Apparently the "pundits" aren't happy with the amount of post game TV time they are getting to show their expertise, even with the 15 minute move from 8pm to 7.45pm to accommodate the video ref. Expect it to become the norm, especially once we get to the business end of the season.

Now I’m even more worried then... are they expecting to analyse a lot of tries against us?

On a lighter note, many have complained that the coverage is dumbed down and could do with more intelligent analysis rather than the usual cliche-ridden flat cap comments. Can only be a positive if Wells and Carney are helping highlight why we are so pants.

and the game over cos widnes will be out of sight

It’s because a newspaper article in the I last year said RL doesn’t get column inches the morning after a game because the games finish too late.

Isn't that why they changed to 745 though? What's the reasoning for the extra 10 minutes?

Mmm. Aviva Premiership 2018 fixtures seem to have 19:45 kick offs.

Is sky going for extended coverage of kabbadi ?

Giving them time to find the ball first.

The move to 7.45 had nothing to do with the next day media, it was because of games finishing late do to decisions constantly going to the video ref. The extra 10 minutes is because SKY thing there will be stuff to talk about after the game so want to create an extra buffer. Expect our game V Wigan to move to 7.35 as well, and possibly the Saints game. 10 minutes is the maximum amount of time that kick-off can be changed at such short notice and still comply will all the relevant licensing requirements .

The irony. We have scored our only points so far in the 10 mins that the game was bought forward.
