Greg Mulholland is Lib Dem mp for Leeds North West.

Considering the patriotic element of the RLWC, & the BBC claiming to be the torch bearer for worldwide broadcasting , we should really expect BBC blanket coverage of the event on a par with football of both sexes ,tennis, athletics, snooker & rugby union & any other sport that is not called Rugby League !



Maybe a well timed letter to our respective MPs would help to concentrate the minds of BBC bosses.

Wow !



Could you imagine the vitriol on these forums if Cameron was to present the RLWC to England, even after we'd thrashed them in the final.

The mere mention of Rugby League by people outside RL in the media or on a public stage and people getting hard?

They should get him to turn up to PMQs in an England top.

Too late. All the BBC have got is; "For this year's tournament, there will be live TV and radio coverage of all England's group games, plus a quarter-final, a semi-final and the final." That makes, what(?), seven games in total? Seven out of twenty-eight...a quarter or, in other words, a joke.



Premier Sports have every one of the twenty-eight and how many people in the general public have PS? I'm guessing not many at all. So the opportunity to get our game out there to he public will not happen with this WC.

Caveman that really is abysmal. I haven't got PS so that will me not seeing most of the games.

Those idiots at the RFL wouldn't have the brains to even try and organise anything with Cameron. The clueless idiots.

Bah, bet the RU lot could get Obama to eat fried chicken out of their World Cup for promo purposes.

Why not get PS for the tournament then?



I would have thought that for top class international sport people would sign up to PS and that would be a signal to other TV providers that RL is a sport that people want to watch.

great britain beat france in the final not australia

No thanks.
