i believe saint eddie and stevo are to stand down...this must rank as the end of the beatles or even one direction booting out one of its members...if it is true could they please take cummings and that clown phil clarke with them...and more to the point who would take over from these 2..thats if its true

If true it's a great opportunity to restructure the whole commentary set up..And please get rid of this ludicrous situation of an ex ref sat there explaining everything the on field ref is doing.. Let's talk about the bloody product !!

I bet Brian Carney will take the lead presenter role.

The commentary team needs character, Cummins is a dull, uninteresting man. Just doesn't do anything for the product. Pack him up with the other two.

Andrew Voss would be my first choice, but can't see it.

No Not Cummins Please.

I like Stevo, I wouldn't miss Sam loving Eddie.

I think Wells needs more of a role, sounds professional. I'd go for Studd, Barrie, Wells in the Commentary box and Carney and Phil Clarke in studio.

Too many of them, by far

Sometimes it 7 of them covering one match......overkill

I like the perspective that Cummins brings.
Keep him not bothered either way about Ediie & Stevo.

As long as there's someone intelligent there to balance out the "rules" with some TACTICS and we'll be on to a winner.

I think Barrie Mac is very good; Terry O, not so much.

I hope it isn't true. While you lot tend to get wound up over what they say I just find it funny. Stevo's ignorance and buzz words he uses every single game bring a good laugh and Eddie's moronic statements and blatant bias make it all the more enjoyable when it goes sour.

I don't get the hatred for them
They both champion our game to the skies, and will have both forgotten more in 10 minutes, than most on here will forget in a lifetime.
They both broadcast/commentate (most of the time) with smiles on their faces. Compare that with some of the androids they have commentating on other sports (Match Of The Day in particular).

Yes, they irritate me
Eddie constantly calling Hull "the black and whites", yet he never calls Hudds "the claret and golds" or Leeds "the blue and ambers"
Stevo always saying "did he ever" "for mine" "terra ferma" "stanza"
Barrie with that b0ll0cks "staying on the island"
O'Connor for just being a poor man's Barrie
Carney for taking himself FAR too seriously
Clarkey for just being that irritating uncle at a family party, but your just too polite to say "#### off nxbend, and mither someone else"
Bill Arthur and Wells for being more boring than a wet Tuesday in Barrow.

Long may they reign.....just not so many of them, per broadcast

For me Eddie can stay, yes for,me he does champion our game but come on Stevo has been past his best for a good few years now.
Like any sport it moves on, the game Stevo played and let's give credit where it's due he was a top player was completely different to today's game. He is far too old fashioned and I feel is holding our game back, he has not re devolved his commentary style and should have gone years ago.

Vossy and Noble for me

Stevo is past his sell by, he's now trawling up his comments from way back, they called it thugby, Les Boyd hit with a twelve month ban, hit them in the pocket, come on give us something interesting less of the inane ramblings, I don't know about staying on the island has anyone found the lost and found for lost hips.

Jon Champion.

Whatever they may or may not know. ...or if they champion our sport or not....no one should have to listen to biased commentary when a team is playing saints or Wigan. ..

they are far too unprofessional to still be doing their job...

I can listen to gary neville and Jamie Carragher be unbiased on a Liverpool v United game why can't these two idiots. ...

Need to get rid of Barry and terry. From listening to the Salford Leigh game ben Arthur sure as hell as changed his game. Maybe coincidence? Maybe they should look towards the Paul brothers they are good speakers

Ray French and Jonathan Davies

His name is Bill Arthur, however it was Rod Studd commentating.

I like having a ref on the commentary - brings some rationale to the decisions. Cummings knows all of the rules - unlike the majority of the others.
Wells is excellent - I really love the analysis spotting things that we typically don't - often from a couple of plays back. I really rate him.
Carney is good and a more natural / confident presenter.

Phil Clarke irritates me with some banal observations, particularly stats related

I thought Terry O did well on the Leigh / Salford match and I think he adds something.
Barry Mac is less used and I've no strong view

That leaves Eddie and Stevo. The face of RL to many.

Knowledgable but sometimes plain wrong.
Eddie has some mileage left and he is a good presenter on the whole.
Stevo is a bit past his sell-buy date I'm afraid and doesn't add the technical insight that I think is needed for a back up man, given that Eddie is someone who loves the game but hasn't played at a top level. Jon Wells could do that job, or Brian Carney.

Brian Carney and Barrie Mac did a good job on Leigh v Salford.

Cummins may well be clued up as an ex ref but he is monotone and sounds miserable. He needs to come across happy and share in a joke.

Theres nothing wrong with Phil Clarke, he is a master among men

bator

added for accuracy

Dave Woods should get the gig

Barrie Mac is sure to get one position which Stevo would normally do.
Probably Bill Arthur for Eddie but if Dave Woods could be poached from the BBC he would be an ideal replacement.

I think Dave Woods and Barrie Mac would work very well.
