Awful stuff really. Far too much variability and subjectivity in the application of the rules - the whole game looked a farce tonight.
Glad to just hear Phil Clarke call out Jon Wells for not understanding the rules.
Do any of them understand the rules? Do any of them even know what they're watching?
Let's admit it, they're just plain poop.
For all of last year we've all been exposed to the high levels of professional coverage in the NRL, and after that, I'm afraid that Sky's comedy coverage just doesn't even come close to cutting it.
Where is it written that a sports commentator MUST unashamedly support the underdog? Yet in the last four Wigan games, that's exactly what's happened. If it isn't that, we've got Baz or Tez proclaiming that such and such a journeyman player is the 'best in the league' at whatever discipline happens to come to mind at the time. We've got crap jokes and inane gabble rather than actual commentary. We've got a continuation of the Eddie and Stevo disease where it's vital to search high and low to find any possible reason why a try might not actually be a try. We've got no criticism whatsoever of the latest cadre of utterly inept referees. We've got Phil Clark arguing that Shaun Wane only won loads of trophies because Wigan spent more than anyone else (in the age of the Salary Cap, under the shrew governance of Ian Lenagan!!!!!).
Let's not pretend the whole Sky Sports poop show aren't still the worst pile of crap since the last pile of crap.
