...they charge us through a licence.

Wigan had the pick of the rugby world. Union (even the All Blacks) were not paid. The team that Wigan put out in the Twickenham Sevens 1996 was very special. League wouldn't be able to keep those players now. Money talks and the big money is now, of course, in Union.

Wigan were insolvent under Maurice Lindsay (somehow he was elected President of the RFL), and were bailed out by Whelan. With the help of Tesco, they built a new stadium. Same with us with Higham being replaced by Moran, and Widnes but I cannot remember the names of the owners. There's probably other clubs to add. Wigan in the 80's almost killed the game, they did not make it great.

Wigan RL didn't get the ground. Whelan and Latins did.

Looking at various points in this thread

Our 2020's side. Let's win a trophy first, before we get too tumescent. We haven't won a big one (CC/GF) , for over 6 years. I've seen many a false dawn, here.

Wigan's dominance. Couldn't give a stiff one. It finished 20 years ago. Ancient history. They've won plenty since, but so have Bradford, Saints and Leeds.

Sky deal.
The deal MUST be right for both parties.
I assume our game is cash strapped, so we need a deal that benefits us. However, Sky are haemorrhaging their portfolio, in the last few years. They've lost
Football Champions League, FA Cup to BT Sports, as well as BT getting an increased amount of Prem games. Spanish football.
Cricket Ashes tours, as well as other International games. Add to this, BBC coverage starting again.
Boxing Various fighters now appearing on BT sports, that would've been on Sky
R.U. Premiership games, and Heineken Cup.
Tennis US Open and various tour events
Golf Rumoured to be losing the PGA tour events (I. E 50% of the channel's output)

The only things they seem to major on are Prem League football, darts, F1 and US sports. We need a good bargainer, when the contract is up for renewal. Interesting times ahead for our sport.

They offer way more in attracting a new and wider audience that would be more attractive to mainstream sponsors... It would jot be free perse offer them league and championship games on a 5 year contract with payments starting for the final three years making it seam like a deal.

We've a world Cup coming and a gb tour now is the time to start looking at how to capitalise on potential success in both, sky's moneys great but their exposure is not...

The thing I took from that report is the BBC have been asking for the final to be moved for 5 years. Soon as they remove the incompetence that is the RFL the better.

Is that moving the date of the final, or the time?
