Quote ="SaintsFan"Well, given that both Stevo and Baz backed you, and Eddie didn't commit himself, I think it's right that ole Clarkey tips everyone else. Otherwise they may get inundated with emails they don't respond to on Boots'n'All saying that they are unfair, biased and such like, when we all know they are learned, astute and objective individuals to a man.'"
It's not balance it's Clarke launching his annual 'anyone but Leeds, think of the children' campaign.
Good luck to him, it must be uncomfortable wearing a suit and tie over his full Saints kit.

| Things you can gurantee to hear on sky commentary.
Steveo's tactics - "They should try something different, like a chip over the top" or a minute into the game "Time to go for the one pointer" and every play in rugby is "Good basic rugby league football." Steveos common phrases include "Claret" "Superb" (pronounced ssseuperb) "_insert coaches name here_ will be furious!" an old classic was "They have completely lost the plot"
Eddie - has no clue about the game so just agrees with everyone. Also gets told to ask awkward questions to coaches, how many times did he ask Bluey how Leeds were going to pick the side in two weeks time? You could tell Bluey was getting annoyed and couldn't wait to get away from the inane questions.
Clarke - So by this random stat that makes Wigan the best club in the league, aparently they are the best side in the leage at scoring in the first 10 mins of the second half, wigan have scored 20 but only conceeded 6 in that period. Its a shame they cant score for the rest of the match Clarkey or they might be higher in the league. Here is a stat for you Clarke, Wigans last GF secuess [size=1501998[/size! Stop tipping them every year to make it and win it!

Not to mention the now statutory "Leeds are spending too much time back chatting to the referee, blah, blah, blah, blah", even when nobody is actually talking to the referee.

It doesn't get mentioned when most other teams do it either!!
Another favourite is "he doesn't look 100% fit to me".

| Best one of the weekend:
"Ade Gardners kick returns really are fantastic".
At that point I switched it off and fed the rabbit.

| The great thing about Leeds' signings in recent years is that, whilst there are a few that can be singled out as huge successes (Senior, Harris, Peacock) There are also loads of "lesser signings" that have really paid off - Leuluai, Donald, Lauititi, Ellis, Bai (despite the CC Final blunder), Webb, Furner to name just a few. Kirke has also not let anyone down, and I still think Toopi did a good job for us, when fit and playing with confidence. The really great thing is that it' a lot harder to think of signings over the past few years that haven't worked out - since the year of Mullins & Clyde we've hardly made any duff signings. The only one that really springs to mind is Mark O'Neill, and we'll never know if he'd have ben any good if he'd not have got injured. So, whilst the usual suspects can definitely lay a claim to "best signing", there are many others that warrant a mention too. I personally think that lauititi has been one of our best signings, as, when fit there's no one else in super league who can make the plays he can, as he showed on Friday night.

Shane Millard is the only other signing of recent times that didn't seem to be much kop IMO and some of the 'lesser' signings you name are international standard players that have been real successes for Leeds

| Apologies re the ambiguity of the word "lesser". I wouldn't class Ellis as a lesser signing either, but as the only signings mentioned in the "best ever" category were Senior, Harris & Peacock, I was referring to the likes of Ellis and all the other internationals as being lesser signings than those mentioned previously. All depends on the interpretation of the word lesser - it may be acceptable to say that Ellis, overall, has been a lesser signing than either of Harris, Peacock and Senior, but that doesn't in any way suggest he was anything other than a great signing.

| If we were lucky enough to win a third Grand Final on the trot I don't know what I would derive more joy from. The thought of all those Saints players shrivelling and squirming with jealous rage....OR....the thought of Phil Clark throwing a hissy fit and resigning from Sky Sports because 'IT NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT COMPLEMENTING LEEDS IN MY XXXXING CONTRACT!'. How good would it be, when being goaded by workmates, wind up merchants and opposition fans to look them in the eye and simply answer...3
