Anyone who watches the Co-Op Leagues on a Thursday can hear what decent commentary is. The team of Bill Arthur, Barrie Mac & Terry O'Connor is FAR better than Eddie & Stevo are these days.

Don't have a problem with Eddie, but Stevo is getting worse.

Remember this is the wakner who said potentially actionable things about Bulls finances earlier in the season. Maybe the club gave the jerk a warning, and he's taking every opportunity to get his own back? Just a guess of course.

My major problem with Stevo is his calling tries when the video quite clearly shows loss of control - he still doesn't change his mind.

I think Eddie is the biggest b####ck on there though.

Phil Clarke however, despite his over the top analogies is generally spot on. Barry Mac can be hilarious and Terry O'Connor after a shaky start is showing some promise as a pundit

I said a while back that it came from burgess' mouth that he was going to manly?? the deal could have changed at the 11th hour but he sounded pretty sure it was manly

Best commentator is Dave Woods from the BBC imo.
Don't have a problem with Phil Clarke or Barrie Mac though.
Eddie has started to make more and more mistakes as the season has progressed, and Stevo just talks 99% bullsh*t.
Terry O' Conner is ok as a pundit, but I don't really like him as a commentator, his pronunciation isn't quite at the same standards as the rest of them.

My only gripe with Clarkey is a bit patronising and it seems like he assumes the public don't have the slightest about RL. Other than that I find his analysis pretty interesting.

He doesn't really hide his Wigan bias though does he...



Agree about the Thursday night team - Bill Arthur, Barry Mac and Terry O Connor - they do a top job.

He may as well be wearing his Wigan Scarf and Hat.

He isn't going to be able to though is he?

He's Wiganese after all.

When Wigan aren't playing, Clarkey enjoys a certain bias towards whomever the Lancashire (or close enough to) team are.

Leaving aside his commentating ability, Stevo isnt a journalist. He probably picks up numerous bits of gossip and has plenty of contacts but doesnt strike me as a journo who goes looking for stories.

I've always assumed that his column is about 70% ghosted and his tips are mainly provided by LE's "proper" journos.

That's true isn't it?

No you're right definitely no lead man, good to bring in as colour commentator adding technical gravitas to a discussion ie Applying a bit of Biff in a tackle
