Yesterday we had, “he’s outside the 40 so kicks straight down the middle”

Imagine the thought of Eddie commentating on an England vs Australia world cup final with 22 million people watching it...it's so wrong on so many levels but I actually think any rational RL outsider watching it with aussie commentators would warm to it.

Ben Barba scores a good try just now but micky poor defending by Escare and Eddie calls it the try of the season, what a gnob!

Woods still can't even grasp the basics of the sport far too often, it's like listening to a novice to the game, he's simply a load of rubbish and like many others doesn't commentate simply rambles.

Mick Morgan would be an improvement.

As would Mickey Mouse.

I can't stand when the ex players talk in jargon.

Agreed, Dave Woods is an absolutely terrible commentator. The only good British RL caller currently is Rod Studd, who seems to have been booted from Sky's coverage.

Although despite his decline I think Eddie's is made to look much worse than he is by the constant overbearing presence of Barrie, Terry and Stuart Cummings ruining every broadcast that he's on.

Henmings did the Sky Darts in the early years

Not heard that one.

I know he started on radio for football.

Why they continue to have Cummings I have no idea. He offers nothing at all. We really do not need to know his opinion on referee decisions.

Agreed

Rod Studd isn't much better. The guy shouts at anything that moves.

Even he is drowned out by Big Fat Gary Schofield.

Brad Fak.........er......Fash

He sounds very bored tonight, again.

The aussie commentary sometimes isn't that great - danny buderus "there is some physical contact out there"

What i hate about the commentary on sky is the chatting amongst themselves about rubbish and not the present game. Just get on with watching the game and comment on what you see.

I was watching the Wests v Storm game on Saturday morning and the commentator sounded awful. Very monotone.

To answer Eddie's persistent questioning about the rules

Yes but was he commentating on the game though? That would be a step in the right direction.

I don't see why they need to treat us like babies spoon feeding the rules. The vast majority who watch the game know the rules.

I don't see this in other sports.

John Kear also does it a lot on the BBC coverage. Its like they think the game is being watched by newcomers and one has to explain the basics of Rugby League.

I don't know. His tone was making me fall asleep.

I feel like Kear is usually explaining the rules to the rest of the BBC commentary team who seem to know very little about RL.
