Not cheap at all.

I struggle to understand him. 

We've had several threads about this before. I really struggle to follow what he is saying quite a lot of the time. I honestly find Rab C Nesbitt easier to comprehend. He's clearly a smart feller, and when he's interviewed on BBC or doing commentary etc. he's obviously able to speak in an accent that's not so strong, but it's not his normal way of speaking.

Are the people behind it the same as the people who have done work with the Rhinos and Leeds United for Amazon before? CityTalking or something? It had the same excellent feel as those

Yep. The same guy and unmistakably the cinematic style that Lee Hicken seems to like. 

I thought it was a great episodes - reminded me in parts of the NFL's America's Game series. Very interested to see how this series develops, but it's a very good start.

Been saying for years that we should have an Americas Game type show each year, which in essence is what the As Good As It Gets documentary was. You'd think it would be largely inexpensive to produce too!

Getting the clubs to buy-in to this sort of thing would be a big part of it. There's plenty of evidence out there that suggests that a lot of clubs see media work as something of a nuisance and, although attitudes are generally shifting, it wouldn't suprise me if many coaches and clubs weren't overly enthusiastic of having camera crews in the changing rooms.

Is it only on Sky Sports at the moment? Will it be on Sky One so that there's a chance of seeing it on NOW TV?

Or anywhere else as Sky seem to be aping the Beeb  with repeats and catch-up what a let down!

If you can get a VPN it will be shown on the non-UK platforms of Amazon Prime at some point soon.

Boom

It's not for me but from the feedback on here (a hard to please lot!) It sounds like a great initiative and something we should do more of as a sport.

Been a good few weeks for Rugby League all in all.

The Adam Hills documentary has also been nominated for an award, in case anyone missed the news.
