| Quote ="Dunbar"I would suspect that the management at SKY would prefer their pundits to write interesting and thought provoking articles to be honest
Whether you agree or disagree with what he said (or believe that he should have been fired for saying it), the reason SKY have these articles on the site is to create comment and generate activity – I would guess it did both of those
As for whether he should have sacked due to the content, I would be surprised if the management team at SKY even noticed it let alone felt it was a disciplinary issue'"
What Clarke said lacked class. It was crass and insensitive and the only thought it provoked was 'what a kn0b' and its knee-jerk idiocy was only matched by a noisy minority of Wigan fans who embarrassed their club.
There is a vast difference between thought provoking and controversial, and just offensive. There was nothing in what Clarke said bar offence. No further debate to be had. It didnt highlight anything or help the game move forward. It was just a mean spirited and offensive rant.

I prefer "they've got to utilisise the dummy runner," usually said straight after a move involving three or four dummy runners has been used.

I'm not arguing with you
As I have stated 4 or 5 posts below the one you have quoted "I’m not defending Clarke’s comments, I thought they were immature at best and vindictive at worst"

Omg, I find this so annoying! If teams tried this as much as Stevo suggested, it definitely would not be something different >.<

I know that people like Stevo and consider him a character but I would prefer the commentary team to be informative rather than just funny! (plus, I'm sure that Wells' tactical insight will be a little more than "a little chip over the top" - if I hear that phrase one more time from Stevo, I'll throw my beer through the TV)'"
Noooooooooo
43 minutes and 27 seconds into Leeds Saints... Stevo says "a little chip over the top"
Still, at least I can buy a nice new flat screen tv tomorrow

It annoys me more when he calls for a one pointer, after about 60 minutes.

I reckon he has a bet on the first 1 pointer being scored between the 60th and 65th minute of every game

| Offiah is Off-ul! I can't watch that slot because it's just too irritating, and I'm an RL fan! So I'm guessing neutrals won't enjoy it either!
Jon Wells comes across well (and has a great surname made for the spotlight!).
I like Barry and Terry, just not together.
Time for Eddie and Stevo to move on. Dave Woods should be brought in to replace Eddie.

I can't believe you have suggested that. I find myself unenthusiastic about watching Challenge Cup games because I know Woods will be calling them. Eddie is 100x the caller that Woods will ever be. I can't listen to Woods speak for more than 2 or 3 minutes without wanting to punch him in the face.
Barrie and Terry are not eloquent and should not be on Super League matches. They suit Championship matches perfectly and that should be their role.

| Sky should get in some big ex pro's in the match day studio for the big games. Why not get someone like jason robinson in the studio one week?
Also it has been said before but we need some southern accents on Sky's Rugby League coverage. Needs some balance as it is all nothern.

Why does not being eloquent mean that they suit Championship matches?

John Wells I like.......he is intelligent, knowledgeable and doesn't drool like the other do when SamTomkins manages to tie his laces

I agree, John Wells has been a great addition to sky sports

Because the poster has such disdain for The Championship perhaps?

| First things first, what did Phil Clarke say in this article? Link?
Secondly... I think Jon Wells has been brilliant in the games he's done so far, better than Barrie and Terry (they should be kept away from Championship matches too).
Stevo is just awful.
