The most iconic Super League commentary in history is commonly considered to be Eddie Hemmings' "Wide to West!" during a pivotal game between St Helens and Bradford Bulls in 2000.

The game was a crucial play-off match with both teams vying for the Super League championship.

With just seconds left on the clock and Bradford leading 11-10, St Helens orchestrated a memorable try involving players such as Sean Long, Kevin Iro, Sean Hoppe, Steve Hall, Tim Jonkers, Dwayne West, and Chris Joynt.

Hemmings' commentary immortalized the moment as he exclaimed, "Long fancies it…it's wide to West…Dwayne West, inside to Joynt…Joynt…Joynt!" The play and Hemmings' words have since become a legendary part of Super League history.
