Great coverage in there today. The Editor (Simon Caney) has mentioned RL quite a bit since the Wembley game. In his editorial he says that he gave Tompkins one of his 10 nominations for SPOTY, describing him as a "wonderboy" and "thrilling to watch". And the article you refer to as well, essentially putting tomorrow night's game forward as the highlight of the next 7 days of sport, is very encouraging.

I think this goes to show the importance of events like the Wembley double header in terms of spreading the word. Although they do carry RL in here (previously they have interviewed Roby and Peacock off the top of my head) the coverage during the 4 nations has been very positive and suggests to me that a genuine interest now lies behind it.

ITV news announced the result on their evening broadcast, a victory for the Wallabies

There seem to be some genuine fans in the BBC now - Clare Balding, George Riley and Mark Chapman - and they are light years away from Eddie Waring.

Tompkins and Hall have scored tries that I'm sure will be shown again - two talented players whom the mainstream can talk about.

I think the BBC News is allowed to show X seconds each day from Sky Sports. I wonder if all the time is used up showing soccer highlights - or if it's x seconds per sport?

if you were bothered you could do a freedom of information requestto see what breakdown there is within sport in terms of coverage for sports and if there is a given formula for sports other than soccer and why given RL is the third highest supported sport in the UK (in terms of top echelon) why it does not receive more coverage/mentions as a whole?
It probably won't achieve anything but the RFL could well do with a kick up the arris to infiltrate BBC sport at the higher levels somehow

Or write into BBC's Points of View. I think the show still runs, on BBC News Channel. Doubtful the complaints have any effect on BBC policy, but it should glean an answer, at least.
