| So far:
Widnes building slowly, Salford trying to do the opposite without success
Widnes doing really well to score against a full strength Salford side
I don't want to see another trick shot by Rangi Chase
It's ok for Salford to score tries, but they should try concentrating on their defence
Widnes finding it easy to score on Salford stronger wing
Hock led with the knee
Typical Red Devils, no composure. It's in their DNA
For me the Red Devils only have one gear
He doesn't usually pick the wrong pass............Kevin Brown
You have to treat a club like Widnes with more respect
If you keep giving a side with the guts and determination of the Widnes Vikings the ball that's what's gonna happen
Top marks the Widnes Vikings
Silence for a while (Salford have scored)
Sky, please at least have someone on to balance the commentary, otherwise it's a comedy show.

| He was embarrassing.
We should be used to being on the wrong end of bias by now. Still poor showing from someone paid to be impartial.

| It was a great game, everyone said so, but there was only one side mentioned! Very very bizarre.

| You seem to be his new hate team, it used to be Cas and he once had to apologise to Steve Cill (Cas CEO) he seems to target you since then.

| i thought the whole sky commentary was very poor and very biased , even john kear was getting over excited with widnes all i could hear throughout that game was love widnes hate salford.
you see football with gary neville and jamie carragher when they work on sky on a game of either liverpool or man u , they both are very professional for men who spent all their playing careers at these clubs yet sky for rugby cannot seem to grasp this.

I thought it was damning when within the first five minutes of coming on air before the London game, the tag line was 'Bringing you the talking points and controversies as the games unfold.'
We just want commentary. It's not hard. Look at the NRL commentary. Look at Andrew Voss during the world cup. Look at Premier Sports when they showed Championship games. Look at any other commentary ever.
Sky Sports Commentary is laboured, often wrong, biased, overly focused on refereeing, etc etc.

| Hemmings thought this was the first time we'd met Widnes this season. I would be forgiving if it weren't for the fact we played them on Sky.

| I understand that everyone hates a "money" club, but people seem to forget that is no one had come in for Salford, we wouldn't exist now, and where's the club with legions of fans that would've replaced us?
By the way, wasn't it a wealthy owner that transformed Warrington's fortunes?
If Sky are aiming their broadcast at Rubgy League fans, then that's fine. But if the aim is to entertain the general "sports" fan who happens to be watching, that was just silly and unprofessional today.
I'm in no way saying Widnes didn't deserve the win, but if it was such a great game, surely two teams contributed?

| That's all ok having a go at Cullen but at the end of the day what he said was correct and bang on the mark. And before you go on I'm a Salford fan for 50 years. We are just not smart enough at playing the game of RL. Noble was out of touch with the modern game and Harris is not tough enough. Heard Smith had had enough at Wire and was looking for out at end of season. Perfect for us.

| Cullen never recovered from "black Friday" all those years ago. He mentioned it for about 2 years when at Wire and ever since has had a downer on Salford. Man is an idiot.

| Was it on sky? I thought I was watching Widnes TV.
Salfords last try was described as 'a good defensive effort from a weakened side' (Widnes) even though a try had been scored.

| I think Cullen concentrates too much on being erudite rather than the facts of the game he is watching.
For me watching the coverage of the NRL has spoiled SKY's coverage of Super League, Ray Warren sort of captivates when he talks and Andrew Voss is just out and out entertaining. Even when you watch the Queensland based coverage and they are blatantly Broncos biased it is still more entertaining than the fair we get over here.
I think the best British pundit is Noble as he speaks with authority and his enthusiasm for the game isn't ed on one club or another just his love for the sport.
A total new broom is needed at SKY and probably a new outlook on the game, anyone who watches the footy show on Premier knows what can be done when it done well rather than the tired and dated concept that they year in year out keep subjecting us too over here.
