- Why No Ashes?
I have listened to a few of these shows and it’s decent for Super League coverage. But why has there been no previews or reaction to any of the Ashes tests? Sky Sports News completely ignored it and it seems that Sky Sports’ flagship RL podcast ignores it too. A very strange editorial decision from Sky Sports to give the international game no coverage whatsoever.

United Kingdom8 months ago - Great show – excellent hosts & guests
Love this podcast – it provides a unique insight into the key issues of the game. Really well done for getting the Saints chairman on– I learned a lot about the financial position facing the league. Saints fans (of whom I am one) owe Eamonn huge amount of gratitude for making the new stadium happen and keeping the club afloat and competitive.
