Quote ="Wellsy13"Wells is fantastic as a match analyser. Carney is a great anchor.
Eddie is past it as lead commentator. The less said about Stevo the better. He expired a decade ago as colour commentator.
Some will disagree, but I actually like Rod Studd as a lead commentator. He speaks clearly, can keep up with the plays, is passionate and can pull off an amusing quip at times (unlike Eddie, whose sense of humour was dated even in the 80s).
Phil Clarke is unnecessary. He introduces ridiculous and irrelevant statistics in an attempt to justify his position. Jon Wells would do this better IMO and be able to actually make it relevant with links to his own analysis.
Cummings is also unnecessary. He's only there because Eddie and Stevo don't know the rules, and if you just listen to the VR during replays we wouldn't need a former ref on the team.
Barry and Terry I'm undecided. They don't irritate me as much as other people on here it seems. They're both far better than Stevo, but that's hardly the benchmark of success!
Bill Arthur is a bit bland for me. He's OK, but dull. Good enough for touchline analysis.
I'd get rid of Eddie, Stevo, Clarke and Cummings for sure.'"
Studd won't be 100% committed to the RL coverage though as he does darts, and when the dart and RL clash, he always seems to be with the PDC doing Sky commentary on whatever tournament they are running.
