HarrogateKnights Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 For some reason Siddal Vs Toronto from the Challenge Cup is still on there from Feb 2017. With the. BBC having the coverage rights it might be good if they could upload more Challenge Cup or international games in the off season which could easily be used to drive more interest.

corvusxiii Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Just got round to watching Once Were Lions tonight and noticed that. It is odd considering what the BBC must have started away. TESTICULI AD BREXITAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 It’s been on there for years, always annoys me when I put rugby league in search and that’s all that ever comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a decent game, have watched it a couple of times in the nearly 4 years it's been on there but like the Watersplash final that they had on there earlier this year. I am sure they could dig out some other cracking games. St Helens vs Halifax semi-Final from 2019 would be the 1st one I would have on there. They could have a vote online and put a new game on Iplayer every 2-4 weeks during the off season or something similar, there has been some cracking games on the BBC, 4 nation games too.

Damien Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 It just shows the wide ranging appeal that Toronto had to major broadcasters when they would rather show a 4 year old game against an amateur team than the hundreds of games they have to choose from involving heartland clubs.

I watched it again yesterday, watched it first time round live but interesting listening back to all the positives and excitement there was back then for Toronto and the amount of UK residents actively tweeting the idea that they will be following them.

Jack Russell Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Nothing to do with bbc i player but if you're after watching some older games, there's plenty of full matches being uploaded on 'rugby league cares' on Facebook. Most of these are from the BBC archives and imo are brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a massive fan of the amateur game so to see Siddal push a professional team so close was fantastic. I can remember screaming like mad for Siddal.

The Hallucinating Goose Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I'd quite like to see the Millom-Red Star game from 2019 again. I seem to remember the wind was horrendous that day, I remember Red Star kicking off after a try and the ball going back to their own tryline! I do love amateur rugby league!

I love it when the bbc show the odd early round in the challenge Cup with the amateur teams in it. I used to watch freesport on TV with rugbyam when they covered the amateur game. It gave them a but more exposure but that seemed to die a death. Probably a financial reason behind it. Unfortunate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Rugby am coverage was good. It was almost like you were immersed within in the club for a Saturday Afternoon interviewing practically everyone in the club. There were some great games on there too the NCL is at a decent level for an amateur competition and should be admired. Unfortunately we won't get any coverage from the BBC this year but hopefully a club streams one of their games later in the year on YouTube or Facebook or similar would happily watch that.

Loved the rugby am coverage, the presenters where great Jamie Jones Buchanan and the others they managed to rope in. I know some people didn't think much of mick Morgan but I loved his old sayings he used to come out with. At the end of the day they were giving their time for little or money for their love of the game. Good on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RigbyLuger Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 As much "passion" as Rugby AM had, and "love of the game" not enough people wanted to watch Wagga act like a prat and their other banter. If people did, they'd be on the air still and on a channel people watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
