I'm sure that our game would get a bigger following with a better commentator. We have had Eddie Wareing, Ray French, Steve and lastly and certainly least...Terry O'Connor!
As someone has already posted, he is so monotonous, repetitive and uninformative.
What also grates is his lack of English grammar...he done this, he done that, he went REIGHT through.
I'm waiting for him to say ee, bah, gum!

Had to wait 22 seconds for tonight's first "setasix". Come on Sky. Get rid. We need intelligent, eloquent commentators who can reflect the quality of the players we are watching. Not a thick ex player ramming his kitchen sink view of the world picked up in the last century.

Does O'Connor think he's doing a coaching video for the Under 8s? Phil Gould would pay for himself if Sky paid him 10 times what O'Connor gets as a co commentator.

eddie waring was fine and did a huge amount to put RL on the map in this country, it was the back end of his career due to illness and the BBC not getting shot sooner that it all went wrong.
French was okay in some respects but simply not a commentator.
The only decent TV commentator we've had was Keith Macklin.
Dave Woods is a load of pap too.

I like Dave Woods, miles better than listening to Eddie or Stevo

If you watch the Warrington v Wigan game from Magic this year Eddie spends the first minute speculating about the future of Ben Barba instead of acknowledging that the game he is supposed to be commentating on has kicked off

Can't blame him for drift really if the alternative was watching Warrington or Wigan........................

In fairness anyone could forget to switch on their mike. I'm sure normal service will be resumed this week.

We need the Australian ex-coach and former Sky commentator Anthony Rea (a.k.a. "Tony Ray"icon_wink.gif to take over from Terry ASAP.

2 teams full of players that are 'probably the biggest player on the pitch' this evening

Can somebody please tell this lot to shut Tf up for a bit? Incessant banal wittering. Belt up for god's sake and give us a chance to watch the sod*ng match.

it's his right arm Barrie

They never stop talking, I think it's a rule

Everything about sky's coverage of rugby league is a joke. From having the same corny intro music from the 90s to the childish graphics accompanying it. Garbage commentary. Pundits below average and a studio set that looks fit for Borat.

Bloody hell, never known so many getting wound up about someone yapping on t.v. When you go to a match you don't have commentary, so turn down the sound and watch the game.

Yes you do....they are all around you

The only thing SKY did for the game apart from the cash was to offer the choice ground microphones without the commentary. & for some unexplained reason they binned that after a short spell. Bring it back & I would consider subscribing again.
