| So hinted John Kear.
The conspiracy theorist in me couldn't agree more, as they can say "told you so" if they beat possibly the second weakest Superleague side on the opening evening of the season, having given them a 'franchise' despite them finishing nowhere last season.
The management of our game at the top level is the biggest joke in sport IMHO.

| Forgot to mention, I'd missed "outfit, on the angle, unit, siuuperb, in the forwards, fingertip blah blah blah" from the moronic Stevo.
Volume would be off if Kear wasn't in the studio.

| Thought Wakey played well and got a deserved win.
That pitch is going to cause problems though.

Muted the sound because of the commentry, Stevo really does grate your senses and could do with out his 'expert' opinion's. Pleased for Wakefield and Richard Agar (who I think's a good coach) I thought they were excellent in defence, jury is out on Widnes just yet.

Yes it was.
It is based on a number of parameters at any particular point in the game ...the score, possession, penalties etc in an attempt tp predict the winning team and the margin of victory.
It might get quietly dropped, if yesterday was anything to go by.

Last night and the story of the Margin Meter .........
After about 10 minutes or so with the score at 0-0 the Magic Margin Meter made its first appearance. The forecast was for Cas to win by 20 points.
Fair enough, they won by 14 points.
EXCEPT ............Salford scored first, an unconverted try. Score 4-0 to Salford. after which the Margin Meter made its second appearance ... forecast Salford to win by about 13. The commentary team howled with laughter apart from Clarkey, since it is his baby.
Now Clarkey was all defensive, pointing out that it was early days yet and there may be some fine-tuning to be done.
Then he said that the score was not part of the inputed data and that the Magic Margin Meter did not know the score. Instead it was going on data like possession times, yards gained in plays and so on.
Well if that is the case, how come when Salford scored 4 points (with very little change in possession and territory and yards gained, since Cas were still the better side) did the Margin Meter shift by 20+13 = 33 points???
The Magic Margin Meter should have still predicted a Cas win, but by about 10-16 points. Since all that had fundamentally changed was Salford got 4 points... alright there will have been a small shift in territory, possession and yards gained but come on!
Anyway, Phil is sticking with his Magic Margin Meter.

He didn't see the funny side.
