what do you mean there's someone out there who's better than eddie and stevo,
who actually knows who is who and can actually be humerous - not having it.
Also what an embarrassment Sky are in relation to the RL world cup - hours and hours of the RU autumn internationals ans minimal coverage of the world cup.
No wonder they can't get sponsorship
As far as I am aware, Sky made a very good offer to show all RL World Cup matches, this was turned down because the powers that be actually believed the BBC would show all matches when they put their offer in, and when BBC weren't interested in all matches they went back to Sky, cap in hand, but Sky had by now relocated the money elsewhere, so it has ended up on some 2 bit Irish channel!
I was not aware of the media coverage issues leading up to the RLWC and stand corrected.
I have to add however that I was pleased we were spared the over the top razzamatazz that has to be there in all sport Sky tv cover. Some would say the 'softer approach' to coverage of this competition has given gravitas and increased respect for the greatest game. I recognise that occasionally there have been unfortunate breaks in coverage but for me the presentation is perfectly pitched.
I admit to being sceptical in all Sky are about having never been able to forgive them for the part they have played in the what I see as their disregard of heartland history within Rugby League in their quest to spread the gospel of Sky to the masses.
