Coverage of most events in sport has evolved thanks to the likes of Sky Sports raising the bar. Unfortunately the BBC's coverage of the game has gone in completley the opposite direction Their coverage is a slap in the face of rugby league and watching the recording yesterday all I could think was they are still covering it as 'the old Northern sport comes down south for a big day in the sunshine crap'. The worst was after watching us pick up the trophy and then hoping to see the lads doing the lap of honour to us all she then announces that you can watch the rest with red button crap!!!! BBC don't deserve the coverage and I for one would love to see them lose it - Wake up RFL PLEASE

Can't help but think ITV would be a hundred times better for a terestrial contract.

All I`m hoping for now is when I get the dvd from the club it shows it on there

Based on their coverage of F1 i would doubt it to be honest, it wasn`t far off more adverts than laps.

I wouldn`t put it past them to run to an advert in between someone scoring a try and the conversion, they make their money on adverts so they would cram in one at every oppertunity.

We all know it's a protected event so it as to be shown on terrestrial TV but SKY show the FA cup at the same time as the BBC so why do SKY not cover it too ? That way we will have a choice (Eddie and Stevo)

commentary highlights from the game would be

Eddie
"Well as any Wigan and Saints fan will tell you today my moneys on a draw"


Stevo

85th minute of the game
"Let's look again at that chargedown again you can quite clearly see the knock on"

Phil Clarke
uncontrolable crying and the odd comment of Wigans' golden decade

Barry Mac

"you don't have to be a Rocket Surgeon to work out this will affect Huddesfields playoff position" inaudible voice in background followed by Barrie Mac again
"Challenge cup?, since when?"

BBC weren't that bad, of course they could have done better but SKY are very good at showing sport events because thats what they do.

Claire Balding is surprisingly good
