even when Hemmings was giving the league table at the end of the show he couldnt bring himself to say Wigan are at the top, he started with Wire being below us then carried on

watchin the replay back what really made me laugh was when eddie says about gleesons hand off on wilkin ,when wilkin complained to thaler eddie was straight in with a comment about a open handed slap obviously never played the game time for sky to ditch the pair of half wits,saying that stevo and clarkie seemed to distance themselves from the idiot

Every time Eddie mentions the league positions he says something along the lines of 'Wigan at the top with Warrington and St Helens breating down their necks'.

Now if St Helens or Wire or Leeds were at the top he would be saying they were 'flying high at the top of table' with no mention to anyone breathing down their necks.

I wouldn't want Barrie Mac he gets on my nerves.

I would like the bloke of Sky Sports news who did the RL coverage during the world cup, him and Phil Clarke.

Just watched the game again for the 3rd time and when O'Loughlin breaks out of the scrum you want to hear Eddie

"Ermmm????? ....hang on??!!!!! How on earth did that come about, we'll have a look at that later.

I never spotted Eddie being biased against us until reading things on here but now I do.

Agreed.

Bill Arthur and Phil Clarke would be a decent pairing for SKY with Rod Studd as the touchline reporter. Ditch Eddie, Stevo, Barrie, Terry & Carney and bring in somebody who doesn't stammer like an idiot to analyse the games on Boots N All instead of Cullen and we'll be much better.

How unbelievably pathetic-

Typical Lobby

I've just watched the game back and i thought it was disgraceful. I hadn't seen this thread but after watching the game i would have been shocked if there wasn't a thread about it. Their hatred for Wigan is so blatent. Calling for more penalties fot Stains, calling for Wigan players to be sin-binned, calling for SOL to be put on report for his high shot and then nothing when Wilkin did the exact same thing. The list goes on, it was embarrassing!!

The one thing that got me was this comment

'There is much between the two sides in relation to laying on in the tackle but Saints have been....' he cut himself off before he said that Saints had been pinned for holding down in the tackle more than Wigan, which obviously wasn't the case as we were caned. Watch it back and listen to that comment. It's at the beginning of the second half, somwhere around the time we get the scrum from goulding's offload and meli knocks it into touch.

And Stevo's insightful, unbiased comments,...... we are camped in the Skints 20, with the scousers trying to break out and he comes up with ......"and wigan are playing a superior side on their home turf blah blah blah"

ummmm......... 14-0 up, 2 points ahead in the table, butchers dogs v Stains fat boys......... a Superior side??? - are we watching the same match????

Yarkshire tool

Hillarious !
I can imagine him shouting it now, i hate Eddie he is so unproffessional hes an embarrasment to British RL. And it doenst have to be Wigan playing Saints for him to show his true colours. Stevo isn't the greatest commentator in the world but i can deal with him as he kind of knows what hes saying and can be funny.

Could a petition not be put together and sent to Sky, we hate Eddie.

ATEOTD,,,Doesen*t matter what eddie or Stevo says Wigan won the game and have had a great start to the season.The debate about these two have been going on for years now,,,personally i thought that the comms from the Hull derby were much better....

I loved it when Dean went over on his back: "HE'S SCORED!!!"


...No Eddie you dumb bar stool, he's on his back... and then he knocked out. Wishful thinking. Now go home.

Phil Clarke & Terry O'Connor are OK, they talk about the game rather than the teams. If they think a team is playing well, they will say so. Eddie & Stevo are a joke, however they do bring the passion to the commentary that others don't. I'd rather listen to exciting expressions from Stevo, than average commentary by Dave Woods for example. Ray French is in the same category as Eddie&Stevo.

The worse and most biased piece of commentating yesterday was when Stepho Shouted for Roberts to be sin binned when he took out the Saints player with a shoulder charge.

If i recall it was "Cmon ref send him off" "thats a professional foul". Yet said nothing first half when we broke down the right flank and Roberts got held down. Which often results in a sin bin as its regarded as a professional foul. Also he said that the scrum we won against the head should have been reset as Lockers broke early. He broke early as our front 5 dismantled the saints scrum.

Both are so desperate for Wigan to lose its a joke, and the amount of times he had an orgasm when KC had the ball near our tryline was embarrasing. Great KC has been in the past hes not the force he once was. Though he still a very good player.

Its embarrasing tbh.

I do think it's time for SKY to have a shake up of the commentary team, why not have one main commentator and a different guest summariser each week that should reduce any feeling of biasedness.

Maybe leave Eddie & Stevo to host Boots 'n' All
