| Anyone know since SKY started covering RL how many times we have actually won in front of their cameras?
Off the top of my head i can think of
Sheffield away (steve Simms in charge)
Whitehaven in the GF
Wakefield at Home SL
Hull KR away in NRC Final
The list of loses is a bit too long

Think thats the lot in front of modern-day SKY as such.
But in the old pre-SL days of rival satellite broadcasters (BSB) & Kev Ashcroft coaching didn't we feature on some of those Monday night games (and were there some early kickoffs on weekends as well or have I dreamed those up?) - I seem to remember us featuring against (I think) York & Rochdale...

We never appeared on BSB, but the Monday night games and early Sunday match's that yourself and Fred recall were broadcast by a company called IIRC 'Sportscast' into licensed venues (ie MM Bar). We featured frequently 1990/1991

Since then we have been embaressed in front of them.
its a case now of knowing which games we will 100% definatly loose, and those are the ones on the telly, Guaranteed.

| I remember the Monday night games in the late 80s early 90s, being shown on British Aerospace Satellite service. It was a service just for pubs and clubs. Only a few pubs had the giant dish installed. I used to go into Woody's Wine Bar to watch the games. The broadcast came on about 7:30pm; up until that time, it just showed a test card.
Saturday afternoon live matches were shown on Granada. Elton Welsby, I believe, presented it and Clive Tyldesley was the commentator.
