We haven't had any shout down here yet. It gets broadcast for the first time in the London area at 2.30 am tomorow morning. Anyway, thanks for flagging up that it's worth recording for once!

It's online live in Kingston (not upon Hull) anyway.

Forgot to mention it used to be available on the "red button" (to view at one's leisure for two to three days after the weekend) for the first few weeks of this season, but this facility seems to have mysteriously evaporated.

I'm glad that you've said that because I thought it was just me, forgetting for some reason how to operate the red button. I went to look for it last week but there was no sign and yet it is still advertised as being on the red button.

Yeh it's on live (same time) via the website as it is broadcast in the UK, just hit the Rugby League section of BBC Sport and there will be a red button, then it comes onto the IPlayer after it has been show as stupid o'clock monday morning.

Damn stupid that. I wonder what's going to happen when The North goes digital? (We in The North West will be digital by Christmas apparently)


Oh yes. You get a goodly slice of the action. But it isn't one of the best shows as it's only 45 minutes. The BBC are nothing if not consistent in being disrespectful to their rugby league loving licence fee payers.

Telly's in the south will go POP

Having had an early night I then woke up about 2am and couldn’t get back to sleep, so I actually watched the show live. Our game got a decent amount of coverage, but at the end Harry, frowning slightly and sounding mildly perplexed, turned to Iestyn and said “They’re not a bad side Harlequins, are they?” (He’d been positively beaming after Crusaders win against Wigan was shown.) Iestyn then responded with the theory that “They’re a difficult side to play against because they don’t have much travelling support, so if they get on top there’s a lull in the atmosphere.” Anything to avoid admitting we actually have good players who perform well as a team then?

Whilst we got the usual "Harlequins are a very tough team to play against...blah blah blah" when they then went back to "see some of the action" it wasn't to marvel at our tries, but to watch HKR drop the ball
Why is it, that even when they try to praise us, it still looks like we only won because HKR "may be feeling the affects of the Challenge Cup loss"????

Anyway, leeds up next! They were lucky to get the win v Hudds with the intercept pass that was thrown not really being required. If we can keep it tight in the middle (how well is LMS playing at present?), we can do the double over the champions and really lay down a marker to the rest of SuperLeague!

Interesting to see they also re-wrote history. Appearently Bentham actually went to the screen for the Stanley Gene try and KR msut have been disappointed! Just goes to show that they don't actually watch the game when they add the commentary!

Because the BBC are stuck in the past when rugby league was a Northern Game, keeping those awful Northern working class people off the streets. It isn't anything to do with Quins; it's just that they can't get their head around the idea that people from elsewhere in the country may actually enjoy and - shock, horror! - play rugby league. I'm just hoping that Quins make it impossible for the BBC to continue justifying that position.

I hope you do.
