Super League can confirm the next fixture selected for free-to-air broadcast – and it will be hosted by Helen Skelton.
Skelton, who took over from Adam Hills as he travelled to Australia, will be back on Saturday June 4, hosting Castleford Tigers’ fixture with Wigan Warriors according to Yorkshire Live.
It’s major news considering Adam Hills was expected to take over for Hull KR’s fixture against Catalans Dragons on Saturday May 26 and perhaps points to the long-term plans of the broadcaster.
Channel 4 have selected the Round 14 fixture – Castleford Tigers v Wigan Warriors (4 June, 2:00pm) as their next broadcast fixture.
June 4 promises to be a landmark day for Channel 4 as they will show the England men’s football team for the first time in their UEFA Nations League game against Hungary following the Betfred Super League match.
