yeh i picked that up what a goon!

Being biased I can sort of understand and I have no problem with it but Eddie pretends he is impartial and is completely unprofessional.

How about when Wigan scored their first try which was against the run of play and how magnificent Leeds had been in the opening 30 minutes because they were 0-0. This is a side with Burrow and Maguire running the show, not players out of position like at Harlequins and to be honest most of their breaks didn't get them too close to our line and our own ill discipline cost us possession and position in most cases.

It wasn't a great performance from Wigan and Leeds had suffered beforehand but Eddie Hemmings is a total waste of space not just because he is biased but because he is $hit. We will always be a small, northern, flat cap wearing sort of game with him and Stevo as the front.

spot on (Y)

i wouldnt mind jack deardon and trever hunt instead? least there not biast and no more about rugby than they do

Its wierd, when Wigan dominated the game, I used to curse Hemmings for being too pro Wigan, although I guess its hard not to wax lyrical about a team that were as far ahead of the pack as they were then.

Phil Clarke's never bothered me in that sense, in fact there've been time since he started that he's been very pro saints, even in comments in the derby.

What riles me is that Hemmings seems to have picked up little practical knowledge about the game in all the years of commentating on it and, instead of being pulled up on it, has stevo sitting next to him who not only struggles with basic rules of the game, but also fails to actually see what's in front of his eyes. Hemmings's love for the dramatic and cliche means he spouts torrents of bilge at any oppotunity and only tend to get corrected when Clarke pipes up (which is limited being 3rd mic).

I think a lot of people jump to the conclusion the Phil Clarke will automatically be pro-wigan before he's even opened his mouth, even if he's being impartial, so the guy can't win. Eddie Hemmings on the other hand, is just a pillock, plain and simple
