People are quick to comment when they make mistakes but no so much when they do well, he let the game flow and I thought he was spot on with his decisions.
Terrific match.'"
Here's the thing tho, all season long head high shots have meant cards.
The ref had the balls today to realise that fans & the players don't want to see cards in finals. The shot on Arrow, would have been a red if Kendall was the ref.
Kendall hides behind the letter of the law & gets praise for it. Sutton (in his 5th GF) goes against the law and gets praise for it. |

I was fortunate enough to go to the Grand Final. I said the the same thing that every time the bunnies kicked they were put on their backside. Pressure on Cleary worked the one time the Bunnies did it. The protection when receiving a bomb from the Panthers was far better too with their blocking players. |

Time and again Craig Bellamy has taken unfancied journeyman players, often no better than SL standard, and made them into something better, so they can fit seamlessly in his side. Penrith just won the GF with 13 of the 17 coming through academy. That would warm Shaun Wane's heart!
And I think the other point, which I've made before, is that in criticising the standard of SL, it''s a bit harsh to judge it by Wigan's standard, as we have been literallly the worse team in the comp to watch this last year.
But Cruncher's point is a fair one. SL looks vastly poorer than the NRL in every respect. Not least the professionalism of the whole TV package, studio pundits, commentators, the Bunker set-up. All much better than our equivalents. And that won't change whilst it's on Sky. Does anyone buy a Sky Sports package just for SL? I wouldn't (I wouldn't give Sky a penny of my-earned anyway,as it goes, but I mean, even if I didn't have an ideological objection to Sky, I wouldn't pay God knows how much it is these days just for SL) Such SL needs as I have, I can get down the pub, if necessary (like tomorrow).'"
To be fair yeah I'm probably one of a small number but I buy Sky Sports for Super League. I watch NFL and occasionally NRL on there but if they lost Super League I would cancel and move to whoever got it. |

Like wise with me, I only buy sky for the sports. Predominately rugby league, plus in recent years I have come to like American football. Would pack the sky in if it lost rugby league. I am never certain if rugby league is getting its fair financial rewards from sky. Or is sky propping up professional rugby league. |
