Unfortunately I'd dozed off when this incident happened (exciting game) so this may have been mentioned, but hasn't Houston got a bit of history for colliding with referees?

I used to defend Stevo, he made little sense most of the time but was at least always lively and enthusiastic, he brought excitement to matches even when the quality was low. Eddie was also a great caller in his time, which has sadly long passed now.

The current Sky commentary team is the worst I've ever heard for any sport, anywhere, ever. It seems like they've tried to improve the balance of things this week by bringing in Jon Wells, who at least offers some relevant tactical analysis, but it doesn't make much difference because he's drowned out by the inane chuntering of the thick Northern stereotypes Barrie and Terry, plus Cummings who adds nothing and whose presence is a constant distraction from the match. I just about could stomach a team of Eddie, McDermott and Wells for the rest of the season, ideally both Eddie and McDermott would also be replaced. O'Connor and Cummings need to go NOW. It's legitimately becoming unbearable to watch the matches at this point.

Is it just me, but does Eddie really sound like he can't be d this season?

Complaints on a thread called Finally given up with Sky? Fancy that.

The whole production is garbage and half hearted.

To be fair 1986 was a good year for wrestling.

“The” is starting to filter from Eddie to everyone else now. Warrington are not called that anymore according to Sky they are called “The Warrington club”... “The Widnes club”... “The Catalans”... “The Saints”... “The Wigan club”... The whole commentary team were at it last night.

The names of the players will be next; “here’s The Ben Currie, he passes to The Stefan Ratchford, he runs around The Widnes club’s players and scores a The Try!”

I wouldn’t mind but our actual nickname “The Wire” is NEVER used! The only club in SL with a name started with “The...” which is on the club badge and they don’t call is that. But call everything and everyone else “The...”

The only good but of insightful and intelligent talk is with Carney and Wells (sorry, “The Carney” and “The Wells”) and last night we didn’t get even a snippet of either pre or post-game!

The Sky don’t give a about Super League!

I wouldn’t be surprised to see, when this current deal is up, all SL games on Premier Sports and Sky having three NRL games on a weekend with no SL other than All The Tries for 30minutes once a week.

Why was O Connor repeatedly calling the Widnes centre Ninu? It was like a throw back to Robin Williams comedy days of the 80's.

Fixed that for you, Come on, you're being like Chorley John now with your slackness, it's THE Super League

Anybody keeping count of the number of times we get a "where am I and what's my job" from Tez?

Here is a combination that I could accept: Eddie Hemmings, Anthony Rea (aka "Tony Ray"icon_wink.gif, Brian Carney, Jonathan Wells.

Edwin Hemmings, please.

Is it Edwin or Edward?

Edward Ernest Hemmings

Eduardo I think

I watched the Wigan game this morning... goodeness what a contrast in the commentary between that and sky. It was interesting, informative and delivered at a nice pace and volume (not shouted inanity). Please Sky, get some of these guys over for a while to show your budding commentators (if you have any) how it should be done.

Joan here you are why do you always go missing ? your wanted on the Crapalan thread.

Jon Champion did a good job for the BBC, when Ray French was unavailable. Clive Tyldesley knew his stuff for Granada in the late 80's. And Dave Woods, Henderson & Noble did a better job for Premier.

All light years better than this current embarrassing Sky Team.

The most infuriating thing about Henmings is he doesn't seem to acknowledge Rugby League was around before 1996, when he is reeling off stats of teams and players

Don't say we have to have that Rugby Union Red Button thing on the screen all match

Just press "Back Up" and it goes

"These are the games you wanna be involved in"

This one as well O'Connor?

Cheers for that!

All ya see is dat blue line in front a ya

"Still got a couple of tackles in the insurance policy"

Wigan getting d|cked on for the first 20 mins

Phil Clarke - “That’s the sign of a very good team”

I would happily listen to Clarke praising Wigan for 80 minutes if it meant we didn't have to hear Terry O'Connor.
