Wakefield Trinity • 1895 Cup Final to be televised at last !!
I enjoyed the coverage, as I couldn't get down on Saturday.
(had a heart op been waiting 6 months for, so couldn't really cancel it. Although i was tempted!)
The only slight disappointment with the Superleague+ coverage, was that the only microphone sounded like kit was 2 inches away from the commentators. And as such, didn't really pick up the crowd atmosphere. Which was shame as it sounded great (albeit very muffled on the feed).
There were a few moment thoughs, when even the rubbish microphone picked up a great noise
The roar as Walmsley rang the length of the pitch. Goosebump material.
and "nah, nah nah, nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah, Wa-ke-field"
Superb.
One other unrelated point. The commentators mentioned a great try in the previous 1895 final, for Batley v Halifax. He said it was one of the greatest Rugby League tries of all times. I thought he was going a bit OTT, me being a novice and never having seen it before.
They were right, you know. What a try! And in the last seconds of the match
1m 44s from these highlights:
