I loved it when one of our players had their legs lifted high enough for it to be an offence (think it was Joel) and nothing at all was said, a little later, one of their players had their legs lifted (not as high as Joels) and Wiggy never shut for 5 minutes, he is a disgrace and does a dis-service to the game, the RFL keep trying to entice new fans into the game, i wonder how many actually become fans after listening to the shocking commentary you get with TV game

He provides 22.4% of conversation on rugby league forums and 56.1% on the Wigan boards. Leave Hemmings alone!

I have no problem with Hemmings. He and Stevo are an entertaining double act and he just calls it as he sees it. I noticed he was the only person who noticed that Vella knocked on in the build-up to Rovers' first try. Also, I'm sure a lot of opposition fans get tired of his constant drooling over Sam Tomkins - notice his comparison to Darren Lockyer! Maybe he does have some resentment towards Wigan but by and large he does a decent job. I'd rank him ahead of Dave Woods, Ray French, Bill Arthur or Eddie Waring personally.

Agreed, but they should be on the Palladium.

They should have been on The Titanic!

Was it not McCrea who made that comparison?

No, he just agreed that there are similarities.

Eddie is nothing like what this board make him out to be. People seem to think he should be talking Wigan even when they aren't playing. He does love Warrington and that is fair enough (Stevo loves Yorkshire teams, Clarke Wigan, etc) but a lot of people on here seem to have an 'everyone hates us because we won everything in the 80's' chip on the shoulder.

Well lets just see how much drivell comes out of wiggys mouth tonight maybe we should start a face book page sayin lets get hemmings sacked from sky at the end of the day people who have association with a club will be biased.

eddie hemmings - warrington (lives in warrington)
brian carney - warrington (as he works for them)
stevo (any yorkshire club or any hooker)
phil clark (wigan as he used to play for them)
terry oconnor ( widnes as he works for them)
barrie mac ( leeds as he works for them)

just the way it is but we have all been watchin sky long enough to know its not going to change !!!

He actually said "Nothing controversial about this" regarding the try, after stating that something Phil Clarke had said may have been controversial.

what is wrong with you pie munchers?
steady eddie is a top bloke....says it as it is..hopefully he gets on the new year honours list..

sound like eddie is counting out the anadins

I hope that there aren't any cats in the Hemmings household cos the mood he's probably in, he's going to kick it for a drop goal.

Anyone else notice his last comment before they went to the adverts at full time, " anyone from Saints, Leeds, Huddersfield can reach the Grand Final.
Shall we bother turning up next week ?
Go on then we will make up the numbers.
He is trying to convince everyone Saints are going to pick Wigan.

Yep, I heard that too. Mentioned it on the Wire v Hudds thread. Poor Eddie, so depressed now his team are out of the comp.

Good to see Brown having a pop at the pundits after the game because they hadn't given the Giants a chance.

Exactly.

Except Stevo who called it on extra time last night.

Brown is a scrote..No class..That's why St George sacked him. Hudds seem to have followed his lead..

His rant at half time about the fans being fickle was comedy genius.

He also showed that he knows feck all about the game when stating at 27-22 'there's not much point is there' when Stevo suggested the 1 point. The point is Edwardo that Wire would need to score twice to win the game and not once you grade A t1t.

At that point Eddie was saying it was a 6 point lead as well!

He really was flapping, i bet he is in a foul mood today

The 'fickle fans!' stuff was hilarious, and I found his mistake saying it was a 6 point gap when it was a 5 point gap particularly funny because just moments earlier Barrie McDermott said "I'm not reyt good with numbers".

It's alright, Barrie; neither is Wiggy.

Is a clown.....end of.

Friday we go to St Helens, Saturday we go to Leeds.


We knew that anyway Eddie but thanks.

i'm thinking Eddie as got a bit of a man crush on Mr Brown.

Telling him what to wear now.

what about Eddies co star Stevo,

he said the penalty given away by Galea was harsh for flopping on Leului then 5 minutes later Galea was stupid to give the penalty away, Leului's try was short according to Stevo at first, then 5 minutes later it was a great try.

id sooner have Barrie and Terry any day, they might not be the best but they love a bit of biff, and just take the mick out of each other all game, what more do you want???
