I don’t think that I can recall such a one sided commentary . All the talk was about HKR. I felt that Wigan were a team from Australia who we in this country were hoping to beat.
HKR rightly got some praise but I felt the commentary team almost willed them on .

I agree it was very biased watching it back.Not one of them mentioned the possible penslty try for bevan.The most annoying part was the comments on goal kicking.I honestly thought that it was tactical to put more pressure on harry.Miskis try should have brought the commentary house down but they all sounded gutted.Very very poor

On balance, I don't think there was enough for a pen try, but I agree that you'd have thought it would be part of the conversation. Betcha if a HKR player had been pulled back, it would have been different.

Thats an interesting point but pen try wasn't even discussed....

Very biased commentary. All we heard was how good the Hull KR attack and defence is. John Wells was just outrageously over the top with his comments. I've never been a lover of the sky commentators and last night was by far the worst yet.

How on earth does the Sky commentary impact Harry taking kicks in the game?

Come on.

If you read what ive put you would understand i mean putting more pressure on him.Of course pressure impacts a player.His game play is very good its just its kicking that is off.Do you think that the players listen to commentary and read comments about them? Honestly? As you said COME ON
