Turn the ref mic down or off.

Like the Ashes?

You win the series!

BBC going down the route Sky take with fixating on the coaches while play is actually going on, showing replay after replay of something we've just seen while play is actually going on and zooming into play too much so we can't see the bigger picture and gain a full understanding of the game.

Oh and turn the referee down he's too loud!

Oh and let's have some advertising of the series throughout the week.

at least it was on the news at 10pm...after notts forest report & ladies soccer but did get more air time than the cricket

Jiffy Davies needs the boot. Knows nothing about RL and even less about the Kiwis. Dave Woods is fantastic though - great balance between entertaining the informed armchair fan but also educating the first time viewer to the joys of rugby league. Sky should pluck him at Eddie's replacement.

Watched the red button show. It amazes that they still cut to shots of the dressing room after the match and are then surprised to catch a shot of someone with his wedding tackle on show.

What I'm about to say you will probably disagree with etc

The BBC are such a refreshing change from Sky's coverage. Chappers hosting it is class as he's a genuine fan who knows the sport. The commentators talk about the game rather than any ego based tripe agendas they have. Yes, Jobathon Davies can irritate but IMHO I don't think he's bad at all

The Beebs coverage of our sport should be applauded and cherished

I think they show replays at the wrong time. Maybe due to more experience with Union where you show a replay and they have just re-set the scrum for the 10th time.
The ref's mike is far too loud as well, they need to turn the volume of the stadium microphones up to get the atmosphere in the ground.
Jonathan Davies needs to stick to Union - he has no idea about the modern game - the fact he didn't know the obstruction ruling, for the correctly ruled out NZ try is testament to that

Agree. He offers no insight to the viewer, an considering it was on the BBC and probably a fair few newbies to RL watching, a pundit offering that insight and opinion is valuable.

I get the impression he doesn't watch much RL. Union fans don't really like him either.

I don't think this international series has been marketed and over hyped enough to the correct level. The build up to the game should have been promoted more between the BBC and RFL. When you compare our game stature to Rugby Union our game looks very amateur and that first half felt more like a friendly than a full blown international, I don't think the game was too much of an attraction for sponsors to come on board. Could ITV have gone about it in a better presentation format, I don't know.
