Futtocks Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I'm really looking forward to this! I expect the coverage will be fairly basic, but still, a chance to get some national airtime for clubs like these is great.

Defender1 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Think this is very positive for the game, we have always lacked media coverage, read somewhere this could make the coverage available to 18 million as it is on Sky (424) and Freeview (95), more than can watch Super League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleD Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 It is great news and also for the sponsors who will significantly more coverage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, HD-compatible tuners will become far more commonplace (and cheaper) as time goes by. But the potential reach has gone from zero to several million in one step. Not bad, by any standard!

BARRETT Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Well done to the NCL management - especially Trevor Hunt, who has worked tirelessly to bring some great sponsorship and value to the NCL competition! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 I missed it at the time, but Leigh East v Stanningly was shown yesterday on livestream.com and will apparently be re-streamed this evening, although it doesn't say exactly when.

Just checked your link. It's available to watch now. If it's like other Livestream events does it not stay "on demand" until the broadcasters (Leigh East maybe) remove it??? Unsure about this but its still available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I posted it, it wasn't available to play on demand. The 'watch again' link wasn't there, but it is now. Maybe they held that back 'til after the scheduled repeat.

Casperdaz Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Does anybody know the logistics of how they will be doing the coverage, i.e. are they fetching their own cranes with cameras like Sky, will Simmo be commentating at a Studio miles away, or be at the grounds ? or will it just be 2 blokes with cameras stood in the crowd, be interesting to see how they do it ?

hunsletgreenandgold Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 I think the talk of cranes is a bit optimistic haha. From what I understand any club that doesn't have a vantage point for a camera (a lot do these days) then there will be a bit of scaff popped up as like a temporary gantry. Rugby AM team will be actually at the games though yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbria1 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Whats peoples grounds like after the snow flurry last night, Is Rochdale game v Egremont in doubt??. I have checked weather forecast and no further snow is due but just checking what peoples thoughts are due to last weeks games mostly called off.

Futtocks Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Here we go - just a week late (thanks, Beast), but NCL Rugby is now on live, free-to-air- terrestrial, national TV!

Futtocks Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Trevor Hunt and Mick Morgan in the commentary box. Pitch looks very muddy in the middle, so any chips'n'grubbers into the boggy patch could cause chaos.

Futtocks Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Rochdale Mayfield 6:0 Egremont, after just over 4 minutes.
