I have really enjoyed the coverage on bbc this weekend, the commentary is so much better than sky, as is the presenting and Tanya Arnold's interviews. The sport has been painted in a good light and I imagine non league fans have enjoyed it.

I would love to see a few SL games on the beeb on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, the potential audience is huge.

couldn't agree more

Yep, have always enjoyed the beeb and the way they handle the cup games and internationals for that matter.

Commentary was so much better today. I love the excitement that this team brings.

Don't like Robbie Paul's talking whilst amongst the players. But the rest is superior.The current try no try graphic on Sky is poor. Good game all round and Thaler very consistent again

Shockkkkk with the draw.

Agreed. I like how you can hear the video ref too talking through his thinking.

Woods needs getting rid of, he's garbage, Nobby and Jiffy are at times unbearable, Jiffy is annoying because he talks a lot more rubbish than any insightful play and why Noble feels the need to dumb down the sport every single game to explain something so bleedin' obvious even to the non RL fan just grinds my gears.
Kear is by far the better pundit and wouldn't mind Tony Rae bringing in.

Chappers is alright, RHP needs getting shot of, he's utterly without merit to be there and adds nothing. Tanya Arnold and the other pitch side interviewer is fine.
Arnold has been a backbone for the sport for ages and I'd rather see her get more air time.

They try and a paint the game in a positive light, and they usually get people involved who know what they're talking about. It's a refreshing change from the commentators going through every refereeing decision with a fine tooth comb.

Agreed bbc do a better job than sky

When would the beeb show weekly SL games?

Baboons could do a better job than SKY.

Woods had his red and white scarf on today. Ben Barba's poodle.

My only real criticism of the coverage is the insistence on the camera being on a player on the bench (Houghton when sin binned / off injured / Matongo when in the bin) or shots of the coaches WHEN THE GAME IS STILL GOING ON!!!!

Why?

Don't you mean Benny Barba. Really es me off. Just call the guy by his real name.

Made me laugh when he was coming out with phrase like 'sizzling Saints' when they scored a couple of tries before HT.

FFS dave they are playing against 11 men!

Wasn't Benny Barba's best display but will likely put on a masterclass in semi then Wembley tbf

The overall coverage and presentation is good and much better than Sky, even if that’s not hard. However, some of the commentary is unbearable. Dave Woods doesn’t have a clue what he’s on about, Davies talks rubbish. Couldn’t have made it anymore obvious he wanted Wigan to win yesterday. Get rid of those two, RHP and it would be great.

apart form the sound that kept going on and off not bad!!

Sorry mate, Benny Barba's poodle

peacock, chapman, wilkin and tanya are all really good. chapman is actually one of the best anchormen around - his presentation on 5 live is always worth a listen. radford was good yesterday too, and with FC now out we may see him again, some good one liners along with a coaches perspective on the major incidents

It’s so refreshing.

I like Chappers. My Dad does work (joiner) for him at his house and says he’s a cracking fella who’s dead enthusiastic and does his homework on the sport.

They change up their punditry team and the viewing is so much better for it, especially having current coaches and players, makes a huge difference! Different voices instead of the same old- same old.

Dave Woods is okay, the good thing is he’s played the game so he’s good to go off and doesn’t court for controversy all the time.

The regulars are insightful and provide detailed tactical and technical punditry. Peacock is good, Nobbie is enthusiastic and Jiffy (although sometimes a bit old fashioned in his views) comes out with some very intelligently technical analysis - take the Connor out-on-the-full kick today and hear what he had to say...

BBC is better than Sky but it is difficult not to be, Woods is dire, Davies’ irritating whine is hard on the ears and he is past his SBD, I have never appreciated the need for Hunter Paul’s input.

Yeah you could tell when he first got the gig he didn't know that much about RL but has done his homework on it. Pretty similar to Clare Balding before him.

I think I've read that Chapman used to be a big Wigan fan, and watched Hull during his student years, so he's no stranger to the sport.

Wilkin is the worst part about their coverage for me.
