If you want to watch rugby league on Sky you pay for it,choice is you'res,you pay to watch BBC like it or not.

How many games a year are on because of the CC.

At a guess maybe 8.

Do you really think that is enough?

I don't, which is why I said they should try and restructure the tv deal so that games sky don't cover live can be shown on regular tv.

However 8 games is better than none at all.

If the game has any ambition to grow to say where union is at the moment we need as many people to be able to see our great game.

Had last night's game been on bbc last night we'd have won a load more fans because some of the play from both sides last night was unbelievable.

What is more important to getting people down to watch games, is having a winning team.
If England could beat the Aussies, it would be much better than just having the CC on tele.

Until Shenton got KO'd (which upset the balance of the team) I thought we were the better side to be honest. If England play their hearts out more often people will come.

The one thing we do admire in this country is our teams playing their hearts out win or lose and we definitely hate arrogant winners.

That was a pretty young side we put out and for an hour the did exceptionally well against arguably the most potent back division that the game has ever seen. There's reason for optimism
