What was that all about, it totally spoiled the viewing showing previous plays when the game is live and I am missing the play. It was to far away from the play and in the end I started to feel sick, as for as I am concerned they can take the Spider Cam and send it in the next rocket to the moon. Ps do you get the feeling that Stevo and Eddie are slightly prejudiced against Wigan.

For the first time i actually turned the sound off and listened to the commentary on Wish fm.
I know i'm a WW supporter but the anti Wigan comments by the SKY dicks was beyound belief.They just did not want WW to win,when the 2nd half Leeds try was ruled out i thought EH was having a heart attack.

Completely agree and hope that they don't bring that in full time.
On your second point, not so much Stevo ( I happen to like the fella and respect his views/opinions), but for a long time I've felt that Eddie has had it in for Wigan. His snide, prejudiced remarks irritate me.

I liked it and as the weekend went on the operators got better at providing the 'right' footage. They'd never done RL before and covering football is a different sweep altogether.

I think it provided a nice angled attacking view and showed much more clearly how loose ruck control generates holes and gaps.

I always turn the sound off the tv & listen to it on the radio if for some reason I can't attend a game. Yesterday listened to radio Manchester, they too were a bit anti Wigan, mind you one of the summarisers was Paul Rowley, coach of Leigh!!!

The spidercam could have been good if used sparingly and if the operator understood the game.

Instead at times it felt like we were watching from another town, and the director shouldn't have gone to that camera as often, especially on the 5th tackle which meant we had no idea what was actually going on.
