What is Anderson moaning about?? he states St Helens had 70 ganes lastyear?!????!!!! did they play in a diferrent league to us? we only had 27 league games lastyear!! did they have to play 43 games to get to the challenge cup final??

He is a really good choice as Stains Coach as i hate him as much as the rest of them!!

I thought there was way too much chat and not enough action. Cullen was particularly boring. In the great tradition of Warrington coaches (Tony Barrow springs to mind immediately), all he did throughout was complain about their injuries. We suffered a dire injury situation a year earlier, but I never remember anything comparable to his whingeing.

As for the rest of it, Sky's idea of action seems to be quick-fire, tightly-edited sequences, with the camera always close to the action. Sorry, but I prefer the old BBC method, where you feature a succession of tries, all shot from high up, with the entire build-up to each try also included. It may make the game seem slightly slower, but it would have been far more rewarding for the armchair fan.

The Beeb treated RL like a joke and I'd sooner have Sky any day, but that doesn't mean that everything they do is right, as programmes like this tend to show.

I've got to agree, I didn't really see what the point was of showing Angela Powers driving around different places, and the structure seemed a bit strange with stuff like the Paul Cooke "transfer" saga being raised several times instead of being dealt with in one segment. Not great, but at least they managed to find a few minutes to fit in some other sport in the middle of the otherwise seemingly endless soccer coverage...

I doubt the spelling today would be any different to any other time of the year. Some people don't need to be under the influence of anything to start typing weird stuff...

They only showed the crowd shots once and that was of me going crazy after Hansens try at odsal.
