  1. True about the London players. I watched Cas too - as you did - and I thought they put some effort in. Hull are the odd one out IMO. A reasonable squad but zero appetite for the game.
  2. In truth, it's going to be pretty dire at the bottom if 3/12 of the league aren't making the effort over 8 months.
  3. Any team wearing their 4th kit of the season in their 5th(?) game deserves to get beaten. Let's hope so.
  4. BBC coverage is all over the place - days/times and channels. A real mess that pushes us to being more niche than ever on that platform.
  5. So, we're just waiting on numbers it seems. Are 6 games on Sky attracting more viewers than 2 - both in the aggregate and also unique watchers? This must be the first year in a while where we haven't seen any announcements about this.
  6. We also need to remember that Sky TV coverage changes in August - to what is still unclear, I think.
  7. You could thin out the SL clubs' involvement in the round of 16 and QF by having them enter a round earlier. Avoidable was the wrong word to use on my part, I agree. I really meant that it is completely in our hands to design something that reduces the chances of having 12/16 SL clubs in the hat at this stage of the comp.
  8. It's a shame - but almost completely avoidable - to get Leeds-Saints and London-Wire playing each other twice in two weeks.
  9. Mixed bag. Friday overload means I still watch broadly the same amount of RL - I guess an extra Saturday/Sunday game on TV has been a bonus. That said, I imagine that those with a team to support are enjoying seeing their team on TV every week. BBC - it's hard to see the advantage over C4. BBC Sport has shown no additional enthusiasm for RL - everything is hidden away. Really disappointing. We are still nowhere near the NRL in terms of making best use of video clips, highlights, stats, etc. No excuse for that now. And nobody seems to know whether this Brave New World has delivered even 1 additional viewer.
  10. Now looks as if SL game highlights are optional for BBC Sport.
  11. Harsh. I believe Mrs Moore is a fine woman.
  12. Just not getting why Mourgue and Rouge are being held back by two immobile players. But also not getting why they hang around at the Dragons.
  13. That's a generous offer. I'll be making a trip to Medway Dragons vs Eastern Rhinos on the Saturday and two RL trips in two days is too much for me these days! I do hope the Broncos pull in a good crowd.
  14. 4/5ths of the seats in the stands open weren't taken. It was really patchy in the South Stand and SE corner. On the second part, for reasons of my own, I won't ever pay to watch a Broncos match again. I was there.
  15. RL has sunk without trace on BBC Sport.
  16. I was half expecting the RFL to wait until then and then promote both days as a double-header.
  17. Given that domestic comps (especially those with geographic clustering) receive less media attention than international comps, I feel that each additional French team in SL is adding value that a UK club just can't.
  18. Gould talks about the international game as if that is a thing. There are currently zero international games scheduled.
  19. It would be nice if some respect could be shown to the 8th biggest club in the Northern hemisphere.
  20. Apologies if there's a thread on this somewhere but have we had any Sky viewing data released for SL rounds 1-3?
  21. Interesting. I thought the Saints game looked way better than Wigan on TV.
  22. First game was Leeds-Widnes at Headingley in late seventies. 9-5 to Leeds? Stuart Wright scored for Widnes? Currently without a pro team to support. Lean towards Catalans Dragons.
