super league show prediction : Sat Jun 13, 2009 1:24 pm  

After last night's rather wonderful showing and some of the nice things that the "Sky" team said about the lads performance, I predict that Harry (they are crap coz they aren't from up north) focuses on the missing players that H K R had and not mention Purdham, Dorn, Clubb etc.

I also predict they'll show the bare minimum of highlights from our game, i.e. only the tries and without even starting from the preceding play-the-ball for some of them.

It's all down to the low travelling support numbers apparently!

You got a decent shout. We got nothing! But then how much can be squeezed into 45 minutes?

I guess Saints giving someone a hiding isn't exactly headline grabbing.

We haven't had any shout down here yet. It gets broadcast for the first time in the London area at 2.30 am tomorow morning. Anyway, thanks for flagging up that it's worth recording for once!

I would have thought us winning at headingley in late April swas "headline ghrabbing", but still only the bare minimum; tries starting from halfway through the move and no footage of the disallowed try for each side by Donald and Golden, each of which would have been interesting to see having been there on the night.

Maybe not. We've only done it twice more than you this season, though. There was Castleford playing in that game too but they weren't discussed either!

Anyway. I believe you're now in fourth spot. Although we beat you at our place, I've been keeping a watchful eye on Quins this season as your guys have looked altogether more dangerous this year. It's good to see you up towards the top. I hope you can maintain it.

Damn stupid that. I wonder what's going to happen when The North goes digital? (We in The North West will be digital by Christmas apparently)

Oh yes. You get a goodly slice of the action. But it isn't one of the best shows as it's only 45 minutes. The BBC are nothing if not consistent in being disrespectful to their rugby league loving licence fee payers.

Forgot to mention it used to be available on the "red button" (to view at one's leisure for two to three days after the weekend) for the first few weeks of this season, but this facility seems to have mysteriously evaporated.
