As I said - Tanya Arnold or Clare Balding would both offer significantly more than Eddie; John Kear or Brian Noble would be able Stevo replacements or, if you wanted a total change, Brian Carney.
To the poster who said that Stevo had a new 5 year deal - are you sure about that?!

| Wells & Carney are brilliant additions to the team, Clarke is alright, but i detest his bias commentary whenever Wigan play. Eddie & Stevo for me are outdated and whilst nice fella's really hold back the production.
Eddie would be relatively easy to replace, because you don't necessarily need someone with a rugby background to host and direct the flow of conversation. Someone can quite easily grow into that position and knowledge can be acquired with time.
Stevo, troubling as it may sound, might be harder to replace!!!

| Clare Balding for me is superb her enthusiasum and the way she puts that across is infectious and linked with Robbie Paul or John Kear would be very good.

I don't like Robbie HP; he does his best but much like Stevo, often ends up talking nonsense - some people just aren't mentally agile enough to make off the cuff comments in front of a camera and they end up in a conversational cul-de-sac. Nobby does ok, as does Mr Kear, but I reckon Brian Carney would be a great replacement - he's relatively young, has recent playing experience, is articulate, quite witty and doesn't have either a thick northern accent or a head like a ten bob cauli.
Sorted!

| Detest clarke, eddie and the bald one. Bill Arthur, Angela Powers with Terry O'Connor and Barry McDermott would be good.

| Stevo told me himself he is basically scripted, and has been for the last few years - I like Clarke but he seems to be taking his whole scientific approach to analysis too far, Hemmings I can take or leave but find Wells & Cullen informative and Carney & Baz entertaining and Tez just there for the ride.

Agree!
Bill looked awkward and stuttery on SL: Fulltime Sunday night.
We have Sky's second most watched competition after the Premier League but none of the post or pre-match production values!
The presenters of football be it PL, Champ etc are clean, fresh, unbiased and rotatable. The studio and touch screen technologies they utilise at the mo are edgy and up to date!
We, unfortunately, have two ageing dinosaurs as the face of RL coverage on Sky Sports together with a massively biased Wiganer who has become too advanced for his own good!
Ex-players is the key, Baz & Tez come across well for me, and not once do you see an ounce of bias from Barry on Leeds even though he's effectively on the coaching staff!
Jon Wells is ok but always seems rushed and Brian Carney is cringeworthy!
Id love to see RL presented by teams similar to PL matches, Ok, I know were knowhere near as big, but a team change is long overdue IMO.
Also, after watching Leeds at theadingley on Fri, with the match shown permanently on screen, and the SL: Fulltime programme quality of match coverage, I think there is definately a call for Vid Refs at every game in SL now!

Ive heard he's after Prof Brian Cox's job, he's come up with this theory about how stars now, more than any other period in history are brighter, faster and fitter than any other star from the 70's, 80's and 90's!

In which case, he's not very good at reading a script either.

| I agree totally with Bren..Eddie/Stevo should have been shown the door years ago & their continued presence is actually turning people away.
What I really can't stand is their stupid arguments, the incessant petulant attempts at one upmanship, the "I will have the last word" innanity.
Eddie is biased towards certain teams & Stevo frankly hasn't got a clue. It's so unprofessional.
I would replace them with women like Tanya Arnold or Clare Balding who are presentable, articulate & do their research & are there to talk about the sport & not themselves. Gabby Roslin & Kirsty Gallagher would be a fair alternative too.
I'd keep Carney & Barrie Mac as at least they aren't afflicted with Cyclops Syndrome & are generally fair to whoever is playing.

Steve-o and Eddie the Eagle, I'm sure they have much more in depth knowledge about the game than the present clowns.
