Re: BBC : Mon Nov 02, 2015 9:34 am  
The annoying thing for me was just a few hours before the game started 5 live had a Rugby special on.
Naively thinking it would be about the England NZ game I tuned in, but it no it was all about what went wrong
with England in the Union World cup. Not a mention of the League test match being shown on BBC 2 a few hours later.

Regarding the mentions of the series from the BBC (& elsewhere in the media), I don't really blame them to be honest.

I think International RL has dug the hole it finds itself in over the past 20 years by treating the International game as an after thought. If the sport treats it as such, why would the media be that interested?

Before this series England hadn't played at home for two years. Our International calendar has been a joke and only takes place for a few weeks in an Autumn. We've previously played most of it at small, northern stadia.


Hopefully this is starting to change. All three games have sold really well, and we've woken up and realised that we must have an International presence in the capital. The International calendar is better than it was, but still lacks forward thinking.

We need to give the media the games (events) to speak and get excited about.

Jiffy Davies needs the boot. Knows nothing about RL and even less about the Kiwis. Dave Woods is fantastic though - great balance between entertaining the informed armchair fan but also educating the first time viewer to the joys of rugby league. Sky should pluck him at Eddie's replacement.

I really don't get the vitriol directed at Jiffy. I mean are you saying he's worse than Stevo and Wiggy? Seriously????
As an aside, Jiffy's comments re. Sam Burgess last night were spot on.

Well we actually made the BBC Breaksfast sport news this morning and Nicky Campbell interviewed Steve Macnamara Five Live this morning and mentioned himself that the game at the Olympic Stadium will be a good spectacle.
