Quote: Phuzzy "It's probably because he's still smarting from us putting Leeds out of the cup
Definitely had the mard lip on after that cup game. He was at it from before the game. His definitive ‘When both sides are at their best, HKR are a better side’ line blew my mind. We’ve not been at our best very often and sit above a team playing out of its skin in the league. HKR are building something really good but they’re building and aren’t there yet.

This Wigan side won the cup last year and got to the play offs. It sits 2nd minus a few important players and I thought the level the team reached in terms of intensity and defensive quality during that Leigh, Saints and Wire run was something no other side has reached yet this season (Saints will get back to that at some point though IMO).

Quote: Pie Eyed "Yeah. They were extremely annoying last night.
A few things I noticed were the differences in the commentary descriptions of similiar scenarios.

e.g. HKR's winger caught a high ball and it was a "great take", but when Miski did exactly the same, he was "holding on to the ball for dear life".
Mago stripped a ball while tackling the man perfectly, but it was described as a "desperation tackle".

I found it incredibly one-sided.'"
]

Yes I noticed those examples too, for much of the game I had to keep checking the score because the tone of the commentary suggested we were being outclassed rather than actually..you know winning...it always seemed Eddie and Stevo weren't sorry to see us lose but I've often thought what sounds like support for the opposition is perhaps just me viewing through cherry and white specs and the presentation is just trying to manufacture an 'event' and talk up the opposition for the neutral but last night was astonishing it was bordering on "fake news", literally misreporting things we could see with our own eyes.

Aside from the bias, the commentary team needs shaking up. Numerous wrong naming, ignoring of developing action to waffle on about something irrelevant and multiple factual inaccuracies from commentators and pundits. The thrilling climax where Miski dived in to score was dismissed and belittled, if we want to help spread the game none of this helps. NRL commentary on a game like that would have added to the cadences of the action not hindered it

Also, just basic stuff, like, there's enough of them, can't they keep track of substitutions and inform the viewer when it happens? How often do you hear them say, "Shorrocks (or whoever), who's on the field now...", and I think, I know, he's been on for the last 15 minutes. And yes, very poor on Miski's wonderful effort.

Dave Woods last week early on
Holroyd was injured in back play,he said it was Gannon. Gannon then took the ball in so he announced "he seems fine now" + Holroyd was still getting tended to in the same place. Lots of tackles missed due to showing us the coaches or famous people in the crowd

Dreadful that wasn’t it! I noticed Holroyd go down at the game and thought it could be a huge moment and then you listen to that from Woods. They’ll always make mistakes I guess and Dave Woods is not too bad most of the time.
