Current Sky deal paid to RL to clubs is £20.9 .million, I think this now runs with its extensions to 2021, end of season, is this correct ? RU from BT get £41.6 million.Where does the RL go from here ? Like it or not Sky pays players wages, subsidised a little by the club's gates & other incomes. This funding will not globalize the game !
Sky does fund rugby but it does not put bodies through the turnstiles, it does compensate some matches but not all.
There is some serious thought needed & a correct outcome sought to continue this sport in the uk !! ????
