On the subject of rugby league coverage, I haven't even seen an advert for it yet on the BBC. Decent enough coverage on their website and I have found my new favourite hobby, reading the comments sections on BBC RL articles, the union trolls on there are hilarious! ![]()
If we could get Attenborough interested in RL, (perhaps stick him in the commentary box) the whole world would be interested. 
Seriously though, Blue Planet has universal appeal but, sadly, RL doesn't.
Having said that the BBC are definitely underselling the sport and the world cup.

The RLWC has had more media mentions over the weekend, thanks to the alleged indiscretions of George Riley, who was to anchor the coverage on 5Live, but has since been suspended from the BBC...

The BBC and sport coverage is generally poor. The recent USPGA golf was bought by the beeb who then decided to stick it on the red button only, dreadful coverage of what is classed as a major sporting event.
Sky has its critics but they do a miles better job of broadcasting sports than the beeb and itv will ever do.

The BBC didn't seem to have too much of an issue with shifting their schedule around to give live coverage of an U17 World Cup football final. Yet other sports, as you've said, don't get the same sort of treatment. |

Why are you watching the world cup? I thought it was a joke?

Blue Planet was a joy to watch.
On the BBC coverage, i'm starting to get miffed with some of the glitches they are having and the overall production. Of course things happen, but the BBC should be doing a much more professional job. So far we had the farce of the commentary being about 3 seconds ahead of the picture for around 10 minutes of the game. During one of the highlights package, i was watching the game, then randomly it switched to an England v.s Venezuela football game and it had to go back to the studio. How does that even happen! I guarantee it won't happen during Wimbledon or the Football WC next year. The unnecessary swapping of all of England's games from BBC 1 to BBC2 knocking a fair amount of viewers off. Didn't see any of the opening ceremony, instead we have 1 hour of dull interviews. The production hasn't been great IMO

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

It would help if the one person who genuinely cares about RL didn't go and get himself suspended on the eve of the WC |

Now, let's debate whether that was a co-incidence, or whether there is a fundamental bias within the BBC to degrade its RLWC coverage by suspending a key reporter on the verge of a major tournament.
I'm sure the "RL is kept oppressed by the ruling class" files have much more starting revelations than those Kennedy assassination files.

Hopefully the accusations will prove unfounded although fighting 5 off as misunderstandings could be tricky.
Shame he is a good journalist who tries wherever possible to give RL some publicity
