I have been watchly more ESL now that it is on Ch 9 at a civilised hour. What catches me as strange is that many of the post match interviews with players are of players who are Aussies. I also watched a couple ESL stories on the SkySports website which had a promo clip regarding Millenium Magic in Scotland with a player from every team in Scotland to promote it (mostly Aussie players) and the players interviewed were Cameron Phelps, Lincoln Withers and some Kiwi.
I thought it strange until I heard Gareth Ellis interviewed after the Wests Tigers beat Canberra and I had to concentrate on what he was saying so I could understand it due to the thick accent.
I know RL wants to make a big push into the south of England so are they deliberately letting Aussies do the talking because they want to get rid of any stereotypes Londoners may have of RL when they hear thick north England accent or are Aussie players such big stars over there that it's just common sense to interview them ahead of the locals.
