We can thank Phil Clarke for providing the inspiration for at least one GF win.
Personally, I'll be sad to see him go, he brought a more intellectual angle to Sky's analysis of the game. After the comments made about McGuire he seemed to become a lot more reasonable and less partisan.
Barrie and Terry are fine for a bit of opinion from a couple of big guys who played the game during an entertaining era of pantomime villains. Carney is good value, he asks interesting questions in the discussion and can be humourous without descending to the level of caricature.
Wilkin comes across as media savvy with corresponding inflated ego, perhaps to compensate for his relatively mediocre playing career spanning several star-studded Saints teams. He seems to be desperate to come across as someone with radical insights, but about half the time it is ill-judged and it just cements his attention-seeking credentials. He seems to really hate Leeds - when we're up he's desperate for someone to knock us down, and when we're down he wants to kick us ( https://www.skysports.com/rugby-league/ ... jon-wilkin). Where's the article from him on our recruitment for 2024?
Kyle Amor is fine but he's a bit boring. Sam Tomkins could be a good call, as much as I disliked his cynical gamesmanship as a player. I think he has good insights into the game, and doesn't take it too far unlike Wilkin. As much as I love JJB, I think he's also another in the mould of Barrie and Terry with some random leftfield insights from religion and psuedo-philosophy (e.g. the transformative power of sport to create pathways in society, the big society etc).

Quote: rugbyleague88 "I don't mind Wilkin personally. There were certain occasions last year when he could quite easily have slaughtered Leeds but he held back. I think some Leeds fans just don't like his honesty regarding Leeds.
In terms of the Sky streaming service. Is it my understanding that Sky will continue to show two live games a week. The streaming service will then show these two matches on delay as well as four live matches a week?
[iAm I correct in that people who already have SkySports will also need to pay for this streaming service[/i (not complaining) or will SkySports be offering a separate package for people who already have SkySports?'"
No - see https://twitter.com/rugbyleagueontv/sta ... 9352232338 for confirmation

Thanks, it was that tweet that made me confused. Prior to that, I believed I would have to pay for the streaming service to catch the other 4 games each week, however, that tweet suggests people with SkySports will not need the streaming service announced yesterday and will either get these games on a different streaming service or as part of an add on.
