i wonder how much praise he would have laid at Saints feet last night if they had won the hubcap, hardly any was given to Wigan

And you are surprised???? We did get praised for not leaving early. You expect tooooo much. Next you will be wanting us to sign Ah Van....

Better to go and leave early than not go at all.

He must have been pointing towards Billinge…

Just watching the coverage back from last night, and after a really good interview by Brian Carney with Sam and Bradley Wiggins, we cut back to the studio, where Eddie announces the Sacred Heart choir singing "Grandma We Love You". I'm just totally speechless about how crass and pathetic that comment is, and it's a lot worse than biased comments about teams or players.

It really is time for a change.

What bothers me is theyre terrible but the bbc are even worse.

I hope they start more initiatives like Sams on now we need more people who know what they're talking about sadly sky won't get rid because I don't think there's anyone else I mean Clarke? What a tool carney should have taken over from wiggy by now though I think.

Bill Arthur is by far the best RL commentator Sky have.

Faint praise given the opposition.

Oh, I thought you were joking

You think Wiggy is better???????

It was Wiggys comments when wigan were presented the shield, what was it he said? "its a bit sour lifting the shield when saints have won? What a prize whopper he is. Even when they interviewd OLockers they tried to tell him not to enjoy it because saints had won. How disrespectful can you get? Wigan have finished top of the league because they have been the best team since February but you wouldnt have known because wiggy and co didnt congratulate them once. Sky you had better do something about this

I was made up listening to him commentate on the Catalans - Bradford game. Makes a big difference to the show when that idiot isn't talking nonsense over the action.

Watched it back today, as soon as he said the 8,000 Saints fans, could not believe it, until you watch it back and listen you don't realize how anti Wigan bias there is, keep winning keep them jealous, the strange thing is we give them the product they want, i.e. last night full ground great atmosphere but they hate us, very strange.

It's about time that SKY put this buffoon out to pasture, an embarassment to the sport and the players who put their bodies on the line to entertain us.

Wasn't he the one who basically told Olockers not to celebrate winning the league leaders trophy because saints had beaten them? He and the whole sky team are tools. What annoys me more is Phil Clarke never wants to back up wigan, i dont get that-- hes way too polite for an ex player. Carney always sticks the knife in too. The ozzie commentators are in a different league and since there are so many of them they lend us a few

Not seen the recording yet - sounds like I'll be throwing anything not stuck down at the tv listening to that prat. I don't mind Stevo so much but since watching superleague back chat don't see the face for radio in the same light any more, Clakey seems like he is trying to be neutral and I agree with you about Carney who always sounds bitter about Wigan and getting any compliments out of him is like pulling hen's teeth. The Oz commentators are totally different - don't stuff their own opinions down everyone's throat, aren't screaming 'that should have been a penalty' every two minutes and certainly don't bore the pants of you by calling every other player an Aussie International. Watching the Bradford Catalan match this afternoon was so much easier to watch with a non invasive commentary.
Has anyone emailed Sky and if so what email addy is it?
Salford Wakefield match has just started and he's praising the crowd there! What a plank.

Dont think sky will ever get shut of Wiggy of Baldy but what they could do is to offer the interactive button with 3 options 1. wiggy comentating, 2, Just the crowd noise, 3, radio coverage . I mean if the BBC can do it surely super tech Sky can

And guess why there is an empty stadium, because of them, great advert for the sport of Rugby League, and Salford fans do not blame you one bit, you have been well and truly shafted.

Wiggy's Co Muppet actually said something sensible for a change on Friday.


I didn't record it, so can't quote exactly, but it was along the lines of "There should be an incentive for the winners of the LLS... perhaps they should automatically go straight through to the GF?"

BBC have radio though, SKY don't....

And who wants to listen to just crowd noise? Might as well just mute.

Most weeks at the DW it's pretty much the same thing anyway.

He never said anything of the sort, although I guess people hear what they want to if they think the world is against them.

I did think that this thread was bitter and twisted thinking the whole world world is against us, but was surprised at Hemmings' comment before tonight's Salford game to the effect that Saints had p-ssed all over our league leaders celebrations, no need at all for that comment, as it just ain't correct.

Did he really say that? Should be severly reprimanded if he did if not given the boot. Seen people in media sacked for less.
