Recently the coverage of UK Rugby League in Australia has been pretty good. Lets hope that doesnt change.

What if the Guide is wrong
I'd be surprised.
https://www.foxtel.com.au/tv-guide/Live-English-Super-League/101027483
https://www.foxtel.com.au/tv-guide/Live-English-Super-League/101027501
https://www.foxtel.com.au/tv-guide/Live-English-Super-League/101027517
And on Page 3 of the 2019 venues guide it specifically lists Super League alongside NRL, and both state leagues: https://www.foxtel.com.au/content/dam/foxtel/business/pdf/Venues_Guide.pdf

I'm willing to back those links in over PR's exchange with a support person on the Foxtel FB page where it was referred to as "European Super League"

Nothing in the EPG on the Toronto game for Round 1 yet, but it was only announced a few days ago and I don't even think the Canadian arm of the deal is allocated yet either.

Fingers crossed!

I saw an article today about the Wolfpack doing a deal with Sky and Fox which will be pushed around the world. I'm trying to find the link.

I think Timmah is feeling unloved recently and is taking it out on every poster lol

Hopefully the Foxtel idiot got it wrong and the planner is right, especially since first weekend is the hull derby!! I’ve got a subscription to hull kr’s digital service but hate having to avoid scores for three days until I watch it!

I spoke to a mate recently about this & he was assured by someone at Fox Sports there will be normally 3 games a week live, starting with Round 1; St Helens v Wigan, the Hull derby & Warrington v Leeds.

Also, my mate & I don't remember coverage being delayed for the first few rounds, we were 95% that since it returned to Fox Sports it was shown from the opening round. There were a couple of years when Channel 9 & Eurosports had the rights. Channel 9 might've only shown 1 game a week & pretty sure it wasn't even live.

Truth doesn't appear to be PR's strong suit here

Jog on Timmah, it was direct from Fox, if you want to call someone a liar Id suggest you start there. As a point of order you might also like to take note the title of the thread and the ? at the end suggesting a question more than a statement. Now go rinse the sand out of your vag

Glad to see it looks like the merkin on Fox's facebook section doesn't know what the hell they have the rights too. Recorder set for Rd1~ Come on Rovers!

"It was direct from Fox" = you relied on a social media enquiry with someone from Foxtel (not Fox Sports) and using the terminology "European Super League" which is barely (if ever) used, and also refers to a proposed UEFA soccer tournament too. You didn't think to check Foxtel's website or TV guide for the information which is readily available.

As for the thread title (which you erroneuously posted in two different forums), you didn't put the question mark in - a moderator was forced to. Nice try at lying again, though.

Like I said I stated what Fox had stated, I didnt make any claim other than what Fox had told me. If anyone is lying its Fox, as they say dont shoot the messenger.

I said before, which you completely ignored, is it possible that they thought you were referring to the European Super League which is a soccer competition?

Its possible. But as there is no soccer European Superleague, only a muted plan for one that may or may not commence in 2021 and that FIFA says it wants nothing to do with, it would be difficult to think so wouldn't you agree? Id be very impressed if Fox had rights to something that doesnt actually exist!

My bad, I thought it was originally there, maybe as a moderator you could notify posters when you alter their posts?
Wait, it's my fault for you lying about the thread title?

Mate, come on, grow up.

Maybe as a member of the forum, you could do the right thing and not make 2 identical threads in two different forums, both with the same misleading title.

Then I wouldn't have to moderate anything.

Novel idea.

Bingo - there is no comp in place just yet, hence why Foxtel said they aren't showing it.

Haha, yes because of two competitions, one that does exist and one that doesn't, it is natural for the Fox employee to think I was asking if they had rights to show a sporting competition this year that doesn't exist and probably never will?
