Aussie comedian Adam Hills isn’t joking when he says the Premier League needs to get itself a Grand Final.
TV star Hills, a massive rugby league fan, has been leading Channel 4 ’s coverage of the Betfred Super League this season. It’s the first time the competition has been shown on free-to-air television in its 26-year history. The coverage, largely on Saturday lunchtimes, has been a big hit.
And the latest live game to be shown in their 10-match deal is Sunday’s battle between champions St Helens and Castleford. Super League’s play-offs series is fast approaching and Channel 4 will show one of those every Saturday as the race for Old Trafford hots up. Hull KR, Leeds and Hull are all currently on the outside of the top-six but still have burning ambitions to make it with six games remaining.
