Now we and he know the treatment he's in for on the touchline, will the Leeds and Warrington fans deliver?

ShropshireBull Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Over 1.1 million people watched The Last Leg live two weeks ago. So over 1 million people just saw the advert you were talking about. I am going to be ambitious and say over 500,000 will watch tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess we’ll see if that works or not. RL as an opening act for RU eh? Hmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futtocks Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 1 minute ago, Big Picture said: RL as an opening act for RU eh? Hmmmm. 1. The RU is on a different channel, so C4 are just showing sport without some kind of agenda. 2. If we get anything better than a disastrously poor game from Leeds v Warrington, those viewers choosing to watch both will be able to draw a comparison between Super League skills and the standard expected from the 6 Nations. 2 "We are easily breakable, by illness or falling, or a million other ways of leaving this earthly life.

theswanmcr Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) 23 minutes ago, Big Picture said: RL as an opening act for RU eh? Hmmmm. Well yes in way. If you think Leeds v Warrington in RL is bigger than Wales v Scotland in RU in terms of audience and public interest then you’re living in cloud cuckoo land. I never said though that we were the opening act - only that in terms of scheduling it works and that you’d be hoping to pick up some of that audience for a day of ‘rugby’. We should be encouraging newcomers of all sporting persuasions to see how good our sport, and not get wrapped up in billing rights on the movie poster.

Plus if our game is a good one people aren't going to be turning over to watch the Union build up. In fact anyone with any sense will now realise that washing their car or cupranolling the fence is more fun than watching the six nations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
