Have they gone part time? Bit late in the day for Mick to be learning how to be a plumber too. He might have had to move on.

Well there are a few names that derive from Edward, but I assume he decided he preferred 'Ted' - which is the reason why everyone apart from the BCB commentator calls him 'Ted'

Wish we could have Jay instead of Ted much better player

Yeah just realised we had Ted and not Jay. Confused myself!

Batley also had someone called 'Brambeeni', who wasn't mentioned in the T&A..

Commentary does seem to slow down and meander a bit and then suddenly come back to life - usually with a comment about "being on the 30 or 40 meter line", but not mentioning whether it's ours or theirs..
David Doyle Davidson (DDD) on Radio Blunderside was a master of that sort of commentary. He would talk about anything and everything when the visitors had the ball but he would immediately snap back to turbocharged mode the instant FC took possession. Pete seems to do it randomly, though.

To be fair to Pete, he's new and you don't become top rank immediately and if things are pointed out it gives a target for him to aim for - like playing, it takes a bit of practice and in truth I don't think I could do it.

Official Super League account has just tweeted the teams for Wire/Widnes. They've called him Ed too. Probably because it's his name.
He goes by "Teddy" on his own twitter account, something I've not seen any media outlet refer to him as. Seems fairly clear he's not all that bothered about which shortened version he uses. Except I expect he doesn't like being called Jay (which incidentally is short for James...). Point remains, it was hardly something to pick the commentator up about.
