Why should the RFL pay 30k for a tiny sports channel to broadcast the euro comp? How would it do anything to raise the profile of the game? Where's the financial return? The only people watching would be existing fans of the game. No business should chuck 30k at something for no clear return.

Well you know what? That would have been a whole lot more people than ended up watching it! I think there were just over 2000 at Workington and around 1500 for the game in Dublin. So wow. Well done RFL. Massive exposure there.

I've heard a rumour that there's two more internationals to be played today.

Ireland V Scotland
France V Wales

Both games kicking off at 2pm.

Allegedly.

Yeah, there's been no coverage of the Ireland-Scotland game at all. Even the national public service broadcaster has ignored it entirely, same as it did with the two games the previous week. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/29747225 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/29674991 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/29663783 Would have been nice if they had given some publicity to the number of domestic players in the Scotland squad as well http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/29566844 Or to Wales's change of captain. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/29566844
