| Quote ="eddiewaringsflatcap"The whole SKY package is abysmal. The presentation cries out marginal sport trying to create fake or WWE style hyperbole that looks and sounds so small time. Its like SKY want to prsent rugby league in the same light as British Ice hockey, speedway and netball.
The try music is an embarrassment- what self respecting sport would feel the need for such a nonsense? Notwithstanding the ridiculousness of it all, its about three decades old and belongs in an era of Joe Bloggs Jeans and glowsticks. Garbage.
The commentary team are a nightmare - failed football commentator Hemmings holding court like a pompous monarch who seems to think he is the arbiter of whats good for the sport. His snide criticsims of the challenge cup are a disgrace.
Resident daft lads O Connor and McDermott offer little but talk over the game and appear to be the producers attempt at chuckle brothers style humour.
Angela Powers and Bill wouldnt get a job in any other sport on SKY. A grade C GCSE media studies student could do better.
Phil Clarke likes to find new and arcane ways to sound the fool than the (pseudo) intellectual he is so depserate to be. Chris Eubank and Phil would be a lovely meeting of minds. The sad thing is when Clarke first got a gig with Sky he was a reasonable pundit.
Oh and finally can someone please tell mouth full of wasps Wells that there is a a T in Catalans.'"
I absolutely hate Jon’s “Ca’alans” BS!
And Phil tonight, what was he going on about with some van Gerwin fella from Darts and comparing him to James Roby:
“You’ll see van Gerwin on Sky sometimes throw about 180 darts a night, which is about the same amount of passes James Roby makes in a game and they are almost all as accurate at van Gerwin’s darts”
Sling yer hook Phil you weapon!

| I reckon whoever penned the line "yeah, but this goes up to eleven" had been listening to some of Seta's expert analysis.

| Please can Sky programme the coloured buttons on the remote control so that selected commentators/summarisers can be muted during rugby league coverage? A "press the red button to mute O'Connor" option would be a godsend.

| Dave Woods is doing the game a great dis-service, he's absolute garbage. Cannonball tackle and he says I've seen worse as if to say it wasn't all that bad, says it would be worse if he'd done it from the other side, no it wouldn't you retard, thankfully Kear puts him right! Woods is not just lazy in his commentary he's still utterly clueless.

| Grief!
Watching SL:The Golden Point for the first time.
Awful, just awful. Barry and Terry cannot string a coherent sentence together.
Terry starts four sentences at once and doesn't even answer the questions!

| That's FIVE different voices wittering on before the match is 3 minutes old. Now here comes Cummings as well.
Q
Hemmings well past his sell by date. Sky need a complete clear out.

Clarke then comes out with the I fear Wakefield will fade here bs, he's a joke, the Davis non try was clear as day in touch from the side on then he starts creaming himself saying "it's a try", was it meant to be a parody of dear old Edward Waring, if so it does not become you Philip!

| O'Connor has the phrases "that man," and "all of a sudden" on constant loop; it drives me round the feckin' twist.

| They could just create a soundboard of the common phrases from each of the commentators and then they just need to employ one person to press the buttons (or even a chimp pressing them randomly)

| Quote ="JEAN CAPDOUZE"Yesterday, during the Catalans-Widnes match on Sky, we heard Anthony Rea (aka "Tony Ray"icon_wink.gif as sole commentator along with match caller William Arthur. What a breath of fresh air! Not since the days of Shaun McRae as sole commentator have I enjoyed a Sky commentary so much.
Anthony Rea was outstanding. He was cool, measured and scientific about the game and the players. No Phillip Clarke psychobabble. No Barry McDermott and Terence banalities and cliches. It was all thoughtful and insightful. Rea showed just how important it is to have an intelligent and articulate former coach as the TV analyst of a game.
If Anthony Rea was the sole commentator along with Edward Hemmings, nobody would complain about Hemmings.
Clarke, McDermott and O'Connor are the problem. Rea is the solution.'"
Have to agree with that. Quantity down, quality up; Get Rae in.

| I'm not a huge fan of American football but with the scores of commentators that they employ it does stir up an interest in me and I seem to find myself understanding what they are talking about, even though I don't. I think that the university education that all the players receive now (is it from scholarships?) along with media training it really does help them charm and engage the viewer. In fact, compared to any UK Sky sports commentary they seem to keep on raising the bar.
