I don't know why anyone would ever want to see a 'fan' broadcasting or hear what an RL 'fan' has to say, they are almost exclusively morons who know literally nothing about the game.'"
Don't think I've ever read such an ignorant and idiotic post in my life on here. What a load of absolute b*llocks.

Normally, I would be. But not on this occasion. It was toe-curlingly bad.

| The only thing I'd REALLY like to see is a good intro to the programme with some music that isn't Frankie Goes to Hollywood. I always preferred the Irn Bru ads preceding the games to the actual Sky intro.
Oh, and for them to lose that tacky mechanical things CGI'd to the back of the stand - wtf is that? It looks like something you'd have seen on 'Super Sunday' soccer coverage circa 1996

| Quote ="SBR"It's the ref's job to ensure that the game is played within the laws. If they can do that pro-actively by stopping players committing offences instead of having to stop the game to penalise them then that's all the better. The best refs do exactly that and the ref's mic allows you to hear them doing it.'"
This is one of the facets of the game that worries me most in the recent era (along with my own team's continued absence from SL ). The 'pro-active' input of referees is at best annoying and embarrassing to hear on TV, and at worst open to bias from referees 'coaching' one side more than another.
The players should NOT be coached by a referee under any circumstances, and the sooner the refereeing world realises that, the better. Refs should penalise until an infringement stops taking place, not try and coach players from either side to stop it. That's the team manager's job, and is one of the many aspects of the game which makes good teams better than worse ones - discipline.
As it happens, i know of at least one former top flight referee who is no longer reffing because of exactly this - he didnt agree, like me, with the referee's controller asking them to be more 'pro-active'.

Wouldnt it be nice to get rid off them, its always going to be that little bit harder to attract new fans to the sport when we have the worst commentaters in any sport in the country.

| Quote ="crucrucrusaders"I disagree with the all or nothing comment.
I think the most interesting bits of the video ref are the bits where they speak to players when the play has stopped.
"Mooove" and "Held" have no value whatsoever and surely they have some YTS lad tucked away somewhere that could turn the volume of the ref mic up when the play stops and he is due to talk to a player or when he goes to the video ref and off when the game is going on.'"
Aye, it made laugh when Radders told the ref that Lauaki couldn't speak English so the ref carried on speaking to Radders because he didn't think Hame couldn't understand him.

| I like the title music. Far better than what proceeded it 2005, 2006 ish. The best titles were the first Super League ones in 96, 97, 98. Oh and once again I think they should bring back the crossword!
And also get rid of that goal kick view rubbish. We don't need our intelligence insulted with a graphic that tells you a kick from the touchline is a difficult angle! I didn't think they could get worse than "try trak" but the managed it!

But he would avoid the wrecking ball 35% of the time, while for a further 40% he would continue mumbling about Wigan not being out of it despite him being unconscious, unless he was hit after the 70th minute, when the percentage would rise to 45%.

I guess so then!
What do you think to the opening titles for Boots n All? They also irritate me... In fact, all graphics and soundtrack stink of the eighties / early nineties and are in need of an update imo.

| I would like the RL club coverage to be promoted and covered with at least the same effort as RU club coverage.
Despite more than respectable viewing figures we are still treated like a third tier sport on Sky.
Prime example are the new adverts on sky with the commentary teams doing some thing different. Golf, RU, Cricket and Football got one why not RL.
Personally I like Eddie and Stevo. Carney and barry mac have potential but the others especially phil clarke are replaceable. Rea is a big miss.
Watching the darts on sky and bbc has made me realise we do ok in this area.

I don't mind them.
Someone else mentioned pre match build up, im not too fussed tbh I'd much rather have some in depth analysis though, im sick of being spoon fed the bleeding obvious
Terry and Barrys goal line thing has to go, they're too stupid for it their other roles are okay though

YES!!
It bugged the hell out of me during the Four-Nations when before the ball had even reached the posts from a conversion, the camera swung to a crouching Barrie/Terry beside the posts.

Absolutely agree with that. It's probably the most pointless thing I've ever seen during live sport on tv. The phoney '3-tier super stadium' in the picture makes me chuckle at the irony though.

| Anyone who would replace Stevo with Barry and terry need their heads examining.
Why replace one thicko with another.
I wouldn't mind someone who could analyse a game intellectually, Stevo's a comedian, Barry and Terry are just a bit, well, stupid
