Quote ="Superted"Whilst the idea behind the show is good - making the players more accessible, and giving them a platform to show their personalities rather than the usual mundane 'media trained' responses we get after a game or in press conferences etc. However, I have to agree that the way it is presented is poor - I actually find it embarrassing to watch.
It's a shame, because it is a decent idea, and I've no problem with them taking ideas from other successful shows. Everything to do with the presentation is poor - from the basics of screen presence, tone/volume/colloquialism of the presenters, appearance of all (Surely they could have at least got suits that fit them and not the oversized suits) down to the more detailed aspects such as links between segments and timing/handover between presenters.
I appreciate it's being done on a shoestring budget and therefore they probably don't have the luxury of things like auto-cue or proper production, but it makes it car crash tv. It's the rugby league equivalent of Wayne's World...'"
I caught a bit of one today on Premier Sports and they were talking about how this "Rugby AM" had started out etc and the future
It felt so cringe worthy I had to change to something else
