Put the Letter "D" in front of every word and that's Tez


day don't doo do day do laaaaa................... scouse accent..

O'Connor is painful, he doesn't understand that the reason Leigh were 'exciting' in the Championship is because they were a full-time team running through part-time defences.

If you read this Neville, can you look into Sky's position on the ethics of Phil Clarke being allowed to give ridiculous praise and promotion to players who just happen to be contracted clients of his/his brother's company. Raving about Hampshire tonight with comparisons to the great Matty Smith, who both happen to be clients of a certain brother.

I only watched part of the game last evening, but did any of the commentators happen to ask Clarke.... Hey Phil, why isn't Solomona playing for Cas tonight...

Get rid of hemmings, Macdermot and O Conner and get Woods in from the BBC
Job done

Better still, his mouth blocked.

I'm sure O'Connor is a good guy but he's a bloody awful commentator and it's not just his way of speaking, he offers nothing insightful at all.

McDermott is just about passable but still isnt great.

If Phil Clarke can be calmed down a bit I don't mind him (Though I agree on the issue with him and Solomona, IIRC it's not the first time there's been an issue with Clarke and a potential conflict of interest. I'm sure it was spotted by some on here a few years ago that Clarke was excessively praising players who just happened to have his brother as agent.)

Carney and Wells are great and somewhat rescue what would otherwise be a pretty terrible broadcast.

Eddie I quite like but restrict him to just main commentator, nothing else at all, and no opinions please Eddie, just commentate.

I can't quite believe we've STILL got Stuart Cummings there. It's embarrassing and unnecessary. Not to mention the fact he's occasionally wrong in his bizzarely desperate attempts to defend the officials and backup any decision they make. Get rid. Now.

If additional people are needed then I'd maybe be looking to someone like Luke Robinson or if Jon Wilkin is available I'd put him on. He's usually very good on the BBC. Though I don't see why they can't manage with Eddie, Clarke, Carney & Wells.

Agree with all that HIM, I had the misfortune to listen to the first 30odd minutes of the Wales/England game, Eddie Butler can only state the players name and throw in the occasional 'out to' xxx, it's almost the same with John Motson, he can't commentate to save his life, no description of live action but describes it upon replay.
Jiffy is increasingly losing the plot, he started to say something three times and then just stopped without actually making any point, basically inane babble that made no sense.
The only one of the three involved in the live match commentary that says anything worth listening to was Brian Moore though doesn't get much time on the mic these days.

Would just like to hear someone just commentate properly, Eddie used to be able to do this quite well BITD, now not so.
Cummins is an embaressment all round, IF you must discuss the finer points of decisions, during live play is not the time to do so.
Much prefer to listen to local commentary over the top.

Agree with all that. Moore is easily the best RU commentator, understands the game and explains it well. Clive Tyldesley used to do league commentary back in the day, didn't he? I'd like to see him get a go. He couldn't be worse than Jiffy, Eddie, etc etc.

Have no commentators, and just have the sound of the crowd.

We're Leeds Rhiii-nnnoos, we're Leeds Rhhiinnooss
Go down well, that will

Didn't he say at one point something along the lines of "he has the pace to be one of the best players in the game?" Even to my unprofessional ears, it was a bit of a stretch...

Get Clare Balding in. He would be grest

I like the 80's rock music & electric guitar solo's they play though, they're great.

Oh, and those robots.

Moore is a ridiculous suggestion. If we can't find another ex-player across the whole of rugby league before we go to him then we are done for. He's just a better educated Stevo without the knowledge of the game.

I don't mind McDermott, I don't like Tez.
Carney is the future face of Rugby League on Sky.
Clarke is good but needs to just go back to being a knowledgeable guy who talks in the studio.

I think it would be great fun if we could get [iBrian Blessed[/i as the lead commentator !

[size=200I'll get my headphones ready!!!!!!!!![/size

Which is exactly what I do whenever the hubby is commentating on a Sky game!

Oh I hope so

I often commentate on a sky game. Its usually something along the lines of "Shut the up you thick s!!"

Brian Moore? Really? I find on the whole just to be really negative, he's sounds to be constantly moaning when I watch the 6 nations. No thanks

Agreed.
Also, we should be wanting either a RL person or a pro commentator and Moore fails on both counts.
It's bad enough that the head of the RFL is now wearing Union clobber, without inviting in the enemy.

Take off your flat cap and put down your whippet for a moment. Also remove that chip from your shoulder. Why is rugby union the enemy?

Seriously? Crabtree is one of the most articulate ex players on TV and Peacock isn't bad at all.

Agree. Both come across really well, especially Crabtree
