Quote Trevork52="Trevork52"Contrary to what most seem to think the most recent episode with Oli Holmes and the piece about the England Lions PNP tour was good! Given that there is absolutely feck all abour Rugby League on main stream TV, along with Backchat, its got to be better than nowt at all! Give it a chance! (OK another one!)'"
I completely agree and cant believe the snobbery of "some" RL fans when it comes to Rugby AM. The state that RL is in at the moment, I dont think we have the option to be picky.
So far this series weve had, Ellery (GOAT). Where else are we getting to see Ellery speak about the game and his career?
Weve had Robinson. Where else are we getting to see him speak about the game?
Access to players like Holmes which gives a little bit of an insight into their lives and careers.
A really, really interesting documentary on the Knights tour to PNG where if it wasnt for Rugby AM and JJB we wouldnt get to see what goes into something like this and the life changing experience it presents to the young players. Something many of us will never experience.
So its not the best presented or best produced material on TV, but so what. Its giving me, an RL tragic, a little insight into areas of the game i find interesting. No one else is doing it.
Along with all the podcasts that various folk are doing I can only see things like Rugby AM as a positive for the game. I bet the amateur lads that are getting the chance to play in televised games arent grumbling. I bet Jamaica RL arent grumbling from the little bit of publicity its giving them.
As the old adage goes. If you think you can do better then do it.
I bet you cant.
