Absolutely shocking tonight - kept going away from the play to focus on people in the stand or players walking away from the play. Couldn't count the number of plays the audience missed. So poor.

Commentary and analysis was far better than you get on sky. I'd love superleague on bbc, not going to happen though unfortunately.

I would also like to see SL on BBC but, as the op says: really poor choice of when to show slow-mo replays and things happening off field. Also, stop those stupid pre-half time player interviews and GET OFF THE PITCH AT THE RESTART ROBBIE!

The directors of both BBC and SKY coverage are awful. Too many crowd shots/replays/general nonsense. Cut it out. Let's just see the game.

Dave Woods. Good commentary. Unbiased and on the fence. Didn't need to be a comedian. A winner for me.

Johnny the Sheep. Obviously had his old 1989 black and white C&P jumper on. Orgasmic when Wids scored.

Punditry. Couldn't give a stiff one.

The replay problem is across all rugby league coverage on all channels. Sky and BBC think we want to watch replays of minor incidents while play is still going on, when we don't, and even worse Sky and BBC think we want to look at one of the coaches or some random fan in the crowd while play is still going on, when we don't.

I also get frustrated by all rugby league coverage, Sky BBC in Great Britain and Fox in Aus, when they show took many close-ups of the play as you don't get the wider scope of what's going on across the pitch.

Other than that I thought it was good coverage and its be nice if the BBC had one game every week from SL.

It shows how far SKy has degraded - when BBC is now better. Sky camera is better but BBC commentary does not whinge on about referees (even when they make wrong decisions)
