| Quote: Thelonius "What could be simpler than televising two games over the weekend with the televised Sunday game finishing at the same time, or slightly later, than the other games. They could then perform the draw live in the studio and get reasoned and sensible contributions from the studio guests and maybe the winning coach and players too.
[sizeEven the RFL could cope with warming or cooling the appropriate balls at short notice[/size ![]()
Although, the RFL can't make the BBC screen a 2nd game, nor can they force them to extend the programme to screen the draw. What the RFL could do is ensure the game is popular enough to encourage the BBC to want to. But it seems we are now in a vicious circle - declining popularity leading to declining interest from media leading to declining popularity. Going to take vision and leadership to pull RL out of this mess, not qualities in abundance at the RFL, sadly.

The draw will work like this
seems simple enough

What a mess at every level of the game, SL, academy, amateur and junior.
You should see the genius idea about the mini game. You couldn't make it up.

i wouldn't be surprised if this game isn't running in ten years, we're going to implode.
We'll innovate ourselves to death.

I agree with this, I don't think people who aren't RL fans are going to be watching TV/listening to the radio, see/hear the draw and think "I might go and watch that!". |

Shsh. Don't give them any ideas.
So the draw's on Saturday between 7 and 9. What idiot decided on that.
I think the draw on national TV is a good idea. You want to expose what's going on in our game to as many people as possible. But if we can't, then the next best idea would be to do the draw on North West/Yorkshire local Tele or even the radio.
The thing is though, it should be consistent. Either after the matches on Sunday or probably better, on a Monday Evening. Do that for every round and everyone knows where they stand.
To have the last round's draw, midday on a Monday afternoon on National Radio. Presented by someone who has no interest in the sport and turns it into a laughing stock, to this round, presented by god knows who, at god knows what time on a Saturday morning. Who is coming up with this?
What next? The semi final draw done at 4am on a Thursday morning on North Norfolk Digital Radio. Saying that, Partridge would fit right in but he doesn't work the early shift any more.
