In poker we call that "meta-gaming".

Footballers spend 90 minutes pretending they're injured. Rugby League players spend 80 minutes pretending they're not.

Sam got away with it as the ball deflected back to him allowing him to score, also in the context of the match it didn't really matter. I would hope if he was in exactly the same field position next week that Sam would draw the fullback and slip the pass to Finch who was alongside him with a clear run in to the line.
Missed Sams try....does anyone Know where I can see it?

It's a random programme if you ask me - random days, times, commentators - the only thing not random appears to be a certain yorkshire bias with their guests and therefore opinions.

I know posters on here have distinct opinions about Sky & their coverage (personally, the only reason we have Sky at all is to watch RL) but the BBC bit on Josh sums up their view on RL, as with all sports. It has to be personality-driven with the focus on players off the field. Nice to see Josh (presumably before injury) enjoying some downtime and helping out in a deserving cause but it was baffling.

I'd rather Sky got the Cup as well as Super League - the BBC RL coverage is awful and mired in the past. At least Ray French has been put out to grass with his constant amazement that modern forwards can hold and pass the ball and wingers come in at the first play the ball - "Not like in my day etc. etc. " with Jonathan Davies being required to tell him what's just happened in the match.

As for the lovely Tanya - it's a bit unkind but I keep wondering if she's got an Adam's Apple.
