Boo!!!

Not in HD or surround sound!!!!

I thought that that was the best BBC coverage of RL I've seen for a long time. A huge amount of enthusiasm from presenters, commentators, and analysts; what sounded like a great atmosphere in a clearly full (or so near as didn't matter) stadium; and a game that was as entertaining to watch as the pre-match TV promotion was absent.

I really dont like Dave Woods, he has that dull smashie and nicey radio 1 dj voice!

BBC coverage yesterday was superb. Sadly today we have these two clowns in the commentry box today.

It was OK, but sadly now I'm back to Frenchie this afternoon.

Am I the only one that feels the BBC hardly ever put on what sub's are coming on?
I saw two for Hull today, but I haven't noticed who else.

Just several of the senile old fool's ramblings :

- Putting Halifax out in the last round (close, it was Harlequins)

- £250K for Westerman

- Alan Agar instead of Richard Agar (AA is RA's dad)

- Words to the effect of "Leeds kicking off with that traditional deep kick off ... And Hull in their traditional black & white kit"

- Former East Hull Junior

- Former Leeds Acadamey Player

- Brett Deleany as 'this fifteen stone ...'

And at least one "Oh, but no ..."

anyone pick up right at the end when he said hull were out of the semi final and leeds through, think he forgot which team won, BLESSSSS!

The BBC needs a kick up the backside.

I watched the news at 6.00pm and no mention of the CC games whatsoever,bloody useless.

Only gripe from me was the frequent breaking away from the live action to an irrelevant shot of one of the coaches and the obsession with Roy Keane.

does anyone know if there will be any highlights of the non televised games?

Genuinely shows how utterly useless Hemmings and Stevo really are.Surely Sky must see the benefit of separating the presenters studio role,from that of commentator and having two experts in the studio with just one analyst doing the commentary,rather than having four people in the commentary box,each trying to justify their presence.

Or at 10pm. It was the one sport they had the rights to show, and which had earlier been on the BBC apart from the GP (which of course they lead with). Then we had Cricket (pictures from Sky), Scottish Football (pictures from ESPN), Cycling (pictures from Eurosport) and then Boxing from nearly 24 hours previous (pictures from an obscure US TV Channel), before signing off with a brief mention about swimming (no pictures). Another triumph from the BBC. There's your licence fee at work!

Some shocking camera work from the Beeb!
