Yes,an I interesting point.
Should any money be ' wasted on second tier ' clubs to allow them an opportunity to improve and compete?

I agree with his comments about the Sky product. A complete clearout of the commentary box would be a start.

Agreed. The NRL commentary is a million miles better, and this is where we really could learn something but, i doubt it will ever happen.

O`Connor is reeeet good !

Could you imagine what a streaming service would look like and perform like?

The budget to run and maintain a HQ streaming service isn't cheap.

Superleague would probably use 480p resolution cameras

It's strange I mean their football programmes are good I do also like their NFL coverage too I think it makes our games coverage look dated. Carney is a great anchor for the whole production but needs better in support and a new format from pre game to post game analysis which is where I think we could take a lot from the NFL shows.

Another Super League meeting today.
Beaumont has spoken about structures & possible legal challenges on GMR.

Can see this going on for the rest of the playing season then the axe coming down then.

And therein lies the problem. We need Mad Uncle Derek back down in the Championship because there's no one gobby that's willing to advocate for the 66% of clubs that aren't in SL.

Tony Smith was openly criticising the on pitch post match interviews as he was being drowned out by the Headingley tannoy, and he's right this happens a lot. Surely there's space in the tunnel or in a 'pod' for the interviews so that the coaches and players can actually hear what the questions are.

Surely that’s down to Sky.

Growing the game is not just about new rules, that will hopefully lead to the game itself more easy to understand for non ex players/watchers. The whole game day concept must be more entertaining to compete with the other distraction our youngsters have. We in the RL game like to shout about 'The Rugby League Family'. Well, if that is true, we must encourage families, in order to grow he game at all levels. That starts in getting more kids into Community Clubs by making the top levels of the game more fun and interesting for families.

True
For all the failings of Toronto on terms of management they did lead in the field of entertainment & engagement in fan experience. Yes there are huge differences between North American & English fans *lot's of wandering around & polite clapping might be the Canuck way* but they certainly had families in mind pre/during & possibly post match.

It's time U.K/French clubs began to look more deeply at the whole 'Game Day' experience.
