I've just watched a one-hour preview on Sky Sports. I'm furious. why oh why do our producers have to deify their players? Barely a mention about the English side and almost three-quarters of the programme dedicated to Darren sodding Lockyer. OK, he's been a great player for the Aussies but this programme was produced in England for an English audience

I turned it off after 5 minutes Alan, its the same when rain stops play in the cricket they never show England winning in the replays.Remind me again who owns Sky

you two should give the lad credit where it's due................, the programme was brilliant and a true testimony of a great player and a superb person as well. lockyer came across as a very level headed and humble man who just wanted to play rugby league.........

I hope he has a bad game today then we could win,although i still fancy England to win if he has a good game,he has been one of the all time greats.

Had the programme been billed as "A tribute to Darren Lockyer" it'd have been fine. It was, however, billed as a match preview

[gangad]

I never said he was`nt a great player HJ but as Alan points out it was billed as a preview show this should have been shown on its own as a tribute after the game when he will retire Anyway lets have a good clean game hopefully with the right result for England

Disappointment is too weak a word. We are as far away as ever, even after the rub of the green with refereeing decisions

The game went pear shape as soon as Graham went off for a break.
