| This thread smacks of paranoia. I can buy the fact that people think the commentary is poor (though surely you can't complain about the actual coverage-watch the choice of camera angles for a Catalans game and try and argue that point!); but to suggest anti-Wire bias is a little silly. The fans of most clubs in the league probably think Sky are anti-their club: most people cited Stevo as a closet Rhino, yet the South Stand had a spell of regularly chanting 'Stevo what's the score' when ahead in a televised game.
Generally I think the coverage is pretty fair. However the commentary can be poor (much prefer BBC for this), and I don't really get Barrie and Terry. Clarkey I don't mind, and Wells and Carney have freshened up the format. I'd prefer Woods with another (varied ex-player) summariser/opinion giver, and ditch Cummins (who is only needed as the current lot can be a bit vague on the rules, and obsess about refereeing decisions too much!)

| That was a strange decision because the ball was still in the scrum when the Widnes player broke free. I think Bentham missed a couple of Widnes off sides from kicks too.

| Quote: silver2 "Did anyone else think that when Gidley got caught out at the scrum that the Widnes prop broke before the ball was out? Should have been a Warrington penalty.'"
You could hear the joy in Eddie's joy though as Gidley finally made a mistake..... anytime a wire player knocked he said it was Gidley.

| Eddie - Wire hating and gets every clubs and players names wrong
Brian - not got a problem with him at all, decent to have on there
Phil - he's alright, sometimes talks , but fine
Terry - the worst, talks in thick riddles and says nothing of insight
John - shouts and talks too fast so gets himself mixed up
Barrie - not bad, but not good, again doesn't provide much insight
Every one of them though has a chip on their shoulder about Catalans and Wire. They hate both clubs. Listen to their commentary when either side is on and especially Eddie he sounds deflated when either team scores a try
You could keep Brian and Phil though and bin the rest off

| We finished the Widnes game with nine first teamers missing and not a word, pretty sure we'd hear about it if it was Wigan. I think they didn't like us challenging the "big 4" they used to love us when we were the lovable losers.

| The Sky team loved the days when it was a Grand final featuring any of Leeds,Wigan,Saints or Bradford. The fact that one of their darlings isn't in the mix any more and Saints and Leeds are not the teams they once were must pee them off..
