Hull KR Documentary

[Damien]

I always like these behind the scenes documentaries regardlessness of club. Should be a good watch:

Looks good. As this is RL I’ll say something negative though; it’s a shame it’s been left so long to come out, it would have provided some interesting close season content.

I'll watch it, probably through gritted teeth, but things like this are good for the sport.

Generally speaking, the best sports documentaries I've seen have been stories of adversity, failure and controversy. Hull KR didn't really have any of that last year, so from a drama POV I'm not how exciting it will be. Id be much more interested in a Salford documentary for example. But it should be an interesting insight into how an elite team goes about their business.

Having watched "As good as it gets" about Leeds Rhinos (and others about LUFC too) which was in a similar vein, a lot of the behind the scenes adversity and failure is often addressed in longer standing/structural issues like facilities, individual players struggles (which I know have definitely happened but aren't likely to be public knowledge), or even the pressure of failing to win.

The Wigan one last year was superb.

Do you know where it will be on? Assuming Youtube and/or BBC?

No bother.

I'm in this (unless it's been cut) - sorry if that put some off watching

The 1980 Doncaster "Another Bloody Sunday" is without match. A great documentary and still worth a view.

That is one of the best Documentaries Ive seen (not just sports documentaries either) It's fantastic.

I haven't seen it in a while might have to give it a another watch!

The club commissioned and funded this themselves, without a broadcaster lined up. I thought we’d just get it on YouTube so it’s great to see that Sky has taken it on. 

Hopefully that does mean it’s got some “warts and all” elements, I can’t imagine Sky would screen a puff piece.

There's also an ongoing documentary at London Broncos this season, with a crew following them for a TV series. Not sure of any other details.

Was included in the I-Weekend newspaper (24th Jan), when they did a feature on the Broncos.

Always great to see my old team-mate Tony Banham.

What a player he was and gone far too young.
