Got a brief mention on the front page of the 'i' on Saturday:

anything in any of the broadsheets today? Anyone?

and well done MOZ!

Not technically a broadsheet of course but The Times has just under half a page on today's semi final.

Well we were the main story on the BBC sport headlines

And ITV !!

The ratings for the England v New Zealand semi on BBC1 peaked at 2.83m (27.3% audience share).

I reckon the BBC and the World Cup organisers will be very happy with that.

And they all should be hooked now if they were not already

Saturday's Daily Telegraph had two pages of their tabloid sized sports section, and the Sunday Telegraph had three quarters of a broadsheet page plus a headline and photo above the sport section banner.

Full page report on RLWC semi finals in The Observer Sport Section including small brief on front page of that section too.

The BBC should be thinking how they got that figure with very little promotion

The RFL should be doing all it can to use these figures to leverage more live games and better timeslots on the BBC.

We need to have the SL highlights broadcast nationally for a start, the slot after MOTD2 late on Sunday nights (as has been used for the World Cup) seems the best for all parties. So lets get them to make it ours. No more of this 'anytime between 11pm and 2am in the North only' nonsense.

The 2:30 Saturday afternoon slot has done well in the ratings for the World Cup, and the hard to please RL fans seem to like that slot too. So lets stick to that slot for the next home 4 Nations too.

Finally lets convince the BBC to show more games from the next World Cup Down Under, its not like they have anything else to show at that time on a Saturday & Sunday morning, they can take the feed and commentary from Aussie TV. Cheap TV that'll bring the ratings in.
