I'm not a fan of the middle of the screen. I'm no cameraman but you generally aim it so the stuff that's happening is in the middle. Off to the side is less distracting to the play. 

Incidentally McDonalds will be getting free adverts all night with the drive thru (yes, thru) visible behind the stand. 

I think it would be better at the bottom of the screen if its in the middle.

Anyway, Fev will hammer the cougars unfortunately 

[LeytherRob]

Fev impressive so far. Keighley threw the kitchen sink for the first 5 mins and last year Fev probably would've gone behind. They've absorbed the pressure well and now are looking clinical.

Referees mic is inaudible.

Fev don't look any better than last season...

 

 

It's the first game lol. Marathon not a sprint as Batley can testify to lol.

[Jughead]

Game over. Can be as many as Fev want it to be.

Yeah, 30 mins and Keighley looking like a promoted Championship team

[Harry Stottle]

The 4th try was just to easy, this may get embarrassing for Keighley.

[Piggy's mate]

Don't know what's worse, Dean's tash or Cougars performance

Yeah, like the old Super League blue band was.

But yeah, they're too big and too quick. To be honest this doesn't tell me a lot about them I didn't know last season. They've got better players than the rest of the division. However, last season I would say (not this season yet! before any Fev fans jump on me) they're were not a great team, they weren't better than the sum of their parts. 

[Harry Stottle]

Can anyone please confirm for me, has Riley Dean got a long wingspan?

This is better than any Fev performance i saw all last year. Hankinson, Aekins and Dean are all big upgrades. I'm surprised Gareth Gale is playing over Kyle Evans though. I dont think he's good enough for the level Fev aspire to play at, too many errors in his game.

How can you judge after one half of RL ?

He's not got a lot to play behind to be fair. After the first 5 mins Keighleys pack has been bullied. Surprised Ioane didn't make the 17 after being in the 21 man squad, not sure if he's injured but he'd definitely improve this pack.

[Daft old hooker]

To be honest I don’t think Fev have got out of 2nd gear yet.

Good, to me it’s not spoiling the game at all

He is going to get someone badly injured with his choice of passes.

I think it would be the qualifying statement that was literally included in my post...

I had assumed that ViaPlay was the new name for Premier Sports. I checked on Premier 1 and Premier 2 this evening and the game isn't on.

No sign of ViaPlay at all in the listings. I get Premier as part of my Sky package.

Disappointing not to be able to watch this - and presumably any of the Championship in 2023. I hadn't even considered that Premier and ViaPlay were different. 

I haven't read any communication that Premier were losing the rights.

not even the best gale on the pitch 

Gail Tilsley might be a better option

He said before the game he didn't enjoy his Rugby last season and the fans didn't help. I expected him doing a lot more tonight,still there's always the second half ....
