Anyone watching? Didn't think much to the first episode really. Don't think I learnt anything new.

I watched it, found it quite interesting. Also shows the couple of previews were cleverly framed as if Cam Smith was having a go at RS when he wasn't, and the clip of Bentley post concussion.

The interesting stuff will be RS getting sacked and BA coming in. The general chat about how hopeful all the players were for the season was a bit boring, as we all know how it ended.

Ultimately, we need more of this kind of coverage in RL, so I hope it does really well. You can see NRL teams all doing documentary style content, and it's become the norm in football and American sports. Fair play to the club for giving it a go.

I was a bit bored after 20 minutes to be honest. I get the idea but feels like it should be for a team winning the championship, not finishing 8th.

Whilst it was good to see the players optimistic at the start of the year, knowing we ultimately flopped isn't good. It's a bit like when Leeds used to be a force, I would love re-watching the match the next day whereas I don't think I could have put myself through that last year for any match.

I haven't watched it yet, but I'm glad sky and RL have started to embrace the documentary medium. I'm not a fan of NFL or F1, but the America's game and Drive to Survive documentary series are fantastic. Hopefully, the Spirit of the rhinos documentary will help people interested in the game who may not have considered watching the game before.
