I see Derek has been making comments that the game should leave SKY as the TV deal isn't big enough. His view is if the average TV audience all bought SL+ the game would get more money...which could be true but big problem there is SKY are filming and producing the games (and I dread to think what it would be like if the RFL were in charge, probably film on Sharp camcorder from the 90s
)
That would be a big gamble for the game, it's not certain that causal viewers would buy the app and the game has a lot of older fans who aren't streamers.
Also when SKY don't show a sport it's dead to them, no mentions on Sports News and we'd lose coverage that way.
I think there is a conversation to be had about it , We definitely need to start hearing something from IMG as we just hear nothing from them all .
I guess deggsys figures are a bit misleading with his £36m from an app . I doubt we'd get anywhere near that figure nor the number of subscribers we'd need to improve the money coming into the game .
