| Would be too much to ask for the presenters (Bill Arthur this time) to give some credit where it's due? Every excuse in the book was made, apparently (according to Terry O'Connor) all 7 of our tries came off Warrington mistakes. Bill Arthur gave a summary of Tony Smith's post match Interview and honestly must have been listening to something completely different.

| Thought Tony Smith spoke very well after the match. One of the few coaches giving us credit for the victory against their team.

| The one where it was just fast hands to Riley was pure class in my opinion.
No mistake from Warrington.

| Tony Smiths one of the few managers that tends to give a honest summary of a game. Its probably not the best time to expect a realistic report right after the finish of a game but credit to Smith he always seems to be on the ball with his comments.
Like you say trinfan 71 Bill Arthur must have listened to something completely different.
I honestly don't think programs like back chat , boots n all and super league full time give any credit to the game or sky. The presentation of the games themselves have become stale and a bit of a joke and would not inspire any new viewers to tune in again. Its a shame.

| It is a bit sickening but I don't expect anything else from the SKY team, I'll never forget how they all conspired to paint us as the worst club in the Super League and certainties to lose our franchise 3 years ago. They stated it as fact so often in as many broadcasts as they could, always accentuating the negatives and ignoring every positive until it became an accepted fact that we were down. Eddie Hemmings found it hard to hide his disgust when we didn't go down and ignored the likes of Blake Solly who stated that we weren't the next worst club either all because it didn't fit Wiggy's view of things.
They've cried bucket loads of tears over Bradford's demise and even now they're gone they're aching for their return as was seen in Eddies interview with Lowes last week. This was a club that did nothing to arrest their own demise and treated their creditors with disdain, keeping a squad they knew they couldn't afford and blaming everyone but themselves for their predicament.
In contrast you've got Wakefield Trinity, who ripped their squad asunder and had to release 75% of their off field staff in order to stay afloat. We've engaged every creditor and arranged deals to their satisfaction to the point where we're predicting to be a debt free club before next season kicks off.
Yet, do we get any credit for our actions, no but maybe we shouldn't either as our predicament was equally our own doing. However when we reach the mid point of that crucial season and we turn over Wigan, Leeds and Warrington in a few short weeks you might expect some grudging praise at least but no, not for Wakefield because Eddie and Stevo would choke on the words.
They're pathetic!
I'm convinced it all stems from having to sit in the shoebox atop a rickety scaffold, conditions our Eddie thinks are belneath him and he pours scorn on our great club out of sheer resentment.
The sooner he retires and finds another pastime the better

Yet i bet you religiously continue to pay your subscription every month. Which means they couldn't care less.

| Got rid of sky sports a few years ago, its utter garbage and gives me no enjoyment what so ever
The only money I give to rugby league is anything involving Wakefield or the international setup
My I suggest any one that doesn't have premiere sport get it for next season, the quality of the rugby is incredible and the coverage and programming is amazing, totally unbiased and a pleasure to watch its comparable to the coverage and programming football over here gets

That is the only language they'll understand, make sure you mention why when you cancel. I notice the sports is going up another £2.50 a month as well so i might well be joining you in doing that.

I thought I would miss Friday night games etc but I don't.

| Don't think I'd like to do without Sky Sports package. Have given up on the chat shows but never miss a game or the Super League Fulltime summary programme.
There's also the Premier League, Champions League, Cricket etc, etc etc.
The price is forever sneaking up and I often wonder how high it will go before I have to study its worth.

| Now TV sorts me out. I can get a day pass for £2.80 off eBay whenever I fancy watching a game. Certainly beats paying circa £40 a month regardless.

if I had more spare time on my hands like I used to do then I would still subscribe to watch the golf, occasional premier league game etc but I just get to watch the SL highlights by watching the SLS on bbc. If there is a real desire to watch a certain SL game on sky then I would find some way to watch it.
I have 2 young kids though so I never watch anything much "live" anymore - its a case of using SKY+ and watching stuff when I get chance, which is why I like the NRL - record it early doors and watch the replay not knowing the result when everyone is in bed.

Search for a now tv day pass, a number will come up with varying prices, bid for or buy it now and the seller's sends through the code. The last two I bought was for £2.80. Just make sure you've got a Internet connection greater than 2mbs (mines only 2.5) otherwise you'll encounter buffering

| I think you can stream it if you have an HD TV Vasty, my dad who lives in Cheshire told me he does it but I can't cos I don't have HD, I can only watch a game on the lappy.

You can watch in on your computer but I don’t think you can save it on a memory stick. I bought a little box for £10 which connects into my TV.
