Well, new season, more ‘trapped-in-the-eighties’ garbage on show.

Interview with Danny Ward where they were asking him about DewFest where Leeds players used to get on it in the “mucky pubs” around Dewsbury and Batley.

Then Wagga doing a “Gin Challenge” where he and another ex-player downed a goblet of gin, first to down it all wins.

Just what on Earth is this rubbish? Talk about painting the game in a backwards, out of date, absolutely terrible light! These are not current players but it’s still unprofessional. It was nearly as much a show about drinking as it was rugby.

A bit of a disgrace if I’m being honest! The clubs and SL or the RFL should be stepping in here, surely?

I’d go as far to say that we need to get Rugby AM off the tele if that’s what it’s going to carry in being like. It’d be better for the image of the sport to get rid of it and have less rugby league programming on tele, than actually have that sort of thing on!

Just wait until Backchat comes back on from that pub straight out of 1980.

I've absolutely no idea how they've got this show as far as it has. Fair play to them for that.

If you're a bit thick, shout a lot and love to talk about getting into trouble and drinking then you'll fit right in with Simmons and his band of idiots.

Rugby AM abysmal . Why anyone would choose to watch the programme is unfathomable it is comparable to a cross between a children’s school project and Prisoner Cell Block H .

Not being from the Rugby League Heartlands and love Rugby League,i give this a miss..Totally cringed when i saw it..Terrible programme for promoting our sport...

Contrary to what most seem to think the most recent episode with Oli Holmes and the piece about the England Lions PNP tour was good! Given that there is absolutely feck all abour Rugby League on main stream TV, along with Backchat, its got to be better than nowt at all! Give it a chance! (OK another one!)

Rugby AM is an embarrassment to Rugby League.
The set is awful, the filming is awful and the content is cringeworthy anyone involved in this programme should be embarrassed.

I shudder to think what anyone Rugby Union , Darts , Netball or Curling fan would make of the programme.

I've been banging on how Simmons and Godwin year in year out embarras rugby league with a total dogpoop of a show.

People defend it though cos it's "publicity" or something. I think Leeds fans like it for some reason.

When it's as bad as Rugby AM I'd prefer nothing at all.

I completely agree and cant believe the snobbery of "some" RL fans when it comes to Rugby AM. The state that RL is in at the moment, I dont think we have the option to be picky.

So far this series weve had, Ellery (GOAT). Where else are we getting to see Ellery speak about the game and his career?

Weve had Robinson. Where else are we getting to see him speak about the game?

Access to players like Holmes which gives a little bit of an insight into their lives and careers.

A really, really interesting documentary on the Knights tour to PNG where if it wasnt for Rugby AM and JJB we wouldnt get to see what goes into something like this and the life changing experience it presents to the young players. Something many of us will never experience.

So its not the best presented or best produced material on TV, but so what. Its giving me, an RL tragic, a little insight into areas of the game i find interesting. No one else is doing it.

Along with all the podcasts that various folk are doing I can only see things like Rugby AM as a positive for the game. I bet the amateur lads that are getting the chance to play in televised games arent grumbling. I bet Jamaica RL arent grumbling from the little bit of publicity its giving them.

As the old adage goes. If you think you can do better then do it.

I bet you cant.

Well said! Good to see there are one or two open minds! Who was it once said "Any publicity is good publicity"? (Apart from me that is!).

Cant believe all the grumbling tbh. Theres been some great and interesting pieces on Rugby AM, JJB speaks well about the game and they get fans interviewed and insights into backroom teams etc.

They do a lot promoting charities and the game in general, if you dont like it, dont watch it!

I don't think its snobbish to point out that Rugby AM is amateurish, boorish and outdated and given the state that RL is in, we absolutely do have a right to be picky.

It's a complete myth that all publicity is good publicity.
