Customer Reviews

Excellent
Rugby League DVD's tend to be a mixed bag. Boots, balls and bellringers was toss. Super League Super Tries wasn't much better. However more recently there have been a couple of decent releases such as the two Great Britain behind the scenes efforts.

This follows in a similar vein. Produced by the guys behind the Super League show, it is a classy production. Great selection of games, including some that you wouldn't have immediately thought about, as well as the obvious 'wide to west' and 31-30 games. The Paris Sheffield one in particular is a belter. Nice links before and after games providing a bit of context, and post match interviews are included. Cullen, Lowes and Morley speak a little bit inbetween, but thankfully not too much.

One little gripe is that for the most recent games they have used the footage from the super league show which has Dave Woods commentating after the event which spoils it a bit. I prefer the Eddie and Stevo manic commentary to set the scene.

All in all though, a quality DVD, and cheap as chips considering it last for nearly three hours.

Top marks.
