| Quote: Rhinoshaund III "The fact that youre comparing The Times, a London based newspaper that couldn’t care less about RL, with Rugby AM, which holds everything RL at its heart is absolutely ridiculous. The same principle completely doesn’t apply in this scenario.
Ill just say, i completely and utterly disagree with you.
It's not ridiculous in the slightest. Their reach and agenda isn't really relevant here - the thing they have in common is that they are media outlets giving a public portrayal of RL. The implication of "we can't be picky" surely applies to all forms of media coverage, right?
The fact that Simmo is an enthusiastic fan with a TV camera doesn't change the fact that Rugby AM gives a poor image of the sport, and it's not snobbish to call that out.
The fact that the RFL, Super League and the clubs indulge Rugby AM is more a reflection of lazy media relations from the respective parties. The effort should be put into getting our talent and our stories into credible media that speaks to the audiences the sport needs to reach - not taking the easy option, sending them for drinking games with Simmo and his sidekick and thinking "that's the PR for the year done".

| I dont understand all the comments about it spreading a negative image. Its shown on "made in Leeds" and Free Sports, theres not a million Union fans all watching it to have a laugh at us.
Its a poor show, and its low budget is clear to see, but it is made by people with a real passion for RL and when that shines through it is watchable.

| Pretty much the best part of the Leeds season so far for me was finding out that the club had relieved Simmons of his half time and post-game shouting role at the stadium. I'm sure he's a genuine Rugby League fan but I have no interest in hearing him badly, and loudly, express himself and his not particularly well-formed thoughts.

I just showed the latest episode to 4 mates over at mine for lunch.....they are fans of both codes, 3 are Maori Pacifica, one is an expat English Soldier....2 have played pro sports....they, to a man though it was the most cringeworthy thing they've seen on TV......IT IS AWFUL.

As the old adage goes. If you think you can do better then do it.
I bet you cant.
Seriously, I could do better with my samsung phone camera and a bit of software...........it's a shambles

| Simmons started Rigby AM in his garage . The show is embarrassing , Simmons is either shouting his mouth off or just laughs at anything anyone says to him .
Wayne Godwin just makes a fool of himself , he’s about as funny as a bunion .
And I can’t understand a word Jamie Jones Buchanan says .

Come on, you cannot seriously be defending it? It is embarrassing.
Thank god only about 12 people watch it.
The question you need to ask yourself in order to decide if you should carry on making the show (presuming you're involved as nobody else would be defending this rubbish) is 'Do any other sports have such a programme' and when you realise they don't maybe then you should take your camera to cash converters and just enjoy watching professionally made tv.

| must be doing something right as its on freesports now... albeit not a big mainstream channel!
i like it, though this new series hasnt been as good as before
wayne godwin has been a hit with the fans and his gameday... but they seem to have stopped it now
JJB is good to listen too and his england knights videos are great.
when simmo got that chilli in his eye brilliant
each to their own!

You are either Alex Simmons or a relative because criticising Rugby AM has clearly hit a nerve.
The 'why don't you do it then' is particularly childish. People criticise refs yet wouldn't dare pick up the whistle, people criticise Theresa May yet wouldn't have a clue where to start:

I'm neither. Nor do I have any affiliation with Rugby AM in any capacity whatsoever. It may be that I just actually like the programme. I'm a rugby league fan and quite easily pleased, more than others are, it would seem.
Why is it childish to suggest someone should "do it" who has stated they can do better with their Samsung and a bit of software?
My issue is Alex Simmons, JJB and Rugby AM are doing a lot more for the sport I love than some of the whinging t0$$ bags on here. And simply put, If they believe they have the time and money to do better then lets see it. And as ive already said. I bet they cant.
