Woods had his red and white scarf on today. Ben Barba's poodle.

My only real criticism of the coverage is the insistence on the camera being on a player on the bench (Houghton when sin binned / off injured / Matongo when in the bin) or shots of the coaches WHEN THE GAME IS STILL GOING ON!!!!

Why?

Don't you mean Benny Barba. Really es me off. Just call the guy by his real name.

Made me laugh when he was coming out with phrase like 'sizzling Saints' when they scored a couple of tries before HT.

FFS dave they are playing against 11 men!

Wasn't Benny Barba's best display but will likely put on a masterclass in semi then Wembley tbf

The overall coverage and presentation is good and much better than Sky, even if that’s not hard. However, some of the commentary is unbearable. Dave Woods doesn’t have a clue what he’s on about, Davies talks rubbish. Couldn’t have made it anymore obvious he wanted Wigan to win yesterday. Get rid of those two, RHP and it would be great.

apart form the sound that kept going on and off not bad!!

Sorry mate, Benny Barba's poodle

peacock, chapman, wilkin and tanya are all really good. chapman is actually one of the best anchormen around - his presentation on 5 live is always worth a listen. radford was good yesterday too, and with FC now out we may see him again, some good one liners along with a coaches perspective on the major incidents

It’s so refreshing.

I like Chappers. My Dad does work (joiner) for him at his house and says he’s a cracking fella who’s dead enthusiastic and does his homework on the sport.

They change up their punditry team and the viewing is so much better for it, especially having current coaches and players, makes a huge difference! Different voices instead of the same old- same old.

Dave Woods is okay, the good thing is he’s played the game so he’s good to go off and doesn’t court for controversy all the time.

The regulars are insightful and provide detailed tactical and technical punditry. Peacock is good, Nobbie is enthusiastic and Jiffy (although sometimes a bit old fashioned in his views) comes out with some very intelligently technical analysis - take the Connor out-on-the-full kick today and hear what he had to say...

BBC is better than Sky but it is difficult not to be, Woods is dire, Davies’ irritating whine is hard on the ears and he is past his SBD, I have never appreciated the need for Hunter Paul’s input.

Yeah you could tell when he first got the gig he didn't know that much about RL but has done his homework on it. Pretty similar to Clare Balding before him.
