It's been decided by rlfans that BBC employees won't be allowed to promote its rugby league programming on here in respect to our paying advertising RL broadcasters Yorkshire Radio and Real Radio Yorkshire. Ok they may not cover sides as much over here but we have to look after our paying advertisers.

Piggy Riddell was said to be on the programme tonight from 6pm though.

GMR have far to many Aussies on their program, they should let the younger Wigan players develop.

We've had IL and MH on the program over the past weeks, Wigan fans need to realise that they don't have a god given right to have somebody from their club on the show every week.

May the flees of a thousand camels infest your underpants Jack, Norman and Neil.

Philpk is far more balance than the anti-Wigan drivel that spews from the pores of the afore mentioned ABW's (Anybody But Wigan) brigade!!

Yes they had very good reasons to do so. Not going to discuss it further here.

So, getting slightly back on track, did anyone listen to it and was it any good?

One has to love the usual RLFANS over reaction to something completely sensible.

How is it sensible? Some of us like listening to the RL hour but have a bad memory so it's nice to have a reminder especially when it's a Wigan player/staff on the show.

I don't see the times or guardian newspapers paying for advertising yet they plaster the forum with links to their articles.

I didn't delete the thread and we are not stopping programmes being discussed. Any further issues with this please contact me via PM I'm happy to discuss it there and tell you are reasons why.
