And your very own ex, Mr Cullen...

Jon Wells, Barrie McDermott and Terry O'Connor are the only decent blokes associated with Sky. I dispise Phil Clark. How can you possibly have someone so biased as a tv presenter ? A joke ! All he talks about is the bloody pie-eaters anyway. Brian Carney too. He just goes around s**t stiring for news. Wallace and Grommit aren't far behind either. They're just clueless.

How could you tell what hemmings was saying? His nose is so far up Tony Smith's ar5e I am surprised he can speak at all.

Smith is a very capable coach. However since he arrived in the UK he also coached a team to relegation, coached a team to a challenge cup humiliation and coached a dire World Cup performance by England it was embarrassing(we did manage to beat PNG). On recognising that he woud not get a head coaches job in Oz he became British!

While he is a very capable coach lets not join hemmings in his campaign to make Smith a saint

You mean Eddie the Widnes fan? Eddie who supports saints over Warrington? Who supports anyone over Warrington?

strange!

It's staggering, isn't it. The level of pigthickishness that still posts on RLFans
Never mind. Matron will be round soon, with this morning's mashed banana

Play nice Lefty

Please do it will be interesting to know how mant you know.

Oh dear. Did a few facts touch a nerve

Are you on a football forum as well telling folk Sir Alex is naff as he didn't get out of the Group Stages of the CL league one season and allowed Chelsea to win the league back to back. Eh, they were a joke in the World Club Challenge too.

I think the people on here who are abusing Phil do not know the man.
I see Phil every Sunday at church and he talks avidley about all teams in super league in a very mutually unbiased way and shows respect and admiration for all in the sport.
He often refers to individuals from accross the whole spectrum of SL and offers an insight into skill and capability of each player in a way that the mere mortals that are tearing him a new jacksy would never comprehend on here.
Philip sees things in our sport that are invisible to the biased eye in RL until that biased eye has rewound and replayed several times only to realise they would never recognised nor dreamt was possible unless pointed out to them by him.
I would also like to add that he is the most generous donater to the church.
I like his tailor too dont you think he dresses splendid.

And his shoes must mention those you can see your face in the reflection when kissing his feet..

Not really, Duckie
Still, let's not let a twice winning Grand Final and twice Challenge Cup winning coach's acheivements get in the way of an arguement that's as firm as a vicar's handshake.


Yes, Shudds were relegated when he was in charge. Wayne Bennett would have struggled with that mob. They were a 'basket case'
The same can be said of the England situation.
And as for getting a walloping in a one-off game, so what. Every coach has had one.

Bill Arthur isn't a pundit, neither is Angela Powers. Can Jon Well be classed as a pundit or he is more an "analyst"?

The only pundits Sky have are Barry & Terry, Phil Clarke and Brian Carney.

Just be thankful that Sky can at least invite other people on to do the job. Can't remember the last time the BBC invited someone that isn't Hunter-Paul, Nobby, Kear, Morgan or Davies.

I like the beeb when they rotate players on the Super League show. Maybe they could use that conection and get those players doing the commentary of CC matches. Even as a reference like Lovett does on Dire FM (fixtures/commitments pending)

U beat me to it

I don't think the Bible preaches as much as Phil Clarke does, I'm not sure like, I've never read it, I'm waiting for the paperback version to come out.

I quite enjoy the mix of styles on SKY's coverage. I am a little bored with those who have been around a while (Stevo, Eddie and Clarke), but Cull, Wells, Carney, Barrie Mac, McRae I like listening to.

That's kind of where I am, although I do really miss Tony Rea. He was really the one who held my attention. I like Cull also, I find his analysis very interesting even If I don't understand what it means when I've lost my hips.

ask Tom Jones and Elvis...hang on, Elvis didn't have hips in the 70's...they were more love handles

So the facts did touch a nerve..ho hum.

I have no difficulty acknowledging TS is a good coach. You struggle with his obvious failures.Your efforts to explain all his failures are deeply moving, if inept.

I am sure you know plenty about 'vicar's handshakes'.

they are all garbage apart from John Wells, talks total sense.
