What, the Beeb have a lady commentating on Leeds v Saints?

Presumably Sharon Shortle, who knows the sport inside out?

Oledski has passed his HIA and is back on.

no

Good angle to see the kick from there ….

[MZH]

Sheffield have tied it up, 10-10. Superb effort from them so far.

[JohnM]

To all the moaners and groaners, here's a bonus. Where the on-screen tackle count?

Yeah, nothing against her. Newsum is pretty dreadful as well IMO.

It's as if the camera crew have never covered RL before. Very peculiar.

Correction: not the camera crew, but the editor picking wrong angles on the fly.

All that excellent defence by Leeds and they let in a soft try like that.

I’m really not sure in what reality the Yorkshire accented Sharon Shortle sounds anything like the very scouse Cilla Black

Let's hope the raw footage goes through the hands of someone who knows what's what, so the highlights look a bit better.

well she dunt sound like Brian Glover

Just 1 talking point from that half. If the RFL knew how bad that production value was going to be, they should be ashamed. If they didn't, they should be making a complaint.

Absolutely no respect to one of the oldest sports knockout competition in the world.

They do if your default perception is that all women are screeching.

Sheffield led 12-10 but they got a yellow card right on half time and Wigan kicked the penalty. So it's 12-12, but Sheffield will still have pretty much 10 minutes with 12 men.

Should never have even been a penalty, never mind a yellow imo.
