Impressive so far - helped by an incident packed first half.

Mark Wilson is a good commentator and Kyle Amor has been great as a summarisor. Much better than Baz and Tez.

What did he say? I heard the apology but I'd just walked back in from the kitchen so missed what he was apologising for.

Nice t have someone who talks as he sees it. I quite like Leon want professional but don’t want to be too sanitised and cliched so we can forgive him

It happens. I remember Danny Brough saying he got one from John Kear during a SKY MOM interview.

Coverage has been good and an entertaining game played in front of a good crowd in a good stadium. A positive afternoon for RL.

They at least made light of it. Anyway it's Channel 4, it's probably encouraged.

I was going to post at half time that that half of coverage has done more for the game than SKY have in the last decade. I thought I'd wait for the closing credits to make a fully informed decision. I can only say that I bet Channel 4 wish they could have signed up for more than just the 10 games a season!

My only negative observation was that the technical recaps weren't particularly slick, and some of the graphics and montages looked a bit rushed/low-budget, but that's a very minor gripe, and more to do with me working in that area.

I'm pretty certain anyone tuning in for the first time will be back next week. Let's hope Hull and Saints can deliver a similarly entertaining game.

Game wise, it didn't feel like the first game of the season at all. It felt like a play-off game or the cup semi-final. Had the sort of Super League intensity that games had circa the early 2000s. Warrington had to be the favourites after Leeds went down to 12, but they made Warrington work for the full 80 and could easily have nicked it at the end.

Great stuff all round.

Now watching Cas lock lane v Rochdale on sportsman and that's pretty good too for a low budget coverage

A big thumbs up for their first SL game, helped by it being a fast, open and aggressive game. So, plenty going on.
The mix of pundits, pesenters and commentators was as good as we've had fo RL in many a year.

When are we gonna win the bloody Championship?:



Amor was really good as summariser I thought. Came across really well adding his good up to date knowledge of the modern game in his input throughout. Keep him on! Commentary team worked well together i thought and didn’t try to spoil it by inane banter etc.
Enjoyed what c4 did on a first run out themselves. I’m sure they’ll get the tech stuff slicker the more they do and improve some of the transitions between Hills and the guests for the match analysis.
Liked the pre-game build up they did with the teams/player montages and the way they tried to bring the players into focus with the Leeds training and Aussie halfbacks thing etc.
Also liked the fact they talked about next weeks game at the end and did a short video montage thing again for that for Saints and Hull.
Felt they approached it well overall - as much for newer fans as us existing ones.
Liked the causal style Hills and Skelton brought to it and thought the guests all spoke about the game well.
Would have liked them to spend a bit more time on intro of the game lineups before the match - seemed to rush through that part a bit.

Promising start for them though and was just nice to see a league game with a decent crowd on free tv on a Saturday afternoon.

Good to have another option for viewing.
