"Leeds is the greatest club in Rugby League"
Alex Murphy 2011: |

Me and my missus normally watch Live at the Apollo or comedy roadshow late of an evening but we've recorded the first two sky games of the 2012 superleague season with the unbelievably funny "margin meter" moments as they're far funnier.
Phil clarke; "Yes but the margin meter doesn't know what the current score is Eddie"
Comedy gold. Nearly as funny as the clothes Phil clarke wears these days, how about that glittery tie tonight ? Mind you, he is from Wigan.

HULL KINGSTON ROVERS is my religion, Craven Park is my church and Jordan Abdull is my God: |

So it doesn't know the current score, then I can't wait until team a is winning 50-0 with 20 minutes left and then team b spend the next 15 minutes camped on team As line and Clarke is telling us team B will win by 9 points

When they were banging on about the margin meter during the Cas game, I got the feeling that Brian Carney was contemplating self-harm.

I especially enjoyed his awkward laugh when Eddie asked him about it trending on Twitter  |

| Don't knock it!
The Margin Meter is not only a great innovation in Rugby League...it is also a brilliant aid in the crucial pursuit of the perfect diameter sausage.

Same here - even his clothes annoy me; where exactly does one buy an irridescent skinny tie and a jacket with lapels made of completely different fabric to the rest of the garment. He looked utterly bizzare. |

Martin Kelner on the margin meterThe Margin Meter takes statistics from 700 previous rugby league games – "fed into a computer", of course – and delivers its verdict at various points in the televised game, on which team will win, and by how many points. Would this, I asked myself, not be counter-productive? Richly entertaining though the sport is, why watch it live if the Margin Meter has already told you what is going to happen?
The good news for Sky's viewing figures is that the Margin Meter is consistently and hilariously wrong. Widnes by four points, it told us. Opponents Wakefield won by 18.
When Castleford, meanwhile, went eight points ahead against Salford, it predicted a seven‑point victory, which it then amended to six after a Salford attack. Castleford won by 14. As far as the bookies are concerned, the Margin Meter may be the greatest boon to in-play betting profits since I discovered I could bet on my iPhone.'"

| Stupid idea, and quite irritating when it pops up during the game. It makes Phil Clarke even more of a joke. |

I think you have to give it time to see what it can do. I can see what he's trying to do and over the course of a season it might work. I've no idea if it will but they're trying to innovate so let's see what happens. I'd hate for some of you to have been around when we invented fire...
