what the opinion on the coverage of this program. dont get me wrong im glad there is NOW a rugby league program eventhough its not nationwide, but it alway seems to me to be a old mans program. nothing special just c*&p from scofield mouth and Grayson has he ever actually watched a match, the commentary at times is so boring! it great lying in bed watchin wigan beat stains tho! lol

Harry Gration is a total cretin who's about as interesting to watch as dry paint. You can criticise Eddie and Stevo but at least there's some life there; to look at Gration you'd think our sport is still in the 1970's and completely irrelevant and out-of-touch in the modern era. I stumble across this show occasionally, difficult since it occupies a different time slot each week, but it just comes across as a yokels show for a yokels sport and does nothing to attract new or young fans to RL. Whoever taught Gration to interview people should be embarressed as well, I remember him once saying to Robbie Paul "Your brother Henry's a good player, isn't he?" - as if Robbie's going to sit there on live tv and say "no, he's cr@p and I don't know how he gets in the team". Good insightful stuff, I don't think. They should let Claire Balding have a go instead, she's one of the few on the BBC who seems to have taken a genuine interest in the sport despite not being brought up in an RL region and that might send a message out to the ignorant south that RL's not all flat caps and whippets.

Sundays on BBC2, sometime between 6am and 6pm. It's the only thing us non-Sky folk can see, and even then I think I'd rather watch Songs of Praise or the test card (do they still have that?) instead.
