Premier Sports are offering the NRL finals up to and including the GF for £1 if you get it before 13th Sept. Very good deal.
Backchat remains the only magazine RL programme and also remains an old boys group where very little happens. It also contains self congratulatory and full-time player critic Schoey! So on the face of it barely anything to recommend it to anyone.
In the latest one they managed to describe the CC final as "..not the greatest of games..." and to laud and congratulate the Leigh chairman for spending his own money to achieve success.
Now the CC final even had Aussies saying how good it was but English pundits use "..not the greatest of games..." and why applaud Derek Beaumont for what you've done nothing but criticise MK for?
What does everyone think of these two things and the programme if they saw it?

The deal is a great one.
The NRL finals are always entertaining with some real good RL on show. There's some decent Aussie magazine shows on there, but you're right about backchat. It's awful. Anything with Gary 'Mr Creosote' Schoefield on it is obviously scraping the barrel. It's also, like most things in British RL, terribly Yorkshire biased.

I have the £9.99 deal for Premier, occasionally they have a brain fart and broadcast half a game but when you email about it you get the next month free, Rabs, Stirlo, Gus G and the rest show what Sky can only dream of.

I have the same deal and agree about Rabs etc and Vassy of course! I noticed you didn't mention Backchat but I've suspected for a while you were on the panel.

Backchat.
God no they have that fool Schofield on so I can't even risk it coming on or my TV screen is in danger of getting a size 12 through it.
What gets me about the NRL coverage is that Gus G is more balanced when Penrith are on, Darren Lockyer/Wally Lewis are more subjective towards Brisbane or the NZ presenters are more impartial when the Warriors are playing than our mob are on Sky ever are.

Yeah I like the NZ commentators myself but then I've been subjected to Jack Dearden for far too long so I'd appreciate more or less any alternative.
