Apologies if this has been commented on before but is it just me or has the BBC website RL section been trimmed down considerably since last season.

Another example of how our game is constantly undermined by the national media in this country.

BBC Controller mode "We've substanitally increased our investment in Rugby League coverage for 2009 and many or our staff and board are Rugby League supporters, we strive to cover all our sport in the best way possible but of course with Rugby Union, Football, Cricket, Tiddlywinks taking precedent due to the millions watching them we do have to carefully spread our staff. Therefore you should feel privaliged the BBC actually give ANY coverage to your petty little sport".

You read the 'Editor's Blog' then? Funny how Formula One has a brand new sparkling section just as they get the TV rights back though isn't it?

Was quite annoying listening to Five Live Sport last night where the word 'union' seems to have been banned. Was ever thus, I guess!

And every news story somehow gets a F1 link in there (ish ). I'd noticed that too.

Just on the topic of the BBC, anyone know if there is a way to sky+ just one game out of the double header on sunday? Seemingly it's just one big programme as listed on the sky planner.

Bit annoying - takes 15% of sky+ box having to record cat v brad as well.
