I think it is a great idea, they said on the forty20 podcast that Monday night 8pm is the third best TV slot for live sports. It will pull in a big audience as there is no wendyball for people to watch. Hopefully they will see what a great product Super League is and continue to watch, maybe even go along to a game.

As for the travelling aspect, this argument rubs my wick a bit. Championship clubs have had to travel across the Pennines on Thursday nights for years, likewise Super League fans travel across the motorway on Friday after work when the roads are at their busiest with people going away for the weekend. Most of the Monday games are local affairs, only takes 20 minutes for most of our fans to drive up the road to St Helens.

I think as RL fans we take a lot for granted, away games being one of them. Sky are showing here that they are serious about our sports, the games will be on SS1 and in 3D, which alone will pull in the viewers as people want to make the most of their expensive 3D telly/subscription. A few people won't be able to make it, but I am sure it will pretty much balance out with the people who wouldn't be able to go on a Saturday. Lets just enjoy the sport!

Them Catalans are going to have a mission on getting to work on Tuesday morning.

Surely they'll be able to come up on the coach and make it back in a day. I think there was a thread about this a while ago.

Should have seen Franck Ribery on Tuesday night. I'm amazed he is able to even kick a football without collapsing in a heap, the guy must have the lowest pain threshold in the history of mankind - either that or he's a cheat!

anyone seen that cheat,ashley young and his pathetic dive,,then theres characters such as ronaldo drogba nanni suarez,one reason why i give footy a miss..why not deduct clubs 5 points if there players keep diving thatll sort it out

If he's not chucking himself off on webcam, he's chucking himself on the floor.

Never heard this after Briers faked those stitches against Wigan.

Although the thread seems to have lost its monday night content, I think you are combining your Ashley's? The Young one goes down easily (ooeeer missus) and the other one, Cole, is a web cam tool warrior.

Alas no: www.theoffside.com/leagues/engla ... thing.html The original story was in News of the World (the beacon of truth, I know) but for obvious reasons I can't post that link.

Monday night is fine with me. I remember the days of pre super league and we use to play a few midweek games.
