I wouldnt think too much into it. Its just Sky.
Im a Crewe fan and was watching them in the JPT Final on Sunday.
During that match they were raving about Crewe as if they were a premiership team. They obviously arent having "an exceptional season" as theyre not even in the playoff places in their league but youd think they were the best team in the country how they were going on.

Unfortunately Leeds are on TV every week? And get first billing on fulltime? |

I think that a lot of you throw a deaf ear at Phil Clarke having a Tommy Tank over Wigan near on every week (if you're playing or not).
Both Eddie and Stevo Big you up also.
End of the day, do what we do and you might win something.

Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.

But I fully understand Wigan's obsession with Leeds. I welcome it. Leeds had a similar thing with Saints for a while before we showed them the door. |

Too right, Tony! The Whinos never quite reached the same heights as the mighty Bulls era. They came, they saw, but they didn't quite conquer! And I can't see them spawning yet another GF this season. So as one Ronnie said to the other ... "It's goodnight from me, and it's goodnight from him!"

| Quote: Father Ted "What a lot of us are concerned about is the fact the now under the SKY dominance the GF selects the "League Champions".
What is actually happening week in and week out though is that summaries of coaches when they play various teams is that they tell us "(N) are the best team in the comp". In 2010 it was Wigan, 2011 Warrington and 2012 Wigan again.
They say that because they were playing the best rugby and winning more than anyone, losing fewer, scoring more points than others and conceding fewer.
Those facts select the best team in the League yet only in 2010 did the best team in the League win the GF.
The concept that the League Champions are by definition the best team in the League has been undermined by the facts as they currently are. Leeds were the best team in the League in 2009.
How we overcome this I'm not sure but one way surely is that the League Leaders get an automatic place in the GF. That's not going to happen as it would require a two week play off or otherwise the LL will be waiting for 2 weeks or more for the Grand Final to come around.
The other is to recognise the League Leaders properly with a far better trophy than now and also with a substantial financial reward for what is the most difficult trophy to win.'"
Maybe the Wigan chairman can give the original championship trophy back to the RFL so that you don't have to play for the peanut dish.  |

They are the reason why I am cancelling my Sky subscription in June. As now cant stand having the TV on as all I want to do is put my foot through the TV or worse speak to my Mrs.
Stevo needs to go and so does Eddie. I can't remember which match it was but Phil and Brian were on and they were debating and it was quite interesting listening to them as they came across as knowledgable and Stevo didn't join in and started doing comentary instead. I also watched Back Chat last week and it was pleasure not to have Stevo on there and Baz seemed knowledagable and quite humorous as well.

The obsession at Leeds is certainly with Bentham, Silverwood used to be a season ticket holder at Headingly, before he became a second rate referee. So they yorkshire puds have always got him on side for split decisions. But whenever Bentham (lives in Leigh, not wire by the way ), gives anything against them, then suddenly the conspiracy theories filter out.......
I agree about the commentry duffers. I would love to sit with them and explain the rules, particularly Stevo, as the game goes on. It can be a bit embarrassing to listen to them when they are supposed to be the premier team.
As far as Phil Clarke is concerned, he speaks the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth....always honest...never shows bias, and I think he is wonderful.......

| Quote: Dougy "Well it's only 75 mins less than the time used as evidence to define the entire season with GF. How ridiculous is that??!'"
I actually believe that our GF record since 2004 deserves such adulation on Sky TV and if any of you moaning fans don't like this then try to cheer your own club on a bit more and try to emulate the best SL side ever and deliver something to beat the Rhinos
For everything you have to put up with regarding Eddie and Stevo, us Rhinos fans have to constantly listen to Phil Clarke's constantly biased droolings of all things Wigan
He is the most biased presenter on Sky TV without a doubt,but not to Wigan fans obviously |

It's just what the commentators do. Whoevers at the top is over-hyped and can do no wrong. It's happened with all the top teams over the years.
They lack the mental capacity to offer any real insight or form their own opinions. I really wouldn't get wound up too much by it, I'm sure they'll be fawning over wigan by the end of this season.

If you don't bother to go to the game when you live in the locality then you are not really a fan and therefore your views are invalid. It's simple.:icons39ad_files/4821-1859san_c-msnicons.jpg |
