Offiah is terrible as a pundit so she was probably correct in her opinion of him. I think the 'unfortunately' comment was more that it was more comfortable for us in the 2nd half but she does generally pick the opposition to beat us

Quote: Cruncher "Am I right to feel slightly peeved that Danika, one of the summarisers for C4's Grand Final coverage, felt it necessary to add "unfortunately" after describing how Wigan "ran away with the second half"?

Did she mean that she was miffed because it was a one-sided victory and therefore bad for the game? Because it wasn't really. It was only one-sided in the last quarter.

Was it just a harmless turn of phrase, which didn't really mean anything? Maybe, except that she's increasingly got form for visibly not appreciating Wigan's achievements.

I honestly thought C4 were going to bring a fresh new approach to covering SL, and that we'd have a brief period at least where all the old prejudices that in the end totallyh compromised Eddie and Stevo's commentary would be absent. Maybe that hope was misplaced.'"


Pretty sure everyone from Yorkshire is bitter

If she wants to go commentate on Leeds TV (assuming it exists) then she can be as partisan as she wishes.

To be a pundit on mainstream TV then she needs to offer some sort of impartiality.

Quote: Phuzzy "I can't agree with this NK. I know what you're saying and honesty is usually an admirable trait but, frankly, we (as fans and viewers) are not tuning in to watch her so her preferences and biases are of no consequence. She's there simply to do a job in assessing the teams and players and, as such, should do exactly that in an uncoloured and unbiased way. I don't care what her personal preferences are. In fact, I have no interest in her whatsoever beyond the fact that she's commenting on the rugby. If she can't do that one simple thing in an evenhanded way then she isn't doing her job and should be replaced by someone who can.'"


Oh, I agree but a small part does admire that she’s so brazen about it on social media. I can’t quite work out if she’s just being totally honest and doesn’t care of the consequences or if she’s a bit dense. It may be the latter because she’s admitted she is a biased Leeds fan/Yorkshire club cheerleader but then says she doesn’t understand why Wigan fans have an issue with her. In the job she’s in, you can’t openly admit to things like that. It also might be a bit awkward if C4 want to get Martin Offiah involved again!

At least we've an idea where her bias comes from. Unlike Carney & O'Connor on SKY. Both have serious issues with Wigan. Oddly enough the pundits who give Wigan the fairest crack of the whip tend to be former Saints players.

Just not very good at her job and her behaviour on X only amplifies her bitterness.
