The Sky Comms are on top form tonight, by which I mean terrible. I wish a producer would just tell them that the audience already know how hilarious they are and they don't need to keep reminding us.
Also Bill, it is a "rainy" night not "rainly".

Yeah, accepted (nearly included such a caveat ) but I was just annoyed at the bias from former Leeds player McDermott.
Incidentally, Leeds are the jammiest side in SL history. Everything went for them tonight. Mikolauskas (or whatever his name is) stopped Hudds being 16-20 up. Even when Child replaced him and stopped being so biased, Leeds still were allowed to slow the PTB without punishment, whilst Hudds got pinged another couple of times.
I really can't stand Leeds, or Agar.
I listened to the first half of Hull Vs Wakefield on 5 live extra on Thursday.
Dave Woods and Kyle Amor where on Commentary. It was a breath of fresh air. Nothing daft, no silly little in jokes. Just simple stuff. Dave Woods calling the game. Amor giving some professional comments on the game. It was brilliant!
When you compare it to tonight, that shower of shite are robbing a wage from sky (and me who pays for the sports channels) . The sooner it gets a reshuffle the better!
Can it get any worse. At least they didn’t mention Coffee last night. At the start of the Leeds / Huddersfield game Bill Arthur says this is the game that brings the curtain down for the weekend. Then 30 minutes later tells us about Catalan / Pies game.
Let’s go back to the boxing analogy ....... These guys talk broken biscuits ,
In the words of Ray french ‘ Why oh why do we need’ a boxing analogy at rugby games !
Not long after Welsby dropped the bomb . Big Phil predicted Welsby will be man of steel in the coming years... FFS
Personally my favourite was his tactical insight
“Hull KR should put a second backrower running down the right side...”
Terry: “They’re already doing that Phil, I think the loose forward is playing that channel.”
Clarke: “Well play 3 there then!”
FFs... #tacticalgenius.
I was lost by the boxing analogy as well, total nonsense by Wells that barely made sense though I suppose you can say Fages put a horseshoe in his boxing glove in the final round and knocked Hull KR out with that drop goal.
Is it any wonder the game is stagnating when the powers that be dont realise its been presented like a two bit punch and judy show on Margate beachfront.
Clarke also suggested that it was the venue which was the cause of ‘squirrel’ behaviour! Ha ha!
Maybe every time there is a try scored we could have someone shouting that’s the way to do it
He will be world class one day and will win MOS at some point, according to Clarke. No indication when, but somewhere down the line. It’s comments like these that get on my nerves because he has no idea if it’ll happen, and instead of simply saying he’ll likely be a top player in the future he throws all this stuff on him, almost as if he’ll have failed if he now doesn’t win it or isn’t regarded as world class.
You could name a pretty brilliant Super League era XIII from those that haven’t won the MOS. Off the top of my head I can think of Cunningham, Newlove, Radlinksi, Sinfield and O’Loughlin who have never won the thing. Had Clarke been around on Sky when they were starting off they’d now be wondering why they failed to match his expectations eh!
Who was that on the fanzone thing with the Redvee.tv plug?
Could Phil Clarke be any more partisan anti-Saints? Doesn't even try to conceal it these days. One thing I'd commend Sky on though is the crowd noise, it's really developed for Rugby League. They can't get it right for football, and watching Fulham v Arsenal now, the crowd noise is all over the place.
Seems like the 'powers that be' have been listening to a few posters on here = Tony Rea , a breath of fresh air .
roy litherland it's happened i told you it would
