That's certainly true. Everything with Jiffy is down to 'verrrrry poor' defence. The art of true observation and comment is one that seems undeveloped in Sky and BBC alike, coloured by the perceptions of the producers of the broadcasts, no doubt. But just because something is positive doesn't make it aesthetically any better IMO. Dave Woods for example is far from infallible in calling players' names, and his trademark 'Wot a try!' is a bit tedious after seven years, and that despite his enthusiasm and obvious love of the game.

I hope the RFL 'deal' that's mooted has a clause or two about the liberties taken in presenting League's public face, though I realistically doubt it.

Even Presidents and Ministers have to seek a mandate every four or five years. But the media minions seem assured of long contracts and big pensions all.

Commentary shouldn't sound like a couple of mates chatting about the game. It should be smooth, slick and professional,

Right! The medium is the message.

What's TGG?

Rugby League.

BBC London commentary today has been hilarious.

Apparantly, Wigan don't deserve to be in front at 32-6.
