yes, because Melbourne can't wait to get rid of Cameron Smith so they can sign the all-conquering Michael Monaghan..

which part of possibly the NRL didnt you understand

I am saying Atkins isn't good enough for an Engalnd shirt, he's already proved he's not international calibre.

oh so you mean he could play in the NRL, but not for the decent teams?

he is improving each year thou

is there a bad team in the nrl then , and just for the record m monaghan as proven his self in the nrl

He's still got a massive amount of improving to do then.

Can't help but think these guys like Monaghan and Matt King that get raved about so much, are flattered by playing in the best team.

It's easy to look good when you're in a side smashing teams by 40-50 points every week.

I don't understand where this myth has come from regarding Hemmings being a Warrington fan. He's a Saints fan.

No he isn't. Warrington have three centre's better than Carmont. Shenton and Makinson bullied Richards and Carmont all afternoon.

Back on topic....
I see Wiggsy is giving himself a little semi again, explaining why our game is being 'forced' to be played Sunday.
How many times is that in the last hour??
Complete tool.

George Carmont has been sensational this year for Wigan and has certainly scored the best centre’s tries this season. The one thing that has mainly been a given throughout the season is a Sam Tomkins break and if he doesn’t score then George Carmont on the other side scores within the next couple of play the balls. Ryan Atkins has had a good season but I think George’s season easily tops that. Especially when he scored those brilliant tries in the world club challenge and exiles games.

Hemmings loves to throw little subliminal digs towards wigan!

I have to say George has been superb for us again. That said, if Atkins had been announced as a Wigan player for next year I don't think many on here would be too disappointed! I'd be happy to see him at Wigan.

Wiggy hates Wigan. We all know this. He is a tool. We all know this.

Winning the GF didnt shut him up, nothing ever will.

Lets just look forward to his retirement day.

joel tomkins and keith senior

Eddie's rational stance is needed to balance Clarke's constant pro-wigan hysteria. The quicker that muppet gets the tin tack the better.

All Eddie does is play devils advocate, asking questions and getting the likes of Clarkey to give their response.

He doesn't hate Wigan.

For me, Atkins is better than both of those.

In fact, Shenton is better than both of those.

Behave yourself.

Even Saddened likes Wigan more than Eddie Hemmings.

I'm certain that eddie doesn't dislike Wigan any more that the rest of the SL community.

Trust me mate. you are wrong.. Having listened to his anti wigan bile for over 20 years on Sky I am more than convinced. Rose tinted specs yes.. deluded no

The sooner Sky get rid of this moron the better. Keep Stevo, he is iconic to Super League now and his passion is like no other but Eddie can easily be replaced by someone fresher and more modern - and they wouldnt have to look hard to find someone who knows more about RL.

Definatley not. Pre 96 I used to hate him as you do now because he used to suck Wigan's cock with relish.

As I said, he likes to play devil's advocate. When Gleeson went to Hull, he said something a long the lines of "Surely if you leave Wigan, the only way is down."
As I said, he just like to get the other guys on the show talking.

I don't particulary rate his knowledge of RL, but as a commentator, the mere sound of his voice adds a drama not there when Bill Arthur is commentating.

Perhaps Radlinski can do it ??

After all with Clarke, Carney, O'Connor, McDermott it's part of the qualifications of the job to be an ex-Wigan player. Just as long as there's no bias eh ?
