Sky losing interest. : Sun Dec 21, 2014 2:24 pm  

It appears that Sky couldn't be bothered to shoot a "Top tries" or "2014 Superleague Review" for the holiday period. Traditionally broadcast on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve I cannot find either of the shows in the TV schedules. Are Sky ready to pull the plug on Superleague?

It must mean that Sky are ready to pull the plug on Super League. After all, what else could it mean?

Oh, hang on......Perhaps it is Sky's way of protesting against Nigel Wood's failure to announce the inclusion of Toulouse in the Championship for 2016 in a timely manner?

Pull the plug ?
The new deal keeps RL and Sky together till 2021.
Many said that they got RL on the cheap but, got it they did and they are pumping your brass into RL for another 7 years, so definitely not ready to "pull the plug"

Sky also had gained the TV rights for the championship last season and chose not to show anything other than the two play off finals, so having the rights does not gaurentee anything other than the paltry fee paid for the rights.
