I actually wondered last night if Matty Russell is on Andy Clarkes books?

I wouldnt be surprised and I hadnt even thought of that, it certainly would explain his tirade. I know of players that left Andy Clarke for other agents and now Phil never seems to mention them no matter how well they play.

| Quote Cherry.Pie="Cherry.Pie"The commentators know bugger all about the situations at the clubs, how players are performing and who might be injured or out of form.
It shows when they big up any youngster who happens to play a game on Sky and make them sound like a world beater when they've probably never even seen them play.
Gelling played ahead of Russell because Russell was poor in his one game on the wing, missed tackles for fun and coped awfully with a cross field kick. He is only 18 so has plenty of time and has been able to secure a move on loan to Hull which will be beneficial and allow him to play in his best position. To just throw him in regardless would be bad coaching.
Gelling played ahead of King because he performed better when they were both given a chance to impress which puts him ahead in the pecking order. It's also an opportunity to keep Gelling involved with the first team when opportunities aren't available to play in the centres, where he'd still be a liability defensively.
King will get his chance, but Gelling, as one of a few potential replacements for Carmont, needs to get up to speed quickly.
Simple explanations, but the commentators don't think before they speak.'"
Exactly right. Waney is doing things exactly right regarding the youngsters, IMO...much more so than Madge did, in fact. Competition for places should, and now does, mean exactly that, irrespective of where they come from.

| Not heard the comments but they don't suprise me.
Any comments on Hull KR's 10 overseas players that would have been 11 had Webster been fit?
Any Comments on us having about 8 players in the England and England Knights set up and numerous in the academy teams?

Nope, just that we'd had the cheek to fly in a Kiwi when we have Russell and King who are more than capable of playing the role.
Clarke lost it when he went stats mad. It's time to go and make a cup of tea when he comes on at half time. It's ridiculous.

Famous, Being able to talk rubbish is a prerequsite for being able to get a job as an understudy Wiggy and Baldy .

| They should all just stick to the rugby. Clarke, Hemmings and Stevo are entitled to air their opinions but surely we are as entitled not to be subjected to them, at least when they are match commentating. Wonder if Phil held the same view about using home grown players when he transferred down under??? Doubt it very much.

| To be honest, it's all getting a bit irksome.
Every time Wigan are on Sky these days, regardless of whether they win or lose, the Muppet Show seems to have reason to criticise us - and yet no context is ever offered.
The BBC aren't too far behind them, if we're honest. Jonathan Davies's petulance because we had the nerve to win at Wembley last year was utterly pathetic.
But Sky are far and away the worst offenders. The commentary on the Featherstone game was the least professional I've ever heard - it was the sort of thing you'd expect at a schoolboy match from one of the parents. Baldy and Wigfinder's record goes way back beyond that.
Now that IL's won his bout with Big Dave, I wonder if he fancies his chances with the s who run Sky Sport.

| Always liked Jonathan Davies until the cup final last year when he was an absolute disgrace.
He was nearly in tears because he felt Leeds were robbed.

Probably because he lost money on them.
