Sky and The RFL wanted us, Celtic and the froggies in SL, so the least they could do is pick which of our home games they want to show at the start of the season. It's bad enough that that money grabbing plonker O'leary doubles the teacaddy air fare to france the minute the fixtures are released, but then Sky mess it up by moving games.
This needs sorting out.

Anyone know how I can find out which game is going to be shown on sky on the 6th June?

The Rhinos play Catalans in Perpignan at 8.30pm (french time) and 'Quins play the Crusaders at 3pm at the moment.

None of RFL, Rhinos or Quins have a clue which game might be on sky.

All sky tell me is they have live super league scheduled 5pm-7pm, in which case if the catalan game gets brought forward I'll miss it as the flight I want to get lands @ 4.15pm in Carcassone.
There fixtures on the internet go up to the 4th June @ the moment.

If you hire a car at Carcassonne airport, you can make it to Perpignan before 6pm. But if you do that, get a map of the route beforehand. Eurocar costs 100 quid for a 2 day rental of a 4-door Volkswagen, plus cost of petrol, which is reasonable if there are four of you.

Alternatively, if there are enough fans on the plane, see if Catalans Sports Tours can provide a bus or van at the airport.

If your plane is on time then you can just squeek in.

Well on the Monday they have Championship Play Off Final & Premier League Darts as stated as well as a 20/20 Cricket Match. It could have been shown on Sky Sports 3 but basically they had nothing to show on the Tuesday Night so Super League is being shown. Leeds v Hull was picked because they are both out the cup - the cup quarter finals are the following weekend.

Be rubbish, you will not get shown, no problem.

Otherwise you over-estimate Sky and the RFLs ability to predict exciting and meaningful games. As shown by their lovely choice of that top of the table clash between the Bulls and Wire last week.

This maybe offf topic but valid. I wonder how much cash leeds rugby league get for letting the players do that, i would have thought that a major test cricket ground have proper parking for players, at least lancashire had its own car park and missed out on a ashes test due to that and a south wales goverment handind the ECB several million pound.
