I'm not too keen on O'Connor and McDermutt. Think they're a bit boring. The others I don't mind. Carney though is ace.

The other week (might have been us at Salford) they were looking at whether it was a penalty try. Cummings interpretation being it wasn't a 100% certainty he would have scored given the players was in mid air when gaining control of the ball (same interpretation would happen in the NFL). Anyway, Stevo chipped in to support Cummings after the others disagreed;

STEVO: To be fair to Stuart, he didn't write the rule book.

(SLIGHT PAUSE)

CARNEY (laughing): For a minute then, I thought you said read.

Cas did get some bum calls, but it swings and roundabouts during the season. It was nothing that affected the result. Sky aren't helped by the donut that is Stuart Cummins, who'd defend murder by a referee, and Eddie just listens to every word he says.

I'm just greatful we didn't get the usual beating we get from you every season.

Did you not feel we were there for the taking?

Not really as I have seen what Saints can do ( to us ) far too often after a defeat. If we had done you over I'd still be in shock.

No
