Are you comparing the two main games with what we saw last year, or all games? There are two different production levels this year. The main SKY games seem to be about the same to me. The extra games weren't covered at all last year, so can't have worse production value?

I don't honestly know, just a few games I've watched, Wigan Hudds being one of them. The replays were pretty erratic and seemed to miss a fair bit of the action. The score and clock went off for a period as well.

I think that was one of the non-main matches. Definitely done by an inexperienced producer IMO.

I've never seen such poor production value for sports though. Even when Wimbledon is on and they have nearly every court being filmed, if you watch a match on one of the more obscure courts, it's still very watchable. Seems a bit crappy that our sport is being used to give experience to producers giving us a worse product.

That being said, it's better we can see the games than not, I'd take watching a slightly worse product over not being able to watch it at all
