I thought something didn't look right.

For some reason the BBC thinks Canterbury beat St.George last week and are top.

YES - They seem to have a problem with ladder positions & points differentials ?

Yes. Poor show from the BBC. They've put in the wrong results. God knows how long it'll take them to rectify the mistake.

I think it's been put right now.
The BBC seems to be taking it's eye off the ball here in the UK - metaphorically and literally.
Their website seems to have got this wrong for a while.
It's teletext RL coverage in the UK has got worse. Their analogue pages are disorganised and poor. For example somebody puts NRL fixtures up for a weekend on one day and then prints OFF against games that aren't played on that actual day.
Their Digital text (red button) for Rugby League is even worse. They've cut out virtually everything apart from Super League. The Co-operative Championship and Championship 1 tables had gone completely this weekend when I looked for them.
The quality of their teletext service has slipped.
They were OK until ITV dropped their service. Lack of competition has done us all a disservice.
