I don't think he bothers with any research and just turns up an hour before KO and reads the team sheet.That's how it seems anyway.Nor does he bother,obviously,to listen to his own previous commentaries in order to improve and eradicate mistakes.

Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

Reading this thread, I'm glad that I was at an Aunt and Uncle's Golden Wedding celebration do in West Yorkshire this weekend (including an excellent curry on Saturday night in Bradford), so I didn't get to see the games!

Are you not a Rugby League fan then? The Warrington Wigan game was one of the best I have seen in 25 years watching the sport |

Yes, I thought the coverage was great
I have no chip on my shoulder, simply recognising the fact that a game on BBC1 will attract more casual viewers than one on BBC2
The Warrington Wigan game was a great advert for our game - why is it wrong of me to want as many people in the country see it as possible? |

in Britain it does...lots of channel snobs in this country...its pathetic
Quote: PHIPPS " why is it wrong of me to want as many people in the country see it as possible?'"
everyone that has BBC1....has BBC2 too......its the next channel up
as for the coverage,thought chappers was excellent and surprisingly knowledgeable..where as with clare "baldwin",while enthusiastic, you often get the sense she's learning something and theres alot of explaination about the game and has a result it can be quite patronizing imo |

I'm aware its the next channel up and I am also aware that a lot of people would have tuned in on BBC1 who wouldn't on BBC2 - those are the facts
And you recognise this with your first point so I don't really know what you are trying to say? |

Claire Baldwin is this really good looking girl who lives close by me. She should be on the telly at every opportunity. Claire Balding should also have been in the studio. |

I think he trying to say you are a bit of a muppet if you think people will not bother pressing button #2 if there is nothing worth watching when you press button #1

Channel snobs! I have heard some nonsense on VT but this takes the biscuit. Better still Dunbar and Hopie confess to being "channel snobs".

More viewers = More money for the sport
If you don't think the channel the game is broadcast on influences the viewing figures then you are an idiot
Promotion ahead of broadcast and the time of broadcast itself are also important to viewing figures, the challenge cup gains no favours there either
why are 6 nations games on BBC1 saturday prime time? to catch casual viewers! how many casual viewers does the Super league Show get on BBC2 at 4am on a monday night?
