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.

Literally any generic commentator or summarizer from Sky Sports News would be better than Dave Woods. 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.

Barrie & Terry should be nowhere near a tv studio

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

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

good question.

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.

I like Barry Mac and Terry. They add something a bit different to sky rather than just the usual idiots. Jon Wells has been excellent this year.

Perhaps someone who is instantly recognisable in Rugby League like Paul Sculthorpe could take over from Offiah on SPN. Not sure he would be quite right for a main presentor/pundit spot for Super League but I am confident he would do a good job and isn't a clown like Offiah.

I like the idea of using players who have recently retired or left the game to freshen it all up and bring the sky presentation up to date and give a more professional analysis.

Your probably right with that

Yep, I absolutely despise the Championships and your club in particular.

The reason Big Barrie in particular is better suited to Championship RL is because he doesn't talk bull , and there's a lot less of that at Championship games

But unless you come from Leeds or somewhere else along the M62 you can't understand a word he says.

He's from Lancashire , not Yorkshire , and of course he is easy to understand a ' meat pie ' is a TRY , and a ' sausage roll ' is a GOAL , he even does cockney ryming slang for the three Quins fans

Yorkshire/Lancashire, all sounds the same to me I'm sorry to say.

Quins haven't got 3 fans so now I know you are lying.


Well they might be able to find 3 fans if Gutterfax came back from New Zealand.

Not surprising Barry

How dare you compare the motherland of Yorkshire to that of Lancashire!!

all the same to us mate....

Jesus.

I'm a northerner according to that.

Wheres my whippet gone?

Being originally from Nottingham I always considered myself as a plastic Brummie. However with a wife from Yorkshire (spews in mouth) and kids born in Nottingham and Warrington, that make my entire Clan nailed-on Northern.
