Its a real shame that we appear to have abandoned the touch screen post-match stuff now. That could be very basic at times, particularly when you had a player stood there cold on their kit, but at times it was very good.

Wells was very good at breaking down plays on that touch screen

I like that you were concerned about the warmth of the players.

I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Tactics/playing structures is something we just don't do enough analysis around....if at all?! It's something the other code do very well, especially on attack. Guess what kind of tactics and shape they take inspiration (copy is more accurate) from? But we're not highlighting it in our own game so it's not like we can complain.

Another great insight from the Wahs game 

This is why it frustrates me that people call Rugby League a simple game. The laws of the game may be relatively simple but a strategic plan permeates through the game and tactical decisions are made in every set of six and almost every play. I don't know why, as a sport, we don't want to showcase this.

I feel like we get a dumbed down approach to analysis because some important people somewhere are convinced that we need to present the game as simply as possible for the mythical viewers at home (© Brian Noble) that have accidentally stumbled upon rugby league for the first time and are sat scratching their heads, thumbs poised on the remote about to change channels, until someone thoroughly underexplains an important aspect of the game. 

Oh the big boppers bashed them did they Barrie? Thanks for the insight. I was worried there might be a thought process involved for a second. 

It's like there's a fear that analysis would turn people away, yet every other sport seems to recognise that providing the detail and exploring strategy is just an example of professional sports presentation. 

Nothing irritates me more than the dumbing down of RL by those involved in it's presentation.

It was a better use of Wells than him being on commentary

I really appreciated Paul Rowley anytime he popped up on co-commentary, he’s really take time to explain attacking sets - putting into words the direction of the attack and its intentions player by player. Good stuff.

Agree about missing Wells and his screen.
