Not wanting to jump to Hemmings defence, I still feel he has something to offer..the interview with Brian MacDermott straight after the World Club Challenge (on the red button) was excellent. He had our coach relaxed and chatty and i found some of the interview a real insight. Maybe he would be better suited to that sort of role. Commentary is always more interesting for me when it's done by a recently retired player or current coach..their experience of working on the front line is always more informative.

IMO both Stevo and Hemmings should not be allowed anywhere near the gantry. Stevo should be told to stay in his museum in Huddersfield and Hemmings should go with him as a artefact.

I'd have Carney presenting the show with a ex player/coach from each of the two competing teams as guest summarisers. I'd give the match commentary to someone new, with Wells as a technical summariser plus a yet to be decided pitchside reporter.

I think it would be good to get an Aussie in the commentary box (other than Mcrae) so we can get an insight from a different type of point of view. As long as they don't spend a majority of time harping on about how the NRL is better, but maybe highlighting the differences etc.

Strange he didn't notice a similar thing in Friday's game when Hall was chasing Griffin for his try - in fact that one was more overt as the Cas player appeared to change direction slightly.

But that's typical of the Sky commentary - as has been said, they pick up on one thing and go on and on and on and on and on about it in a generally ill-informed way. Then another time the same thing happens and they either don't notice or come to a different conclusion.

I noticed that too, but Hall was too honest, and didn't make an issue of it. Others would have gone down in a heap. He probably should have grappled as this would at least have drawn the refs attention to it. It would still have been a try though IMO
