@PhilB1985 @Rod_Studd @johnnyddavidson Up to boss- but if we want top players playing around 22 club games plus 5 internationals- then id expect home matches vs York, Toulouse, Cas, Bradford, Huddersfield would be candidates for games where not to select all of numbers 2 to 7!

@MichaelBurke89 @Rod_Studd @johnnyddavidson They made 4 changes from the previous week How many would you like them to change?

Odd that this argument wasn’t presented after Cas won at Wigan. Equally odd that it’s taboo to mention the whippings in the NRL and the abject filth served up by Melbourne Storm last week

John Davidson@johnnyddavidson

With every one-sided victory and whipping the spurious agreement to expand to 14 clubs, without the player pool to provide it, without time to adequately prepare for it, splinters that argument a bit more.

@CliveTyldesley Two quick fixes to improve discourse. For most stories, policy leads should lead stories and explain policy trade offs, rather than Westminster teams who focus too much on 'politics'. Second is to heavily reduce impact of algorithms on social media- designed to enrage users

I am doing some part-time media teaching at uni. This Laura Kuenssberg ‘in depth’ piece on the BBC website includes 6 quotes to back up the tone of the headline. All 6 are from anonymous sources. Is this sound journalism?

Paul Nettleton@PaulANettleton

The BBC website is leading on an opinion piece. I’m not a Labour supporter, just a retired journalist. This is a contentious decision given the privileged position of our national broadcaster during an election campaign.

@KMast77K @MarkWilsonRadio @johnnyddavidson @philkinsella Will it? 70% plus of PL games on tv now, and RL has few Sat 3pm games. Sky primarily pay for dedicated RL fan who'd cancel all Sky services if they dont show RL. Its not zero sum game, Sky RL viewing hasn't fallen since new EFL deal and RL crowds up with football increasing too

@MichaelBurke89 @MarkWilsonRadio @johnnyddavidson @philkinsella As soon as the 3pm blackout gets removed, every football game will be on TV and that will screw Rugby (both codes).

Bradford Bulls v Hull KR at Same time as Bradford City home to Bolton this Saturday . No one could have foreseen importance of BCFC game but their fixture was known months before SL ones were published - that scheduling was never helpful to either club

John Davidson@johnnyddavidson

That is some poor fixture timing clashes:

@DaleJohnsonBBC Thank goodness. Anyone who has watched Super League/ NRL rugby knows that even 1 challenge has become a tactical timeout/ way to slow the game in last 10 mins. 4 challenges a match would be awful

Championship clubs have rejected to chance to introduce a version of VAR for next season. Football Video Support (FVS), a variation of VAR which needs fewer resources and gives each coach two reviews per game, could have been brought in from August. 👇 bbc.co.uk/sport/football…

@MarkWilsonRadio @KMast77K @johnnyddavidson @philkinsella Sub 20k watch streamed games. Preferable to group unattracrive games (eg.hudd v toulouse) with standalone slots on Main Event for better ones? PL has about half matches at Sat 3pm not on tv or Sun 2pm to avoid saturation and not to dilute product, same efl (Sat 12.30/ 3pm).

English

Mark Wilson@MarkWilsonRadio·21 Nis

@KMast77K @MichaelBurke89 @johnnyddavidson @philkinsella RL has to make its own unique time slots. Work with the broadcaster. Highlight gaps in the coverage. Target more spots on Main Event. First thing, no kick offs that clash. None at all.

English

Michael Burke@MichaelBurke89·21 Nis

@MarkWilsonRadio @johnnyddavidson @philkinsella Sat 3pm is good tv slot, given amount of live football on otherwise. Also attractive for any free to air as outside prime time entertainment. Though agree on silly scheduling- cant Sky RL and Sky football team chat- lots of unnecessary clashes for many clubs throughout season!

@philkinsella @johnnyddavidson Will be 25k at Valley Parade. Sure to affect the Bulls attendance. I think Wakey would have sold out last week but played at same time as Leeds United and a lunchtime ko for Barnsley v Bradford. In football season, SL 3pm kick offs should be avoided at all costs.

@MarkWilsonRadio @SkySportsRL @NRL But TV deal is crucial to any future? Sky pay £22m plus production- any NRL offer has to take into account whether that amount is static or increases? DAZN likely to win and pay big for NRL rights in Aus- so how that interacts with SL is pretty key to any NRL deal? Enjoy 2nd half

@MichaelBurke89 @SkySportsRL @NRL In fairness Michael I’m not sure they would ask. The interview tonight wasn’t about Sky it was about the future of the sport of rugby league. Once that’s sorted out then the rest can play out.
