The fans, the members, the people there.. from the day I stepped foot onto that field at the AJ Bell Stadium,I knew I would love that club for the rest of my life. "Jackson Hastings"..



Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.

Agreed the programme was off air before the players had left the pitch. maybe even Sky can't stand listening to the cast.

Typical of this board.

Sky bring you even more live RL games over this weekend, but theres complaints that they didn't give enough time to pundits which you moan about anyway.

FFS Eddie trying to turn the accident between Houston and the ref into something.


Unfortunately I'd dozed off when this incident happened (exciting game) so this may have been mentioned, but hasn't Houston got a bit of history for colliding with referees?

Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.

Does anyone actually like the Sky commentary? Usually you’d get a few people saying it’s alright and they don’t mind it but it seems 100% of viewers detest it (fwiw I agree).
I used to defend Stevo, he made little sense most of the time but was at least always lively and enthusiastic, he brought excitement to matches even when the quality was low. Eddie was also a great caller in his time, which has sadly long passed now.

The current Sky commentary team is the worst I've ever heard for any sport, anywhere, ever. It seems like they've tried to improve the balance of things this week by bringing in Jon Wells, who at least offers some relevant tactical analysis, but it doesn't make much difference because he's drowned out by the inane chuntering of the thick Northern stereotypes Barrie and Terry, plus Cummings who adds nothing and whose presence is a constant distraction from the match. I just about could stomach a team of Eddie, McDermott and Wells for the rest of the season, ideally both Eddie and McDermott would also be replaced. O'Connor and Cummings need to go NOW. It's legitimately becoming unbearable to watch the matches at this point.

Is it just me, but does Eddie really sound like he can't be arsed this season?

Complaints on a thread called Finally given up with Sky? Fancy that.

The whole production is garbage and half hearted.

To be fair 1986 was a good year for wrestling.
