Jughead Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Will be interesting to see how 4 do it. Will they send a team down under or will they report from a studio over here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dkw Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Great to see it on free to air TV, and Channel 4 will do a very good job with it hopefully. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearTheVee Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I think the best thing about this news is that C4 have their SL contract but obviously wanted to go outside of that to get this fixture. Really positive in terms of how they see the relationship with RL. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The effect of the increased coverage from the BBC with the World Cups, and subsequent positive ratings and social media coverage, cannot be overestimated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not even fit enough to start pre-season training let alone be ready for the WCC. At least with Wellens now in charge he won't be an automatic pick for Saints just because he's Tongan. He'll be 2nd choice centre (behind Percival & Hurrell), 3rd choice FB (behind Welsby & Bennison), and 3rd choice winger (behind Makinson, Ritson & Bennison) St.Helens - The Home of record breaking Rugby Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FearTheVee Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) 29 minutes ago, MatthewWoody said: Warriors were full of youngsters and I think Wigan won. Wasn't that the one where Wane used all of his tactical genius against the young Warriors at half time? “Knock people out. I can't give you any more of a free rein than that". “Create f***ing mayhem. Be reckless." Fast forward that season - Ben Flower explodes at Old Trafford and costs Wane a title. Maybe he's learned some lessons since then - but it's still partly why I worry about him picking MM in high pressure games.
