Agreed. I find Andy Wilson particularly irritating. Being the RL journalist for The Guardian means he only gets about 200 words a week - so how does he use them? About four weeks ago, he wrote a story about Wigan must envy the "homegrown" talent on display at St Helens? 
Yeah. That was a 'choke on your breakfast' moment, that was.
I don't know what it is, but I can only assume that a lot of these journos are typical 'small men in small job' type characters. They've never managed to throw off their old club preferences because they don't actually realise that's something they're supposed to do. But then, in that respect, I suppose they're pretty representative of nearly everyone else employed in RL.
I suspect IL and co feel they should rise above this sort of stuff, and be more professional. But the question I ask is how much biased crap can you endure from the supposed neutrals before you snap back? It's not as if being professional worries a lof these guys. Eddie Hemming's famous comment "So can Leeds beat Wigan this weekend," and Stevo responding with something like "let's hope so", springs to mind. Eddie simmering with rage on the night Maurice quite rightly won round one of the points-deduction tribunal is another. With the Muppet Show on Sky, I suspect it still boils down to that incident all those years ago when they weren't invited to a testimonial golf day that Andy Farrell had either organised or was to be the beneficiary of. They were shallow enough to raise the subject on TV. A true nadir even among their pathetic moments.
