I'll be interested in seeing the viewing figures when they come out, to compare with average Friday and Saturday figures.

I can see why they are trying the Monday night game but wouldn't there be more viewers Saturday at 3pm or tea time kick offs?

More importantly, there'd be more fans on the terraces at those times.

If think the Sky team is bad?, what about the BBC, they only have Ray French on to try and make Rugby Union look better...Tha's a thought, what if Sky, or the BBC had a show were people from both codes had and argument
about which code was best..What could the jolly old school ties say?. No contest!!!

I like the idea of a Monday game for TV audiences, I just wish it was as well as a Saturday Sky game rather than instead of it. I think attendances at the ground will be affected, especially for the less glamorous games (our vs Widnes for example), but it is something that should be persevered with, most big sports leagues have a Monday night slot.

The disciplinary panel sat today. Sinfield's out come was no charge. Makinson off balance due to other tackler and Sinfield didn't use a swinging arm.

So it does look like they are going to do two lots of panels (on Monday and Tuesday) and if any tribunals are required, doing them on Tuesday and Wednesday - only in RL. Is it really so difficult to do a panel on Tuesday morning and then tribunals on Wednesday evening?

My thoughts exactly
