"rugby league itk" on twitter reporting that a deal is close with it staying on sky sports but also channel 4 and DAZN getting 20+ games per season, could be good if true! Would make people consider whether sky is worth continuing with though, DAZN is £100 a year and if you get 20 games there and 20 games on channel 4, might not need sky too

Can anyone see where the massive problem is with this post?

Cmon people it's in the very first line

Baffles me how anybody still takes that twitter account seriously, always see it getting screenshotted and posted into facebook groups aswell.

Have they ever been right or "in the know" about anything? I'm yet to see it if so.

Matt Shaw now reporting that TNT are interested in taking the rights for superleague, same article says that sky offering a similar amount as cirrnelty which is disappointing after their cut from the last TV deal!

That sounds promising!

Good to have a bit of a bidding war.

Same money is an insult from SKY given how high inflation is, bet their subscription fees aren't the same price as years ago...

get the feeling Sky seem to think the game needs them more than we need them! hopefully the TNT (bt sports) deal is a much improved offer than what sly sports are offering!

I can see both sides, the game has repeatedly promised a new structure or expansion and failed the deliver I bet they are tired of hearing SL presentations.

Also not so sure broadcasters will be that keen on no relegation as it creates a talking point, Cas-Wakefield in a few weeks will be one of the most eagerly awaited fixtures of the season for example.

When nobody else has bothered to bid for X amount of years, it's sort of true.

If TNT offer the same money but without any of the current commentary team apart from Brian Carney, Mark Wilson and JJB, we should take that deal

Yes, the dream ticket of Ray French & Jonathan Davies would be mouth-watering.
