Still does better than Ray French then

A bit unfair that. Ray knows the name of every former club that every player formerly played at in his former career.

I think Eddie & Stevo are fantastic. They get excited about the game, i would rather have that than a commentator who doesn't change the tone of his voice. They can't be doing that bad of a job if RL is getting record television audiences. They have their faults, but please find me a commentary team that doesn't.



The Cricket commnetators (apart from David Lloyd & Ian Botham) send me to sleep. Rugby union all Stuart Barnes does is moan moan moan (he makes Jonathon Davies look like an optimist) and we all know what happened with the football.

Well I'm just about to take up a Premier Sports subscription now that Sky has abandoned the Championship, so I'll get to see how good their commentators are....



In my opinion, the current Sky commentating team has run its course, and they need some new faces/voices to freshen it up. What's missing for me is any real opinion on team tactics. RL is a game that doesn't need a lot of description (on the TV, radio is very different), and the key for me is how the pundits assess what's going on in the game (why certain replacements may have been made, for instance).

If you think Stevo is a charicature, get ready for Ray 'Rabbits' Warren...

I can always turn the sound off....

You may have to - some weeks he seems to be on one and is argumentative to the point of being unbearable; I get the feeling that he and his fellow commentators believe it to be amusing, but it rarely is.



The Aussie commentary also tends to be hyper-critical of the officals - much more so than Eddie & Stevo - which can also be a bit wearing.

Stevo is driving me fooking mad tonight. He must have said "he's a talent" about nearly every player on the pitch.

the worship of Leon Pryce was beyond belief, I could understand hyping up his return to Saints before the match, but there were loads of better players than him on the pitch last night, every slight touch he made was deemed to be "a wow of a pass" by Stevo.

I was listening to the game on radio during last night's game, so I filtered most of the commentary out. Thankfully.

Agree. People call for Bill Arthur, yet he has the personality of a goldfish.

Eddie proves value for money. Just now in the Wakefield v Bradford match.



"Platt was perhaps a little high on Cockayne then". Superb stuff.
