They can't do that. People from other areas of GB might start to like Rugby League, instead of us folk "up north".
The BBC can't have that, it could be mistaken for advertising our game. Stop talking common sense

I think it can't be be shown nationally because of something to do with the terms of rights from Sky or something. Just watch it on i-player so you can fast forward to the Wigan game and then switch it off

The problem with the SL show is that it focuses on games that have already been featured on Sky. It'd be a much more worthwile show if the RFL let them have a highlights from a match played Friday Night that wasn't live on sky.

or extended highlights from the previous weekends Sunday games.

or have it mid-week and show all the games from the weekend.

the problem is that everyone is going to want to see different things on a super league show.
me personally id like a round up of the tries and better moves of the round, maybe looking at a different club each week and some analysis from someone who actually knows what they're talking about.
id also change the name and call it the rugby show and include the championship and championship one in some form.
when it's cup weekend the bbc would have plenty to show.
