It seems pretty obvious what people want for the show.
Nationwide coverage, regular timeslot in the evenings. Easy.
Change of presenter?
Barry McKenzie has only ever watched the 'Superleague show' once.... and that was only because it came on one night after I had stayed up late to watch a movie. I'm living in London now and I saw it???
Unless it runs a different format each week I can honestly say it was the most boring show I've ever had the misfortune to watch.
It consisted of some bloke (who I'd never head of) asking Kevin Sinfield (a player who with no disrespect meant is hardly the most captivating of people) a heap of questions about how other Superleague clubs are getting on whilst showing a few tries. I seriously think I fell asleep before the end.
As Barry McKenzie said earlier in this thread most people who like to regularly watch Rugby League in the UK and follow a team will have a skysports subscription because its the only place to watch RL... apart from the occassional challenge cup game and the odd international.
The BBC know this... so why will they bother changing the format of the superleague show or moving it to some prime time slot when sky provide better coverage?
