The yellow banner above the main article goes to the top of the page and there’s a link to a list of all sports at the bottom of the page. It’s the same for the website or the app. I’m not abroad either. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They still have that little man with a long stick turning off the gasights in the morning. In Wigan he doubles up to tap on the window to wake up the pit brow lasses.

I’ve known this when I’ve been abroad before but this is now the case at home upon their new look I seem to remember raising this with the BBC before. Their answer was that it depends on interest - these being clicks - which then means we fall off the page. Can’t be arrissed to check or follow whether that’s true or not but it seems Cricket, Athletics and Cycling always remain. Not sure we have to take this to heart or not.

Considering it gets everyone's money one way or the other, they can pay lip service while undermining the sport time and again.

Don’t know the answer to your question. What I do know, is they answered mine when I had a similar query, as i found RL missing from the top of the page links. Must’ve been a year ago maybe, and like I said, I rarely go on that website now. send the BBC an email, they might tell you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn’t suggesting conspiracy or trying to condone the click story, as we all know how the game is treat but yes, I agree with the lip service.

Dunbar 7,868 Report post Posted June 22, 2019 The BBC Rugby League site gets some stick on here, some of it warranted and some of it a little harsh. Today they have the result of the New Zealand vs. Tonga test match but not the Fiji vs. Lebanon or Samoa vs. PNG games. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RL does what Sky says 2,238 Report post Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) It might be OK for some for the BBC website to show results of matches played in other countires (Internationals, the NRL), but what about those here in the UK ? It is now after half-time in most matches this Sunday in England (4.10pm) and this is how the BBC RL website looks ...
