Quote ="DGM"As far as his Sky commentary goes, good riddance.
A quality player in his day, and done great things for RL away from his commentating, I wish him well.
Unfortunately it's been to the detriment of the image of the sport having him as the 'face' of RL for the past 26 years. No insight, no real knowledge of the modern game or the rules, his awful catchphrases, his ramblings. It makes the sport look dumb, northern, old-fashioned etc.
Basically, the coverage of RL for 26 years has been dominated by the equivalent of a loud mouthed fan talking garbage down the pub. No other sport feels it needs to inject a 'character' into the mix, they respect their viewer and put knowledgeable professionals in there to enhance their experience.
I'm looking forward to watching Sky with the volume on. Roll on 2017.'"
It's this type of attitude from it's so called fans that's held RL back not Stevo, see other post regarding Eddie warring etr.
And you say no over sport would do this, really, most other sports would kill to have a stevo of their own
