Doesn't really work TV wise the UK/US time zone difference.

Sure it does

That’s why the games are timed that way so England Australia and us get key games at decent times

9.30pm? And then midnight for the NRL, in what way does that work for the UK?

less than 2% of the population watch the ESL GF. I am sure most that number will 10000x to watch the game at 2am

Which game is on at 930 pm English time ? lol

The other games which are less important for English viewed have been chosen to maximise viewers on the west coast of USA and Australia

They’d be keen to watch the Women’s game at 2 am

Yeah, was commenting on the England v Australia Womens match UK TV slot. I think they must not expect anyone there to want to watch it so it doesn’t matter what time it is.

I assumed that tweet you posted was for UK Sky Sports?

Unless you're trying to claim that 2am is a great time for NZ Sky sports?

Can you read mate?

I know catching on fast isn’t your thing but Vegas has to cater to the north of England, west coast of USA, nz and Australian broadcast markets

They aren’t going to put all the games on at time which just suit the north of England are they ?

So games have been selected to appeal to each market

Not much focus on women’s sport in the UK (unless at the Olympics and a good medal chance).

No shit Sherlock, thus by comment that Vegas doesn't cater for the UK.

And yet you completely f**king ignored that point and tried to claim and pretended that the SL game wasn't on at 9.30pm

The first game does as best as it can

This will give super league a huge boost in ratings

What’s the bet it gets the highest ratings outside of the super league grand final and maybe a coupe of other games

Your forgetting English fans who travel to the game they want them to stay for the other games

People in the U.K. will watch the superleague game live, and then watch the NRL on catch up.
The standard of SL nowadays is so poor, pretty much everyone I know over here (I’m in England) will watch their team (if it’s a televised game), but not much other SL, instead watching NRL in the time they have spare to watch RL.

Sky Sports scheduling is often terrible (eg Salford vs Castleford is hardly an exciting game, yet will be shown in the main Friday night slot), and the watchNRL app means you can take your pick of the best looking games from NRL.

The other thing is that NRL games (played in Oz/NZ) on the weekend are on a great time for the UK viewer; watch them all morning and then have the afternoon to do something else (potentially watch football at the start and end of the NRL season).

Why does the NRL have to cater for the North of England?

Are super league putting any money into this venture or are they just hitching a ride?

Possibly because we might buy them out bit by bit.
