Four-time Super League Grand Final winner Kyle Amor and well-known broadcasters Dave Woods and Mark Wilson join the commentary line-up for the biggest ever season of Super League on Sky Sports.
The trio join Sky Sports following a historic rights deal made last year, giving Super League fans the chance to watch every top-flight match live for the first time, with around 170 games each year that will include Magic Weekend fixtures, play-offs and all three Grand Finals - Men's, Women's and Wheelchair.

“They will each bring quality, experience and an understanding of what the rugby league community wants to know.
"We have every confidence that they will take our coverage to new levels as we bring fans every fixture across Sky platforms.”
RL Commercial managing director Rhodri Jones has also further revealed plans for the competition's new platform, ‘Super League+’ giving supporters access to every game via a subscription, while all Super League fixtures for the first 15 rounds will be available across Sky Sports channels.

Providing details, Jones said: "It will be a subscription platform, similar to Netflix. You'll be able to buy an annual pass, a monthly pass or a game pay-per-view pass.
"After round 15, two matches will stay on the front channels and the other four will disappear onto the Sky Sports streaming platform. In terms of ‘Super League+’, we'll launch on January 23rd; you can buy immediately at that point.
"There are already over 250 pieces of archive uploaded onto the system, so it will be a proper subscription service."
Sky Sports' exclusive two picks will only be made available on the new Super League platform 48 hours after live broadcast, as per the new historic deal.
