Was at the game too (first of the season, up from the smoke), but watched it back. Cummings, as usual, didn't want a single decision to go our way. Eddie and Barrie laughed off the Houston 'hair tackle' on Sims, and all the team were tugging each other silly with the idea Philbin had done a double movement for ages until the real-speed replay showed how ridiculous the notion was.

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.

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..
