Sky Sports : Thu Mar 30, 2023 11:39 pm  
Even as far into tonight's contest as half-time, the Sky Sports presenters seemed to be watching a different game.

I appreciate that they have to talk things up, and that they probably desperately hoped those two teams would have been more evenly matched, but there are times when I wish they'd just commentate on what's in front of them.

Sky have lost interest in RL. On todays Sky Sports splash page there is no mention of last nights match. Loads of other sports and a piece on women's RU but not a jot about RL.

The problem is that it's not even thinly veiled, this wishful thinking that all teams are equal.

At half-time, they were still forecasting a Leigh victory when it was plain to everyone that if it hadn't been for Wigan's self-inflicted errors and missed conversions, they'd have been much farther ahead. Only JJB seemed to be calling it how it was.

You must have an excellent translator because I can barely tell a word he says!

So how do think he sounds to any Southerners who might be watching? RL is so poorly served by TV, although clearly C4 has been a big improvement.

Haven't watched the video playback of yesterday yet, but from what I've been told, the Sky Sports team were again at a different match.

Put off watching again by Wilkin being involved he takes bias to a new level. Sts v Giants, Giant's behind by a score trout pulled up at marker “what’s he doing what benefit is there from that” a few minutes later still a score in the game Sironen gets penalised for a ball strip in Sts half “ a calculated play by Sironen”. Clarke gets slated for some of is ridiculous comments and should do. The current commentary offers little, Wells and Carney carry the show.
