It's funny, take a gander at the comments by every team's fans (yes, fully including saints fans) every week and it's the same script every time. It's almost like this stuff isn't biased at all and RL fans are uniquely prone to whinging for the sake of it.
On a serious note, I agree with your summation of both the Wire performance and ours. We were incredibly rubbish with ball in hand and I don't see it getting better this year.
On the Sky coverage, it's a bit crap. It's been crap for a really long time, although I'd argue that it's been slightly less crap this season when compared to the last 5 at least. I also found the Matt Peet close access cringe last week, and ditto the Sam Burgess close access cringe this week, but I won't criticise too much as at least they're trying new stuff to keep things fresh. It won't all work. Hope they sack it off soon though
Do I win a prize for getting all four on the checklist
By the way I said he looks like he would go on to be a good player, but I just think at the moment he is overhyped based off one game, will he make it, who knows, Wigan players of the past have been littered with the next big thing, then they just don't go on to reach their potential, I just wish the Sky pundits would stop over egging them when they have barely played a game
