Imagine if the GF is between Toulouse and London? 

Sky or BBC would be mad not to televise a contest between two such significant cities.

Yeah with 1000's of London fans travelling.

If the Grand Final is between Toulouse and London, I wonder if there will be any TV coverage at all. ViaPlay have the rights to show it, as they presumably would have had with today's semi final, but does the contract oblige them to do so?

They're abandoning RL, have laid off a quarter of their staff and are millions in debt. They're advertising the final on their website, but if it's at Toulouse are they in a position to fulfil that coverage, take broadcast trucks to the south of France etc?

 

No i should think not,they've proved what they think of RL.

[MattSantos]

What'd be the best radio station to listen to this?

 

[GUBRATS]

A bit harsh on the travelling fans from the Capital , they'll be getting home late

Fev couldn't blow this, could they?

 

Impossible i would have thought, and I would expect them to beat Toulouse as well

Semi final, heavy underdogs versus a small Yorkshire mining village, where have I seen this before?
History repeats, London by 6, Lewis ‘Steele’ Bienek with the winning try on 80!

For anyone watching on TV, just to point out there's not a prize for pointing out the floodlights are rubbish.

You would be hard pressed to refer to Featherstone as a ‘town’. It’s a suburb of Wakefield at best.

Come on then the plucky little ex-mining "village" underdogs against the mighty capital city team!

With a proud history for the size of the place.

Come on Broncos!

Just for the fume as people have to come to terms with either London or Toulouse going up. 

[Guest]

Well, that's put the pressure on Fev. 

[Guest]

Bienek is a guy who really should have made it at a higher level

It's very rare in sport where you could call London the underdog against Featherstone. 

[Guest]

Fev seem to have a couple of 10 tackle sets for no reason?

[Guest]

Looks a try. 

[LeytherRob]

London are playing brilliantly, Norman has it on a string

[Chrispmartha]

Really hope London can win this

There were two back to back. One held up over the line on the 4th and then they had another 6 tackles. 

 

Bizarre. 

[Guest]

Unlucky that.
