Seriously not the best start date for Canada, but I think the Canadian broadcasters are partly to blame here too. We might have to put up with it in this transition season. Negotiation for a new global contract starts in May. I dont care what they do in their local Northern English market but the future UK broadcaster shouldn't keep any control outside of the UK.

Hopefully the'll be some news soon. Word is that 3Brewers Liberty has been taken over by another brewing company, so that location could still be an option. OJX anyone in 3B's spot yet?

I'm gonna lose it if I have to listen on the bl**dy radio or follow a twitterfeed Me too my friend. In 2020, nobody should only have the option of listening to a game on the radio, it's embarrassing. As an aside, I follow a lot of professional rugby union. One country I follow a lot of is Romania, who have consistently been one of the better Second Tier sides of the past decade. Had it not been for an eligibility issue which disqualified them and Spain from the RWC, they most certainly would have qualified ahead of Canada. Romania's first Division of Men's Rugby Union is know as CEC Bank Superliga, it is an 8 team league that is completely professional and includes many good players from Eastern Europe and the Pacific Islands. The reason I am able to follow this league is because the Romanian Rugby Union streams every game, online, for free.

Kayakman Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I see Gaz O'Brien and his fiancee were on the British version of "Say Yes Yo The Dress" last night on TV. It freaked my wife out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they get it together. If you need to watch the game at home next week, get a VPN then subscribe to NOW TV sports package (Sky's online service). It's not cheap, but I got their boxing day discount. You will need a UK credit card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manu266 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Both league weekly and league express have reports saying sky will guarantee top games in Perpignan and Toronto will be on tv. So not every home game but the most important ones. I guess it's a commitment that if they don't get any agreement with local broadcasters they will take their responsibility and produce the games in question. That'splan B. For plan C, some SL teams have a subscription based streaming service that shows pre and post game interviews, live audio, extended highlights and even full game replay. I hope twp can put up this kind of service at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayakman Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 34 minutes ago, TboneFromTO said: Times a ticking.... Its interesting...I think the SL brass want Catalan coverage to continue, everyone is aware of their current conundrum. That means some Wolfpack games not to be covered, but the people will want to see the Wolfpack on TV (worldwide), they will get complaints from paying subscribers...there will be pressure. Then throw in who televises the games for what in Toronto, all the rights and everything. I think Sky wants TWP to produce the games for free for them...so its a bit of a standoff. One thing is for sure...the home crowds will be huge (unless there is bad weather). I hope they get the TV thing sorted....the best scenario as far as I can tell would be TSN. Get TSN to produce the home games and sell the feed back to SL (who have the international rights). Therefore Sky would subcontract TSN...make a deal. Then all the games here could at least be televised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIWIT Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Given that RogersSW already has the TV rights to SL wouldn't it make sense to at least do a deal to televise the games from Lamport? A 2:00 o'clock start on a Saturday afternoon as a lead in to a 4:00 Jays game would be perfect. But then this is Rogers, who are losing their shirts over that stupid $5 billion hockey deal.

manu266 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 At a lower level you are not dependent on big corporations, big money, stupid geoblocking rules. Big league now, and not the most clever one on top of that, so money rules. So far the Thursday night game is still on SN World grid, with a useless replay on Friday morning. But no information about the 3 other televised game. One is uber historic though, I don't know if they are aware, did someone tell them? First Canadian, North American, non European team to play in the super league. If they knew, it would be on tv right? Well let's stay optimistic, twp will tweet a miracle solution Thursday night, mark my words. We gotta have hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping for a late announcement of a deal that lets us watch this game live Sunday morning in Toronto. But If I knew that Sportsnet World was my only option, I’d sign up Thursday to get the Wigan/Warrington game that afternoon as well. I really hate having to wait until the last minute to find out. This should have been settled months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
