"They've gotta run really haaaard"

Great, cheers for that insight Tez.

Why the. do we have to listen to this. numbskull?

CAncelling sky sports after tonight, the amount of cut aways during the game is ruining any possible flow far more than any mistakes by the teams.

I had a moan on Twitter and suggest everyone on here does. Their coverage is utterly pathetic. Ignoring the fools they have presenting it, it's the highlights from the other non-televised game that does my head in. If they are so keen on showing the Warrington romp versus Cas, why not just televise that game instead of the Leeds one? It was pathetic, constantly cutting to every try they scored and at one point preventing the viewers seeing Leeds score a try that was ultimately disallowed. That is what the half time break should be used for. I'd go as far as saying I'd prefer the margin meter to come back than that.

That's one way of getting a 50% discount on your subscription for 12 months plus a credit of £50 without even having to haggle.

Or... you could just get rid of it replace it with premier sports with quality commentary superior product and watch it for a whole year for what sky want a month and not have to listen to any of the muppets.

With the cameras already at the match why dont sky give a choice of match like the BBC do some times with some sports and show trys at half time at the other game then if you want to watch you have a choice of games

this!
i actually turned the Leeds-Saints game off because it was doing my head in, cutting to Warrington every 3/4 minutes, i know it's not usually like that as it seemed Cas bent over for Wire but do we need to see every try scored while there is a live match going on? it's ridiculous, just show ONE game and keep updating the scores for the others FFS!

oh and while i'm at it, is it any wonder Wire fans get a bit frustrated, how many times last night did Hemmings and Clarke say this year looks like being Warrington's year, and they look like a team on their way to the grand final etc, either they are in on the joke or they it's just pure muppetry!

This

Always your year stuff was because of Sky.

every year they bigged us up every year we failed and every year other fans used to say good to see the arrogant wire fans knocked down a peg or two, meanwhile during those same seasons (pre Smith) we in the terraces just aimed for a decent playoff place and hoped for solid effort.

We got accused of arrogance over something we had no control over, namely Eddie and Stevo.

exactly, i've got no beef at all with Warrington or their fans, but it's stuff like that , that just sets you all up for a fall, it's disrespectful bordering on unprofessional , it's like them saying "is this the year we finally get rid of Wakefield, every time wakey get battered.

They already cut out a large chunk of the live game by showing replay after replay of what we've just seen while play is going on, or close-ups of the coach watching the game, or when the camera man seems to always find the fat bird in the crowd with a replica top on that's about eight sizes too big and about eight teeth missing!

Just show the game, LIVE, that is supposed to be on. Nowt else!

The numbskull returns. Sake!!!

Did Cas win last night because they "put their hands up" , "turned up" and "ran hard"

awful again from SKY last night, showing a slow mo of Delaney pulling up injured in the warm up while there was something happening on the field, almost missing a clean break by showing a shot of Daryl Powell just sat there doing nothing, not to mention the lack of commentary and the bringing up and analysing almost every decision made.

Exactly, this kind of commentary reinforces a stereotype of our sport as big meatheads running into each other. And they talk about nothing else, just 'big hit' and 'run harder than your opponents' ad nauseam. Jon Wells really is a breath of fresh air, shame we have to wait til the end to hear from him.

Terry O'Connor interviewing Jamie Shaul. TV doesn't get better than this.

I particularly enjoyed O'Connor being completely unaware that Shaul didn't have his own microphone.

"When you go out and play, you usually look at who you're going to play against"

Really Terry? Surely you aren't even that thick?

It's painful listening to his cliche ridden boll^cks. I really liked him as a player and the few times I've spoken to him he seems a nice guy, but he's god-awful as a commentator.

Which one went into a diatribe in the second half about Broughton?

By the time he’d recanted his tale, the set was over.

Every time he opens his mouth to speak he starts or finishes with "Eddie". It's really annoying. He's obsessed with saying either "Big , or powerfull, or strong "

That was Barrie Mac, opining about Broughton's qualification as a quantity surveyor; it tells a story when someone with an education is a thing of wonder.

Imagine him trying to do the same thing with the England RU team?

Couldn't Sky just replace O'Connor with the Churchill dog? They're visually similar but the canine wins hands down when it comes to intelligent conversation.

I like O'Connor as a fella, he is fairly knowledgable about the game, but he's just not a good fit for TV punditry....
I find his tone of voice excruciating.... He always sounds like he's trying really hard to first of all try and hide his accent, then to try and sound intellectual and finally sound sincere in everything he's saying - so he ends up sounding really false... I watched the Leeds game back on TV and felt his tone really made the game seem downbeat and stale... Certainly doesn't whip up an atmosphere or the excitement levels...

Stevo back next week in place of 'Baz and Tez'... praise the lord.
