The nothing games can still be entertaining at least, albeit with nothing at stake. Widnes Cas next week is a nothing game but its a game the neutral can get into, widnes underdogs, home team, sky commentary praying for a widnes win to take them off the bottom etc, will be a little more entertaining then last nights joke of a selected game. Bradford Wakey or even Wire v Hull (close for an hour) would've been better games.

But by no means essential viewing and certainly not worth coming on here and moaning about missing.



If they'd shown them there'd still be moaning that they didn't show something else.

nah, clarke would implode



clarke:this wigan side eddeh, are so much better , what they do, betteh than any other team in the league, is XYZ.



carney: so why are warrington beating them, [iagain[/i, Phil?

This is where you can't win.



Show Widnes at Wigan and its a crap one sided affair. Show Widnes vs Cas and it's going to be 'lesser quality and poor to watch' elitist attitudes at its best.



SL has a tv deal to show the game not just the top 3/4 sides who themselves this year have mauled each other a few times and also got turned over by lower sides too.

two tens anyone, would be some great games at the top of the second tier and fewer garbage ones in the top

I don't subscribe to Premier Sports to watch Leigh v Fev in the Championship, and aren't bothered about Widnes v Cas in Super League, so why would I if the League was called Super League 2 and they all played each other?

But you would still subscribe to Sky Sports, and others who dont may do - thus increasing income for Sky to throw at our sport.........................

But since Sky don't want Championship RL as things stand why would they want a competition of only slightly better standard? I'd watch the odd game as I did last year when the Championship was on Sky, but wouldn't subscribe to a new channel for them.

Do you understand the concept of increasing income............

If SKY wanted 20 full time teams competing they'd have already done it. Simple really.



The two tens idea is simply ridiculous and largely based on a pure guess SKY have millions sat there they are desperate to throw at RL.

How many people subscribe to Premier Sports that don't subscribe to Sky for Rugby League? Obviously I don't have the figures but I'd say it would be pretty low. Would then then subscribe to watch Super League 2 games?

Saddened starts anti Wigan thread. I'm in shock.



It was a strange selection for Sky I agree, but they have to be careful with the games they choose on Monday nights. Wire v Hull would have seen a nothing crowd as not many Hull fans would travel on a Monday as opposed to a Sunday. The crowd last night was down about 2k on what the club expected at the start of the season.
