IS this future of broadcasting rugby league in Australia?

Thanks to Fox Sports' groundbreaking broadcasting tool, fans can live every tackle, try, conversion and pep talk with their favourite players in the NRL, and Matty Johns believes the game will benefit from players being miked-up.

"It is where the game's going and I urge all clubs to do it," Johns said on Sterlo.

"All the guys here at Fox Sports gave the Panthers a list and nothing went to air that would embarrass the club.

"If we're talking about selling the game and bringing more revenue into the game and the game (moving forward), they're some of the things we just have to do."

Fox Sports miked-up Penrith skipper Kevin Kingston for last weekend's round 20 encounter against the Sharks.

Every word that Kingston uttered to his teammates, opponents and referees was recorded by the Fox Sports NRL production team, giving an incredible and unique insight into defensive and attacking tactics, communication and the running of set plays.

The audio and video provides a unique insight into every detail of not just what an NRL player experiences but a captain in the toughest competition in the world.

It's a no-brainer according to Johns, who believes the NRL should take full advantage of the on-field mic and follow in the foot steps of some of the world's biggest sports.

"The NFL have been doing it for a long time, all of their players are miked-up. They don't have the ability to do it during the live game, but they do it during the post-match show," he said.

"If all of a sudden the quarterback starts talking to the tight-end and they put on a special play, they've got the ability after to turn it up and listen to what was said."
