Not a fan of Woods, although he didn't do too bad. Wilkin? Well, that gob$h!t3 is unbearable.

Wilkin looked like he had just rolled out of bed without having a wash or combing his hair.

Oh BTW, it'll be interesting to see what sort of bans are handed out for all these offences. If we're comparing it to Vaughan pulling on a player's shirt and getting 4 games, then we should see the three players last night getting more. My guess is we won't. Pele certainly won't get a McGuire-length ban anyway.

It'll be interesting to see what they do with him. The tackle was fine, no problems there. The swinging arm on the floor is apparently a 4-6 game ban under the new guidelines. The punch to the back of the head of Lewis in the resulting handbags is 8+. I'm not sure what his record in the NRL was like, but he seems to have a reputation as a toughguy, so I can't imagine it was perfect. They could let him off by saying they both missed, it's hard to tell really on the Sky footage. But if they use it to make a statement, as they often do early in the season, he could be looking at being banned until the last week in May.

Wilkin is claiming Hull Fc should have had 3 red cards, (maybe), yet when it's Saints he defends it, and says he loves the aggression. He should be nowhere near our screens. He's never really interested in what others have to say, and always trying to talk over them. Sky have made a mistake keeping this clown.

He will probably be a commentator on BBC`s coverage of Super League too.

Wilkin could be explaining a recipe to his Mrs and by the time he's got to the point she'd have made tea, washed up, had a shower and been in bed for 3 hours

It will be interesting to see how foul play compares in the eyes of the disciplinary panel with a poor choice of words that can cause offence .

Watched the game live, but on my laptop on SKY-GO to get a feel for how the SKY streamed games will be like to view..

There was a time delay on the commentary by about 20 to 30 seconds (Some might say that is a big plus), meaning that I had already watched the game action live before I heard the commentators describe it.

Is there always a sound delay on SKY-GO, or was it just last nights coverage that was faulty?

I’ve never had a voice/picture phasing issue on my iOS phone or iPad.
Sky Go streams has delay from the tv signal though.
At least a minute behind the tv, which in turn is also at least another minute behind the radio!

Let's see what happens.

Brierley in big trouble here

EDIT: weird one, convinced that'd have been red!
