Not wishing to be unkind, but nobody wants Terry O'Connor commentating on Sky Sports RL matches.
If you have given him a contract, restrict him to interviewing players.
Failing that, at least send him for ongoing elocution lessons and ban him from saying 'you', 'your' and 'setasix'. PLEASE. I bet you he will say those three at least a hundred times during a commentary given the chance.
The problem is unfixable though as he doesn't have the IQ to be a good TV commentator.
I know he is from a different sport, but put Brian Moore (from Halifax, so can't be bad! and a former International rubgy player) on commentary with Hemmings and MC Dermott, and Sky sports RL viewing figures would rocket.

O'Connor is awful and has no place on TV, but Brian Moore, really? Way to ruin a pretty good post.

Why not? As a pundit I quite liked him, said what many fans thought and din't mind a genuine rant live on air that was actually accurate. He certainly has respect for Rugby league as a sport but think he's a bit busy at the moment with his baby twins. (you should also listen to his desert island discs broadcast www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01cj4ky )
With all due respect to Mr O'Conner, he shouldn't be within a mile of a microphone with respect to commentating or match punditry a la Stevo. On/off field having a general chat with coach or players I don't mind but I'm sure there are better. |

Brian Moore? A man who would happily see the slow and painful demise of rugby league. Great idea  |
