Sky demands. : Thu Aug 05, 2021 5:44 pm
It has been discovered that sky are the drivers of the changes to SL & RL, their dictat is a cut of £ 14 m - next year & 10 teamsTo SL . There are no options, money/sponsorship is the control on this.
I am however, a little puzzled, there are 12 teams, so £14m equates to more than £1m per club ? I therefore think that the cut is over the current overall sum over the next few years, hence the staggered changes.
There is going to be an excess of full time players ?
Attendances across rugby league will fall, but initially rising in SO but calling once repeat matches loose their appeal !
Things are set to change especially when salary cap is removed, I do predict in 3 years, further French & other countries will be
Invited into SL, which is what issue is on the back burner !
