The lady in question didn't bring any insights into the game. Maybe thats just a lack of experience, but I was left wondering why she was on the panel.
As for Brian Cox, he is a numpty whose knowledge of space is pure guesswork because like just about evrry other person on this planet he's never been there.

Well she was the only one that realised it was a shoulder charge on Sneyd. The others completely missed it, even on a couple of replays. In fact, Jon Wells was banging on about how good a tackle it was!

Yeah, guesswork has gotten him a lot of gig at universities and on TV.
I find the guy quite irritating, but I definitely wouldn't question his knowledge, especially based on such a poor reason.

£20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000.
The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg
A number of years ago I had the leisure to watch a lot of one of the women's Union World Cup tournaments. The quality was awful and the skill levels similar to the U14s boys team that I was coaching. Every tournament since then has seen a steady and strong improvement in the quality as the number of players has increased and I now enjoy and even look forward to watching games. Women's Rugby League is still some way behind in terms of participation and structure but that will come with time. Opportunities to officiate will become more common and the number of personalities available for commentary will increase. At the moment there are few top class female commentators in RL but there are also few top class male ones either. Rather than employing good commentators, like Claire Balding, we limit ourselves to a pool of ex-players with little media ability. All around the world broadcasters are taking the opportunities that using the best figure heads of either sex offer. Canal Plus in France has a fabulous female RU presenter heading up their coverage who certainly brings knowledge and style to a line up of otherwise hairy blokes. Barry McDermot is not going to widen our appeal.
