Yes agreed. BT are very quick to jump up and down normally waving their arms like Dr Magnus Pyke... (showing my middle age!)

That is your opinion. I do not agree.

Barwick on the Rugby League deal:
"After hearing a comprehensive presentation on all aspects of the new deal, the clubs themselves voted to vote on the proposal.
"Most of the clubs recognised that the best result for the immediate future of the game was in front of them, as indeed the significant majority that voted in favour of the offer from Sky Sports underlined. The other clubs were able to vote against it as they saw fit, which is appropriate.
"What I feel isn't appropriate, though, is the tone and content of the criticism by some of the Super League clubs who have their own reservations about the deal.
"This broadcast contract is the biggest in rugby league history and actually offers Super League clubs an uplift of 63 per cent in annual distributions.
"It is also the latest in a number of upbeat initiatives we have enjoyed in recent months: with such a strong wind in our sails, I will not stand by and allow the sport to be blown off-course."
