Quote: The Devil's Advocate "The whole diatribe from Eddie & Stevo after Lee Smith passed the ball when he was tackled was truly embarrassing.
They were still arguing about it after Catalans had kicked off after the try, when if watched in real time, ala Bentham, it was a close call, but no, they have to play it back in slow motion again & again to prove the point – pathetic.
Good effort from the lads, TBH a very comfortable victory, Collis was very good & the defence was much better too – apart from Timmy who’s gone from a rubbish tackler, to a non-existent one.'"
Couldn't agree more - that rant about the L.Smith pass was cringeworthy; even Eddie tried to shut it down but Stevo wouldn't let it go.
Not sure if Phil Clarke harbours some grudge against Tim Smith from his Wigan days, but as soon as that sublime pass was thrown, he said "That was forward." If Matty Smith had thrown that pass, Clarkey would be reaching for the Kleenex.
To cap it all off, they decided early on that the pitch was too hard and then referred back to it all night, in between lamenting the Catalans injuries - failing to mention that they were replaced by internationals, one of whom scored two tries.
It's just embarrassing now - Sky must realise that they're ruining the enjoyment of televised games.
