Unbearable

"Here's your silver salva"

Grrrrrrr!

Cheque for £250? The tight s

"This is starting to get sloppy" - O'Connor after over a dozen errors and penalties in 30 minutes

Why does Eddie insist on proclaiming that every time a decision goes in a teams favour, said team "won't be arguing with that?!" When, in the history of ever, did a team argue with a referees decision that advantages them?

The combination of stock, recycled phrases, the dullard O'Connor, the pointless Cummins and the general overcrowding of the commentary box makes the whole experience painful and distracting - it's like sitting in a pub next to a table full of smart know-it-alls who won't shut up.

Could do with a Chris Kamara type character to liven things up. "Has he been red carded? I thought they were bringing a sub on, Jeff".

It was refreshing watching the World Club Challenge without the sky commentary.

Was it? Somewhat dull and monotone I thought. But everything Aussie when it comes to RL is the best.

Significantly better than the commentary Eddie Hemmings, Terry O’Connor and Phil Clarke provide.

At least they actually commentate on the game as a commentator should do. Eddie and his crew seem to spend 90% of their time talking about anything but the game in front of them.

Haven't watched it yet though I have to say this news comes as little surprise.

Does anyone actually like the Sky commentary? Usually you’d get a few people saying it’s alright and they don’t mind it but it seems 100% of viewers detest it (fwiw I agree).

Stevo at least used to be a love hate marmite character.
Barrie McDermott offers something a little bit similar, Brian Carney at least has some knowledge of what’s going on. I like Jon Wells but he only seems to do analysis rather than commentary.

Aaaargh!! O'Connor is talking far too much tonight!

Has the bloke been drinking? He's never shut up. What's the boss of Sky Sports called? Barney Francis? Doesn't he realise that Sky, having paid millions for the rights to broadcast Rugby League are then employing this uneducated bloke O'Connor who causes committed RL fans to switch off, never mind the wider Middle England potential audience. Incompetence all round.

The former head of referees is the only person who thinks Philbin and Cahill have banged heads when he clearly went into his shoulder, what is the pillock there for ?

I think it's time for Hemmings to hang up his Mike.

He's been doing for over 20yrs he's now making daft mistakes with players, clubs etc

The others I can tolerate because they only do short pieces.

FFS Eddie trying to turn the accident between Houston and the ref into something.

Cummings too. He really hasn't a clue.

He even said that Bentham had "cracked his head on the ground" FFS!
Analyse AFTER the game or at half time not spend two minutes chatting inane b ollocks whilst the game is going on.grrrr

"We'll have to get off air as soon as the match is finished tonight"

*looks at whats on next*

WWE from 1986

Skysports - Your home of Super League

Agreed the programme was off air before the players had left the pitch. maybe even Sky can't stand listening to the cast.

unbelievable! No pre or post match anaylsis...literally just the match...so they can show re-runs of american wrestling and sky sports news. We are treated like total shi!t£.

Absolute drivel from start to finish tonight

Typical of this board.

Sky bring you even more live RL games over this weekend, but theres complaints that they didn't give enough time to pundits which you moan about anyway.
