"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround." An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42181.jpg



About 3 times last night he kept saying Salford were beaten 54 16 to give Andy last his first win the previous week!! icon_lol.gif

Whereas they spanked hull 3 weeks ago and lost to leeds last week!

It would help if we had someone who actually commentated on the game instead of spending 15 minutes talking about who owes who a £3.80 coffee or boasting about how many times one of them had visited the disciplinary during there career.

Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'.

Sky need to get a grip with the commentators and pundits.

So much of it is just poor and embarrassing.

Jon Wilkin, Kevin Brown are the best I’ve heard recently and should replace Baz, Tez. Phil Clarke needs to go too. Tries to come across as intelligent and insightful but just talks nonsense.

Talking of which, I thought it was cringworthy listening to McDermott waxing lyrical about that fat lump Pauli Pauli in commentary last night.

Why can’t we have the crowd/ ground noise only? I know at the moment it would not work. Sky used to offer this option. Those of us who have followed the game don’t need commentary. I do agree that the ones on Sky now won’t attract the new or casual supporters.

I want commentary, but I don’t want third rate pub banter and repetitive ‘pub bore’ theories.

Stuart Pyke used to be the football commentator on BBC GMR, and he didn't even commentate on the RL on that station as it was always Trevor Hunt or Jack Dearden. Strange choice by Sky, although he might be the new Barry Davies, where he is the voice of a few different sports. icon_smile.gif

Remember Pyke being on Piccadilly in the 80's doing RL and Man City games. Clive Tyldsley has been dropped to number 2 at ITV depends if he is freelance to be able to bring him across to sky.

At least Proe can get the previous week’s results right and actually enunciate his words.

And so you aim towards the sky, And you'll rise high today, Fly away, Far away, Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg



Wire and Hull players have head collision in the tackle...

..Sky commentary team - 'What a superb tackle, that is... ' d040.gif

Quote: Superted "Pyke sounds like he’s putting on a comedy/parody voice whenever he’s commentating - the sort of voice you put on when you’re playing with the kids and commentating along.'"

He sounds like Brian Butterfield, a comedy character played by Peter Serafinowicz.

That was referring to Hull being brought back another 10m for dissent.
