Each shows one (or more) matches en route to the Final and then they both show the Final itself.<br/> <br/> I'd he happy with that - more happy if BBC lost the contract but the Final is one of those 'Listed' matches th...

<t>Another match with no Thaler. Someone up there is seeing sense.<br/> <br/> Wasn't it him who cocked up big-time in Widnes v Wakey?<br/> <br/> Genuine question - I thought he gave Wakefield advantage after a Wakey knock-on and then failed to bring it back when the advantage was lost.
