I'd get rid of the lot of em except for carney n maybe barrie and tez if i have to hear 'the champions' one more time ill scream and thats from a leeds fan

Carney by far is the best. He genuinely seems embarrassed at times with what is being said and tries to argue and give a differing opinion without it taking over the whole of commentary.

Tony Rea was a big loss to the Sky team and i agree Carney is decent.
I quite liked barrie and Tez doing the Championship and they aren't as cringeworthy as the senile Stevo ,fluent in bollox Clarke or the jibbering idiot Hemmings.

Totally disagree.

I don't see what is wrong with his split down the middle comment. He's trying to say there is an even division. A city divided doesn't make that statement.

And anyway, he's new in the job and these are just minor points you're picking on. His actual job is to analyse the tries and he does this very very well. Whilst I disagree with his Tickle no-try analysis, that is just one in many that I feel he's gotten wrong (but wring in a positive way in that he's agreeing with the officials, and not bickering against them like the rest and detracting from the game).

I think it's extremely unfair to call him an idiot on the back of two borderline comments. Do you not think his analysis is good? And whose was better?

Carney looks to be the heir apparent to Wiggy but as yet there doesn't seem to be a clear contender to Baldy Knumbnut's spot in the box as yet.

Barrie often drops quite funny quips into his commentary and with Tez add a little comedy relief to proceedings but not entirely sure that's what I want from a co-commentator.

Clarke... well the less said about this moron the better.

Jon Wells is OK doing what he does but don't know if I could stomach a full game with his uninspired comments.

Bill Arthur???

Rod Studd instead of Hemmings, Brian Noble instead of Stevo, Brian Carney instead of Clarke.

It does seem strange that they'd let a winger/full back come to us on loan and then play a young Cook Islands player in Richards's wing spot.

I think you will find that most Wigan fans can't stand listening to him either.

Matty Russell isn't a winger, he's a fullback. He's been used on the wing for the under 20's but it's not his best position by any means. Anyone can play on the wing at under 20's level but he's not a SL winger and probably never will be.

He was given an opportunity on the wing against Salford and was very poor so went down the pecking order. It's better for him to play in his best position week in week out than being played where he isn't comfortable and under lots of pressure.

Wigan also have a young winger called Ryan King who has been doing well for the under 20's. He got a chance against North Wales. He's injured though, so he's not really going to be in contention for a starting spot.

The only other players are just kids who aren't ready for SL yet. Since Gelling was signed as a potential replacement for Carmont he needs as many first team games as possible to get up to speed for next year, so sticking him on the wing is the best option right now.
