It's happened a few times recently, the Sky timekeeper needs sacking!

| Quote ="Vespid_Wire"Good, tough win with no signs of injury (touch wood) and Leeds/Saints lose! Good to see Mick Monas playing well, we need his intelligence and his game is on point. With Higham back next week we'll be sound.
Would like to see Ratch/Bridge reunited next week. TS will have a headache with team selection.
Just to add, Leeds apparently rested a few big-name players. It's a very good sign in my eyes that we didn't need to do that. Fast ptb's and aggressive defense next week will get the job done.'"
To be fair Vespid I think that our team selection and Leeds' team selection were borne out different circumstances. We did rest quite a few and shuffled the team around to give as many players as possible game time for the season's climax.
Great result roll on next week can't wait NTW

When they were going on about those tries not being tries, all I could think was that 24 hours earlier, they were saying that Bowen got downward pressure with just his fingertip, yet Evans had far more than that and they were saying 'no try'.
Sky just don't like giving us credit, and when they do it's through gritted teeth. A rare pleasure to not have to listen to Eddie, Stevo and Phil tonight.

Whilst I've no reason to doubt you Matt according to the Salford board everyone including Sky commentators are against them.
I don't have the 'luxury' of regular Sky Sports viewing, is all this bias really true, or are they just trying to get a bit of controversy into proceedings? They can't be against every team can they, or is anyone going to suggest that if that had been Wigan Leeds Saints then the after match summary would have been different?
Anyway I don't really care to take on being the victim I will leave that to others

| I actually thought McDermott and O'Connor were quite fair as a commentary team, and both agreed that Evans effort was a try and the Cats should have been chalked off for a knock-on/incorrect ptb.
Didn't actually see the Stevo/Hemmings/Wells/Clarke/Carney panto back in the SKY UK portaloo as I was brewing up at half-time and helping myself to a celebratory hob-nob at full-time.

| My first time at Catalans tonight, picked a good one. What a fantastic game. M Monas was immense, as was the crowd, fantastic atmosphere, well done to all.

It's getting the stage of being embarrassing how partisan the Sky team are towards certain clubs. And it their dislike for us is blatantly obvious. I'm lucky enough to watch a lot of NRL games on Premier, and the standard of commentating is far, far superior than the dross we endure.

| I don't know how you see it that way Triprint?
Brian Carney is a Wire.
Paul Cullen is a Wire.
Angela Powers is a Wire.
Ambiguous whether Eddie is also a closet Wire some say Widnes.
John Kerr is always as upbeat about Warrington almost as much as he is Castleford.
By and large there are more personnel on the sky team that have a bond to Warrington greater than any other team.
The only commentator who is anti-all-thibgs-Warrington is Phil Clarke who is always Wigan and always for whichever team is against Wire or against Saints.

| Let's put this to bed. Sky are not anti-wire. I think this shows just how one-eyed some supporters are. They give us a fair share of their ludicrous hype.

Correct. The simple fact of the matter is, with a couple of exceptions; they are idiots.

I really watched Asotasi last night. He seemed very focused on driving the ball up and not looking to offload which was ideal in the conditions. I thought he was impressive. I've since looked at the stats for the game www.superleague.co.uk/report/10056 and they suggest he was our best ball carrier. Now that is good news!

You are Roy's dad, and I claim my £5
Too be fair. I too, kept an eye on him, and thought it was his best game (that I've seen).
Ran it in OK
Wasn't just coming in 3rd man to tackle.
Still stood on the periphery at times, bit did OK. Nowt spectacular. Hope he uses it as a springboard for the rest of the season

| Someone who went the game tweeted this photo showing the Wires that made the trip.
A good crowd I'd say.

| I focused on Asotasi and he always made good solid yards and seemed to have a bit more pace and determination to get involved, his best game for me since Bradford away.
On the Sky thing; I don't find any of them anti Wire at all, if anything they always complement us on being one of the big sides and a side worth watching with an exciting brand of rl to watch. The only commentator with a bit of bias can be Phil (pro-pie) Clark but I would also say that he is very positive in his comments regarding wire and often praises our style of rl.

Really? We are talking about the same Sky TV here right. I take RD's point though, I was mainly referring to Eddie & Stevo.
