Just awful and an embarrassment to the sport, turned off after 25 minutes.

Don't know we're all this cringeworthy stuff is coming from, or criticising accents.

I enjoyed it and reckon the team who put this together along with Premier sports should be applauded.

Cracking stuff and hopefully there'll be lots more to come.

I enjoyed the show and will watch it again next week

It was their first effort on a shoe-string budget. The Footy Show is in their 21st year with a decent budget. Although they did copy a few segments from the FS, it's best not to compare the two really.

In time I'm sure they'll drop what doesn't work and put more effort into the things that did.

The discussion with the Halifax chairman, the lad from the Harry Potter films and the referree/Mick Morgan discussion I enjoyed.

For the 'it does the game no favours' people, realistically, with it being on Premier Sports, how many non-RL fans would be able to watch it anyway?

Is any of this online anywhere? Have seen the radio show videos and been to one of their social club nights.

Surely this should be called Rugby PM, I know they are copying of Soccer AM but that is on in the morning!

I don't think the name will make any difference though, as it was probably the most amature TV show I've seen since the late 70s!

I don't understand why a sport needs a comedy programme, leave it to the people paid to do that sort of thing and stick to rugby league.

I think the 'am' is in reference to the radio frequency their show is on, rather than the time of day.

Did you actually watch it? The majority of the show was talking about RL.

Reminiscent of Acorn Antiques, but without the humour.

They broadcast on FM though?

Just watched it - extremely amateurish, which I understand is partly down to budget and production, but was also due in part to the presenters, some of whom were clearly struggling.

What I think will limit the audience, is the overall laddishness; too many borderline homophobic jibes and a general feel of changing room banter; having Chev Walker's Mrs in the studio wasn't really an antidote to that.

All that said, I think there's room for something like this; if they can get some money, a decent main presenter and some better content, it could work.

Just think yourself lucky & leave it that, but then again you might just like it, if you’re into car crash TV.

I watched a bit of it this morning on PS.
