| Quote: (Rocky) Bobby's Girl "I was disappointed they didn't talk about Warry more, esp when Eddie ended the first half with a mention of our match, but I'm guessing there's more drama to be wrung from 4 sets of fans wondering who will make the 8, than 2 sets of fans wondering who will win the LLS.'"
It's more because the LLS is absolutely meaningless and no one cares about it. The amount of talk they did about who is going to make the 8 was funny, simply because in the NRL that might mean they win the competition, over here it just means they lose in week 1 of the play offs.

Tries - none,
breaks - none
kicking game - non existant
passing game - non existant,
scoring fancy looking tries against crap teams - N/A, crap team not available
Errors - one, turning up to play
getting nowhere near bombs - lots
mard lip - even more than the one above.
tears shed at full time - bucket full.'"

| He's done that segment every week talking about KPI's and going through each game, usually with big mentions of how Wigan won games. Suddenly he comes up with that Dream Team and Team Of The Week rubbish out of the blue.
Also how can a team dominate and not have any players in Team Of The Week, I'd like to know Opta's points weighting.

For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Rogues, he might have explained it, but it proved that stats aren't always right. That team of the week would have been slaughtered by most sides in SL.

| It’s not the issue of whether the OPTA team of the week is any good – the stats are the stats and no one’s arguing with them for this week. The amusing thing about Clarke’s segment was that he chose to look at this particular item in this particular week.
Had Wigan beaten Wire, you can bet his analysis would have focused largely on that game and taken in details of team tackles made, line speed of defence, metres made by the various packs, line breaks, attacking kicks, the parts of the field the play-the-balls took place in, blah, blah, blah.
However, Clarke must have had his minions trawling the statistical world for some kind of item which featured precisely no Wire or Wigan players so that he could pretend that their game didn’t actually happen, and instead, plausibly discuss a completely different – albeit still valid – aspect of the week’s stats. I can imagine his delight when someone reported finding the OPTA team of the week stats to him.
I do like him – he’s such a comic figure these days that it amuses me listening to his arguments and skewed logic, but I don't let him wind me up.
As it happens, I found this week’s analysis far more satisfying than any faux Wire eulogy he could have trotted out. Instead, we had a demonstration of own belief that Wigan are still the best side: achieved by completely overlooking all aspects of what many would describe as the “biggest game of the season” - a potentially pivotal (and fifth successive) Wigan league defeat at the hands of their top-two rivals.
I look forward to next week's pearls of wisdom.

Yes he was although he always seemed to moan about kickoffs that went on the full and sliding defence in your own 20

At least he showed why games were won and lost made it easy to understand and didn't just read figures from a teleprompter

Exactly he had shown why a try was scored rather than saying Saints had 2 more PTB's than Wakefield but still lost ![Laughing icon_lol.gif](images/smilies//icon_lol.gif)

46584_1279360105.jpg Warrington RLFC: The Wire, NOT Warrington Wolves

| So a thread on a Warrington forum is critical of blatantly Wigan biased Phil Clarke, and then someone suggests that blatantly Warrington biased Paul Cullen was much better.
Whodathunkit?

In Tony, we trust.: |

| Clarkey's stats are nonsense hence the reason they dumped the Wankometer, it almost always showed the wrong side winning until the last 5 minutes.
If you want to know what wins games, watch the bleeding match !
