| They should be banned from using the term 'world class'. They bring it out during the WCC every year, then persist with using it every time an English player that's been in decent form. Briscoe last year was 'world class' and Ryan Hall is now world class. I can't wait for the next international tournament, just so I can be told by the blokes at Sky that our players are world class. I'm sure they get it from the football pundits, as they often use the term, particularly big premier league games and champions league games.

| I think he's pretty spot on to be honest and my interpretation is that he is saying positive things about the game but that it's let down by the presentation .
The whole presentation of the game on Sky reinforces the Northern stereotype - even to the opening credit sequence with the robots running into each other and the pre-season adverts about Super League making you tough - all reinforce the 13 blokes running into each other. Compare with the promos for Sky F1, which are brilliant. (Motor racing is my favourite sport so they may be singing to the choir with me).
Stevo when he's allowed to is actually a good reader of the game. Phil Clarke is terrible and adds nothing, ditto McRae.
It shows how far Sky's coverage has fallen when I would say the BBC's coverage is now better - it treats the audience as intelligent adults and has a great team on it - Claire Balding's enthusiasm with Nobby and Jiffy providing good analysis. Dave Woods is a great commentator particularly with John Kear alongside.
I wouldn't get rid of Eddie and Stevo but it's probably time Eddie was just the presenter and Stevo being allowed to do some analysis.
The truth probably is that rugby league on Sky probably has a relatively small production budget. For example on the RU coverage Jon Wells' equivalent analyst piece is done from a VT truck rather than freezing his off on the pitch - he's probably shouting to try and keep himself warm!
Which other sport on Sky has the main presenter doubling up as the commentator?
