And if you read Bower's contribution to the 'comments' section, a more extensive team-by-team preview will be appearing later this week in the Grauniad.

chuffer Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Sam Tomkins was on 5 Live talking to Anna Foster yesterday - both came across well talking about the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark S Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 A bit of a mention on Radio 2, mostly regarding Wayne Bennet taking over as England manager. It's almost like the RFL timed the announcement in order to maximise publicity, maybe someone has been reading a 'Marketing 101' at Red Hall.

DoubleD Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Was pleasantly surprised to hear Absolute Radio promoting (on behalf of Sky Sports) the new 'Super League Rugby' season. For 2 reasons really, firstly I know Sky Sports do promote a number of core sports on the radio station but was pleased they hadn't forgotten about us. Secondly I'm glad they used the word 'rugby' and not just 'Super League'. I know the women's round ball has adopted that name too so not sure if that has anything to do with it but one of my gripes, and a number of others, was that Sky repeatedly referred to Super League rather than Rugby or Rugby League, so please they mention 'Super League Rugby' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobbygobbler Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I didn't hear it but JJB was just on both 5Live and Today on R4. Did very well from what I read. Even Melvyn Bragg was impressed according to twitter rumours! He was. Said he was very uplifted by the interview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rhino Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Odd preview from Dave Hadfield in the Indy today. Being charitable it covered a page but still pretty pathetic given the space given to non news from the other lot. It was strangely disjointed with two lines given to every topic. It looked like one of David Bowie's cut and paste song writing jobs. Not his usual standard but probably got at by a sub editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerjon Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Not his usual standard Seems to fit the pattern of late-period Hadfield TBH. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

gingerjon Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 And Sky Sports News doing a full day of previews etc leading up to the big kick off. (The big kick off that has had less than 1/10 of the "Thursdays won't be the same" wall to wall advertising for the darts league.) Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.
