Will skew IMG points now for tv coverage with no championship games being on tv

It’s one of a number of manipulations possible under IMG criteria, just look at catchment area rules, how many points do we Lose, due to being grouped with CAS and FEV?

That commentary team that have forgot more about the game than most know ,and played at the highest level . Your lucky we don’t have Eddie Izzard and Dianne Abbott commentating ,as that fits the narrative how things are going In this country right now and throw in Sadiq Khan at pitch side for good measure ,as don’t forget we did sign up to the Muslim charter and as we’ve all witnessed ,a real surge in our game’s popularity amongst our Ethnic communities. Be careful what you wish for as it could get a whole lot worse

Channel 4 is far better coverage and although not having the "experience" of the Sky team, you can at least understand what they're saying.

It's felt from the beginning that there were ways to manipulate the scores.

It’s now becoming more obvious in the short time since it was announced, particularly as the scoring I believe will be done by the RFL. When the provisional scores to be announced shortly, that’s when the real arguments will start, so much for the family game.

No it isn’t its down to people watching coverage on dodgy sticks which isn’t taken into account when adding viewing figures

Dodgy sticks are definitely contributing to skys thinking moving forward. Sticks are a much bigger problem than people think..and sky can’t control it.
But the emergence of women’s soccer, some other minor sports, and the greedy premier league means sky are looking to put rugby league on the back burner.
I can’t help but think that the reason for showing every game on sky is to see how that goes ( because it certainly won’t benefit clubs regarding away support) if they think the numbers are there they might try to run an app where you pay a subscription fee for the season to watch what you want.
The problem they will have is how to stop the dodgy stick outfits accessing their content…
I believe we have the product… it’s up to IMG to promote it.
I also believe that we need to do something with the people at the top of the RFL as their running of the sport for the past 30 years has been nothing short of a shambles..
