Whilst channel flicking, I paused on the half-time of the Wales-Tonga RU game and nearly fell off my chair when they ran a promo for our World Cup. Sleazeball Inverdale did the talk-over, too! I imagine he did so through gritted teeth, but fantastic to see the Beeb promoting RL in the midst of other sports for a change.

Well I'll go t'th foot of our stairs! Hope someone puts that on Youtube, would love to see Mr Smooth having to say something nice about League!

I have to say that I think tht the BBC's coverge has been about average which is about par for the way they treat RL as a whole. Their coverage of the Challenge Cup Final is poor and the fact that they spoke over the opening of this World Cup - with no pictures of it - was nothing short of disrespectfull. The Whole of that opening ceremony should hve been shown. I bet they show the whole opening rubbish for the RU World Cup next year.
Premier Sports coverage is a breath of fresh air and is way better thn SKY's in my opinion. Forget ll these fncy graphics. Put knowledgable, entertining commentators on and thts it. The pictures are great - a damn site better thn the BBC's - so they get my thumbs up.
Last note is, big thumbs up to Stu Bunce - boxing pundit - on Radio 5Live's Fighting Talk on Saturday morning. He rightly said that last weekends quarter final between England and New Zealand was that finest sporting specticle ever to grace a stadium in this country. I'd be glad to take you to a game and sit with you at Leigh any time you like Buncey. Top bloke.
