I think you have read my post in a different light to what i actually asked.

I am not sure where i was quoted saying it is a bad decision having the England games on the BBC. Of course it is a wonderful decision the games are the BBC, the more RL on terrestrial TV the better.

Now back to my original post, i was ASKING why they chose Premier Sports, nothing else.

Many people have kindly answered that for me, it seems they were the only bidder willing to share with the BBC. If that is the case, then of course having games on the BBC is top priority over sky/cable.

However, with this being the RL and prone to making very strange decisions that usually devalue the game, i enquired to see if it is the truth that Premier were the only option.

BBC NE & Cumbria news have just done a feature on the FIJI team who are currently staying in N Yorks. One slight criticism is they didn't mention when, where or who they will be playing.

BBC website will be doing a Q&A with Kevin Sinfield on Monday

This !!!!

Apart from the England games and the semi finals onwards, who apart from those on this forum give a b0llox anyway??? Nobody.

To get new fans interested, you need them to understand that what they are watching ' matters ' unfortunatley they have just lost 5 such matches with demise of the NL Cup

James gordon from loverugbyleague.com wrote that earlier on twitter.

No idea if there's any truth to it, and if there is It's not certain whether it's for everyone on virgin or XL packages etc, I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
