Who ever needs to see any rugby league player interview an A-grade Hollywood film star?

Nobody.

you know what, i wouldn't mind if they had done this previously with other players, people are saying here, well, we're crying out for attention and publicity for RL.

Why haven't sky tried to do this before, why not try and get some players more exposure by doing some stuff like this? a la the footy show in australia?

Who's to say you couldn't get Richie Myler doing something like this, his better half is in the TV business so i would imagine he's reasonably familiar with her role doing bits to camera. Not everyone in the league sounds like jamie peacock or Chris Joynt.

You're probably right. But the question should be Who ever needs to see any rugby league player interview an A-grade Hollywood film star who is also a massive Rugby League fan?

The answer would be: Other Rugby League fans.



There are plenty of other people than Tomkins who could do these sort of things. The first person I thought of from a Warrington point of view was Myler

I can't believe this post, unless its fishing and I'm a whopper in a 'monsieur' invisble net, but, the answer surely is Everybody?

I Thought Tomkins did a great job to be honest, especially dealing with Eddie making numerous daft comments to him in the first interview.

im hoping for a Peacock guest appearance on question time.

Don't get me onto politics but despite appearances could he do any worse than the clowns supposedly in charge?

I concur. It was a bit incongruous as part of the programme but considering the film is the biggest of the year it is rather heartening to see an RL player there interviewing the stars.

Still not convinced that any of the Warrington players could have done it. Maybe Brett Hodgson who certainly seems the most eloquent. Don't think I have heard Myler talking to the media tbh.

I didn't see the programme, my response was based on the connection between Russell Crowe, the biggest film of the year and possibility of a positive Rugby League connection.

I don't know who we could push in the same manner, but, the more the merrier as long as they do more good than harm. They don't have to be Robert Redford look-alikes just media savvy?

Let's just find some genuine comedian fans to host an RL 'footy show/soccer am' style programme on sky.
Move backchat into Boots and all, use the extra slot for this.
