Bet Jon Wilkin was the first to complain.

And as for upsetting scenes, the replay showing Grix' injury was totally uncalled for.
They should be apologising for that.

Massive dummy spit.

I don't recall a replay of the Grix injury. In fact I remember Clarke saying there's no need to see a replay of that.

I wasn't bothered either way about the packing away the shield thing. Now I know enough St Helens fans were so bothered they complained in such numbers to force an apology I find it most amusing. Grow up children.

They showed an initial replay and then no more after it was clear how serious the injury was.

Those complaining Saints fans would have dined out on this all year had it been Wigan.

Take it on the chin and stop bellyaching.

Dummy spit.

They humiliated themselves.

get a grip!
saints blew their big chance and it was amusing, i would have found it amusing had it been my team, sometimes you have to laugh in the face of adversity, being a huddersfield fan for 25 years i have done a lot of laughing in that time!

if anyone found that humiliating then they shouldn't really be involved in the game emotionally.

According to Saints media manager, Sky said they had received a couple of complaints. Hardly "huge" numbers.

Anyone who submitted a complaint needs to walk to the nearest mirror, look themselves in the eye and then punch themselves in the head, really hard.

It was a brilliant, albeit cheesy, moment. I admit if it'd been Wigan I'd have probably muttered 'the cheeky b'strds' under my breath but it was funny as hell. Complaining would never even cross my mind.

Pathetic.

Dummy spit. There are many teams who would love the chance to have the LLS at their ground and packed up. Mine included.

Saints fans never bothered over the years when wire were Crap and for whatever reason sky kept seeing fit to air it and show us getting tore a new , that was pretty humiliating for a good 8 years, 3 times a season

"Look at Warrington, aren't they pathetic"

I find the people outraged by the footage just as funny as the footage itself. Keep it coming!

So they've issued a public apology on the basis of a couple of complaints?

I'm going to complain about eddie and stevo, get them sacked.

They offend me.

I was sat in the stadium and saw it on the big screen and I was laughing, quality comedy I thought.

As said if i were a Saints fan I might not have been too happy, but I'd have been even more unhappy at my teams performance.
There's also a little bit of hypocrisy from the few fans who complained. As I bet they didn't complain when the shield was shown earlier in the game being unpacked in preparation to hand over to Saints.

I agree with the comments on the Grix injury. It was very very obvious a serious injury had occurred since you could see Grix's leg/foot pointing in a very strange direction. There was no need for a replay.
Personally I just can't watch those incidents anyway so I turned away (I know, I'm a wimp, I just can't watch!) but I don't see how it's of any benefit to the viewer to see it again.

Cannot see anywhere in the linked article that Skysports apologised.It seems Neville Smith just tried to justify why the LLS scenario was played out as it was.Thought it was comedy genius myself.

So viewers can look at the tackle for anyone to blame and then put it on social media obviously. I can remember some goon on here suggesting that Keith Senior deliberately broke Chev Walkers leg at Headingley. He soon disappeared though when his "theory" received no support whatsoever.

Just read the link from the OP and I am stunned this is even a thread that has made 2 pages.

Some really sad people out there if that is something to complain about.

"I can't believe Sky are packing the hub cap away on live tv, the shame they heap on us!"

Embarrassing dummy spit. I thought it made good TV viewing. A refreshing change from the usual stuff.

If you read the article it's clearly not an apology, merely Sky saying why they did it. League Publications Ltd strikes again.

However, the look at what you could have won (this week) Bullseye moment before packing it away was one of the Sky RL highlights of the season.

Indeed... it beggars belief that anyone takes anything their publications say as authoritative.


Slapstick is all Super League has got these days.

T'was amusing.

Spoken like a true Leeds fan.

So not many saints fans complained. You always get a fee who are over precious. It's hardly a poll stating even 2% of saints fans complained.
