Both commentaries were poor today (as was the overall presentation)
Matt Newsum frequently getting things wrong, The Leeds Rhinos lass chatting rubbish and constantly stuttering, The other lass at the Fev game waffling and not keeping up with play, and vastly experienced Dave Woods relegated to a glorified statto.
Add to that, commentary was being done remotely, so when the feed went down just before half time in the Fev game, the commentators had no idea what was going on.
I had a headache after 5 minutes of that Fev Bradford game!
I don’t see why west Wales were being bigged up as much either, yes we know they are trying to improve and increase the Welsh game but just focus on what was happening in that 80 minutes which was some good performances from our lads

Because BBC exposure is extremely rare for them (as it is for us at this level but we will generally get more media coverage in the Championship). WWR won't be on TV again this year.
I agree that the commentary was poor, the woman said 'yer know' before every sentence, and as said talked too much for a summeriser which was her role. I expect however that the BBC will use her again.
Great, free viewing of Sunday’s game against Whitehaven.
According our our website the Featherstone/Bradford is being re-run on Saturday!

On the Sportsman channel. Watched Sheffield v York on it Friday, quite good coverage and replays.

Who does the commentary FC/Martin?
Sorry JB, I can’t remember who was the main commentator but he was adult assisted by John Kear.
Agh .. ably assisted !
The games are also on YouTube and Facebook.
I've set YouTube up on my sky box to follow the sportsman YouTube channel to make it easier to watch the game on TV rather than via a website.
I watched some of the York game on the sportsman and the coverage was good.
far better than that dross the BBC served up yesterday.
Will it be the BBC cameras that film the match no matter which one you watch, or Our League. And will any of them be able to show replays of tries or other important passages of play?

Sportsman had multiple angles and replays for York game
Our League had two cameras and replays for those games

DJ, is that easy to do?
Yes, very easy.
You have register an account with YouTube, which I did on my phone.
Then go to apps on the sky box (ours is sky q so not sure if it works with the older boxes) and start the YouTube app.
Then had to link the app to the account on the phone or you can login using an email address.
Once that's done, I searched for The Sportsman in YouTube and subscribed to the channel, just to make it quicker to get to.
Once that's done, next time you start the app, you go to subscribed channels, and find the video you want to watch and select it. I think I went to the section with rugby League videos and it shows up there ready for Sunday. Just do the same when the match goes live.
Still waiting for coverage to start - anyone on yet ?
