Sky have published the massive list of games going out for a week at the end of March. The game as a lot of us remember it. Tough rugby fights poor pitches blood n guts.
Think the Million Pound game and a game v Whirhaven for us. Obviously the usual suspects get most of the air play, but wall to wall RL
Lots of internationals etc.

Actually to be fair to Sky there's a really good spread of iconic games inc games with Halifax Paris Wales Ireland Workington Whitehaven
Looks as tho a lot of thought has gone into it.
Jim Mills and all probably, say no more

What would people like to see with the other games? For mine I would offer up one game a round to a free-to-air/online broadcaster on the proviso that they commit to sensible minimum production standards (not just one camera and one commentator...) and a weekly highlights/similar programme. If it gets good traction after one year that may open the door to a paid deal of some sort or an improvement from Sky down the line if they think there's competition.

BBC are said to be planning to show around 10 games a year live at 3pm on Saturdays plus there is talk of SL making all non sky games available on a PPV or monthly pass basis
