This is a great bit of news. Talksport promote the backside off all their coverage and this will undoubtedly take the game out to a new audience. Hope they get the right pundits in.

good news for the game.Talk Sport is growing all the time.

Really couldn't be better news at the start of the new season. Should give our game unprecedented national exposure. Superb

Any extra coverage of rugby league is always positive, especially when it is a deal to cover so much of our great game like this.

It is great news. But it won't be proper rugby league coverage unless their pundits irritate the t!ts off at least 75% of the audience.

Fantastic news.

I listen to a lot of TalkSport sat at my desk through the day (& wasting time on here), so it's great from a personal point of view.

'wakefieldwall' is also bang on when they say Talksport massively promote their coverage and to a big audience

I agree. Great deal for Rugby League.
It's always irritating when the other sports get so much coverage on Talk Sport and we don't (assuming because they already had a deal)
It'll make me listen more so good for them and us.

Presumably this won't impact on the existing BBC local radio coverage and is an "as well as" rather than "instead of"?

Odd that Brian Moore's "Fighting Talk", the station's flagship programme for all things related to both codes of rugby, had no RL presence this week to preview the start of the new season. Instead it was pretty much entirely devoted to the Six Nations kick-off.
