23 years. Wow.

He always used to bat for Wire in the early days, but his Wigan heritage was always just underneath the surface. I guess this will please some, I didn't mind him so much.

Does that mean we have to listen to Wilkin even more.

Good to see, long overdue. He could do with taking Baz and Tez with him as well. The coverage needs a major overhaul.

Clarke should have left years ago. His position was always a conflict of interests, he used it repeatedly to big up the players his brother had as clients as a RL agent. He made some ridiculous statements about players and you could always tell which of his brother's players were looking for a move when they started being highlighted for no apparent reason.

He also made repeated attempts to influence the game as well. Most recently when he called Saints cheats and called for the referees to stop allowing us to concede six agains rather than letting tries in, just before a game against Wigan. He also called for several players to be banned the week before they were playing Wigan, another abuse of his position.

Wilkin is no better, I hope Sky aren't going to push him into the 'say something controversial for the sake of it' role. He annoys enough people just breathing that he'll drive people away from the coverage if they give him more of a platform.

Keep Carney, get rid of the rest of them.

Hopefully Wilkin follows him.

Good luck to Phil in his next adventure as a submarine captain.

He'll be replaced by someone just as dull as the others, my god how i miss Eddie and Stevo, actual personalities with humour. Now we sit listening to bland dull person after bland dull person.
Hearing the start to each game will now only be 15mins before kick off each game, and i cannot wait :-)
