I remember about 3 or 4 years ago when we played Wire at the Halliwell Jones, Gareth Carvell took the ball and ran about 30 metres with it and crossed the line. I think he knocked on or something, and the try went to the screen - it was a clear no try, but I remember Eddie and Stevo saying he should be rewarded the try regardless of the mistake because he'd done wonderfully for a prop forward. A ridiculous suggestion, I know.

In the same vain, could the RFL please just award Louis McCarthy-Scarsbrook an honourary four points after his herculian effort yesterday. He scored a try last season (against Wakefield, I think?) where he ran about 40 metres - but this was 80 metres plus. He's probably still gasping for air now!

What annoyed me with that was the poop being spouted by the commentators applauding Atkins for catching him. Eddie tried at every opportunity to take the shine off Saints performance by congratulating anything Wire did. I'm sick of paying £80 a month for sky to mute it during large parts of the match cause of them two idiots! they really would make a priest swear.

haha the lot! sky plus HD, unlimited internet, movies, sports and all other stuff.

I can't be on my own though thinking these idiots should be replaced now. Imagine if you had never watched the game before and tuned in last night as Saints were running wild and had to listen to them.. you wouldn't want to watch another match would you.

I have Sky HD 3D but only pay about £65 per month (I think, I hope)

Clearly a lack of pace from LMS. What do Rushy and KC think they are doing? The modern game requires mobile props and it is obvious their training methods are sadly lacking in this area. When was the last time you saw a prop fail to finish off a 90m break? Disgusted!!!!!
