| St helens v London.
Just......why?
London have been televised twice away at 2 of the top teams in the league. If you are going to televise them, show them v bradford, in a game that could be a contest.
I've never been a fan of the top team v bottom team televised combo. I accept there are certain things at play with teams being televised a set number of times and when fixtures occur and when you can fit them in yadda yadda yadda but f*ck that's a shocking call.

| Spot on. I'm a massive fan of rugby league but I've actually turned it off because, to me, it offers no entertainment value. Who else would tune in to watch a Saints training session?

Not even saints fans can get excited about it, half empty stadium and no atmosphere. So how are neutrals supposed to?
No doubt later in the season they'll televise them against wigan, after they've been relegated of course.

| I think it's called twisting the knife, they have probably had enough of the Broncos saga.

| Why are you not watching Mo & Ron Ball's game?
RUGBY LEAGUE is being played.
Your choice but Rugby League of any kind is worth watching.

| If this game was programmed at the beginning of the season, then fair enough, however it was quite apparent from very early on that London are dead men walking, so if it’s a fairly recent addition, it’s a shocking decision.
Any newbie who just happens to be flicking through the sports channels & comes across this won’t hang about. It’s not a contest, just men v boys in a half empty stadium, with the usual fare from the commentary team.
It must be soul destroying playing for, or supporting London right now .

| Thought it was an interesting game, not the best contest but saints played some good stuff, there was some great bits of play and it was heartening to see London not give up, they improved as the game went on and would have pushed a few lesser teams quite a bit closer

| I enjoyed the match. Ok there was only going to be one winner, saints looked to stroll through for try's at times. But there was positives for London and they never gave up. Nothing worse than watching a losing side giving up so for me still a contest to watch.

| Why not have them two teams?
Wigan vs Warrington this year... Boring as hell
Warrington vs saints only one winner.
Catalan vs leeds and giants. Walkover scores.
Nobody can predict what's going to happen in a game. Even the 'top teams' provide awful entertainment.
Well done London for showing courage and not giving up. Rugby league how it should be.

| The difference being you have no idea if Wire v Wigan is going to be boring or one sided but a top team versus the worst side in SL is a forgone conclusion.

| Thought London battled well. Had saints 26-30 but I will credit the broncos for that.
