Same team commentating untill Davies gets to grips with the game so that he can commentate alongside Clarke, Arthur and Carney. Sorry but Barry and Terry would have to go.
You heard it here first.'"
Not a bad shout. Other than that I would look into some of the commentators for local rugby league coverage across the country. There must be some who could transfer their knowledge and presenting style to television (lets face it, our current crop are cringe-worthy anyway). The added bonus of bringing in a radio presenter as well is they are used to giving commentary and analysis for fans who can't physically see the game which is a much harder feat IMO which should make them less gaffe prone then Eddie Hemmings and his constant bouts of forgetfulness when it comes to players names.
