Gerrumonside ref Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 (edited) I’m really buzzing about RL on Channel 4 and if I had to handpick a broadcast partner it would be them. I just hope that if they have some initial teething problems with their maiden broadcast that we are not too critical. That said I expect a slick stylish programme that opens the door to recruiting new fans. Edited February 6, 2022 by Gerrumonside ref 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Browny Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Should be a talking point. 2 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Blimey she’s certainly a well known celebrity, something of a coup, particularly if she knows much about the game.

Two really well known, national TV presenters in Adam Hills and Helen Skelton with Mark Wilson commentating, who has really impressed me on Premier Sports. Sam Tomkins always comes across really well and is one of our most well known players and Leon Pryce is a good pundit. C4's coverage has great potential and I find the presenting team really exciting. It certainly offers something fresh and vibrant compared to what we see on the BBC and in particular Sky. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jughead Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I’ve only ever really watched Last Leg, I don’t know if Adam Hills hosts much else and while there’s going to be differences between presenting a comedy programme and Super League (though if Hull are having their bad week, it will be similar) but even during Last Leg, there’s times when he’s been serious and made impassioned speeches about disabled rights, government cuts, NHS staff - all things far more important than Rugby League will ever be and he’s delivered them eloquently, with passion and with real emotion so I have zero doubts about his ability to host Super League. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man of Kent Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Hills said Channel 4’s presentation of rugby league would differ from Sky Sports and the BBC, saying: “I think it will look slightly cooler. “When Channel 4 first started broadcasting Paralympics, they made it look amazing. “They’re definitely going to do that with this and I think, talking with the producers, they are going to emphasise the inclusive nature of rugby league and how much of a family it is. “We will be doing stuff on the pitch and if a player wanders past and wants to stop and have a chat, then feel free. “We went to be really close in the action and make it really cool but also inclusive.” https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/adam-hills-ready-introduce-celebrity-23017272 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RigbyLuger Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Muppets on Facebook saying Hills will be biased because he plays for Warrington. For one, I'm sure he's a professional TV presenter, and I very much doubt he'll call refs for bad calls or slag off Leeds. All great appointments, looking forward to it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if it'll make them think about stepping it up a touch... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
