Thought the Beeb did very well with their coverage yesterday.

Good commentary from Dave Woods and John Kear, good presenter in Tony and good work by the touchline team. It's nice to see some enthusiasm back in RL.

The features at the start of the show were decent too.

Well Done.

Chappers, wasn't it? Bit of a contrast from Steve Rider's 'here because I have to be' approach.

Thought the images of the players for the starting line-up graphics was very shoddy. Looked like they were blown-up from a mobile phone image. Which is just lazy, as all Clubs have decent high-res piccies of players on their websites.

Apart from that, pretty good, and thankfully no Ray French to reduce us all to Flat-cap wearing, whippet walking Northern scum.

Boo!!!

Not in HD or surround sound!!!!

I thought that that was the best BBC coverage of RL I've seen for a long time. A huge amount of enthusiasm from presenters, commentators, and analysts; what sounded like a great atmosphere in a clearly full (or so near as didn't matter) stadium; and a game that was as entertaining to watch as the pre-match TV promotion was absent.

I really dont like Dave Woods, he has that dull smashie and nicey radio 1 dj voice!

BBC coverage yesterday was superb. Sadly today we have these two clowns in the commentry box today.

It was OK, but sadly now I'm back to Frenchie this afternoon.

Am I the only one that feels the BBC hardly ever put on what sub's are coming on?
I saw two for Hull today, but I haven't noticed who else.

Just several of the senile old fool's ramblings :

- Putting Halifax out in the last round (close, it was Harlequins)

- £250K for Westerman

- Alan Agar instead of Richard Agar (AA is RA's dad)

- Words to the effect of "Leeds kicking off with that traditional deep kick off ... And Hull in their traditional black & white kit"

- Former East Hull Junior

- Former Leeds Acadamey Player

- Brett Deleany as 'this fifteen stone ...'

And at least one "Oh, but no ..."

anyone pick up right at the end when he said hull were out of the semi final and leeds through, think he forgot which team won, BLESSSSS!

The BBC needs a kick up the backside.

I watched the news at 6.00pm and no mention of the CC games whatsoever,bloody useless.

Only gripe from me was the frequent breaking away from the live action to an irrelevant shot of one of the coaches and the obsession with Roy Keane.

does anyone know if there will be any highlights of the non televised games?
