Not a rant but i suppose these two will be around for a few more seasons yet?
i just thought with sky having a revamp Keys and Grey parting company for something they have said more than something they have done and the rumour mill saying it could be Redknapp and neville to take over on the football side of things,well is it about time that sky brought in fresh ideas on the rugby side of things??

Barrie and Terry will surley be involved along with say Brian Carney or Scully or if you want someone fresh out of the game who better than Kiearon Cunningham to talk about fitness levels injury recovery time match facts that sort of thing?your thoughts please.

It would improve things if Eddie did either the presenters job,or the commentary,but not both.Alternatively,I would prefer it if they used different commentators for the friday and saturday matches.

i think stevo should take a backseat now...rugby has changed over the years and he is from the old era. We need a fresh take on the game.

KC is at saints isn't he? may be a conflict of interests there

Everytime I have heard Bill Arthur commentating, it's been a breath of fresh air. Very articulate, straight to the point, doesn't focus on the negatives all the time like E&S do. Plus he links up well with Phil Clarke, who despite being annoying at times, revels in the colour commentating position, rather than chirping in now and again whilst E&S have to draw breath.

i completely agreed up until phil clarke was mentioned!

I can't see Neville getting the gig. He's not articulate enough.

Nor is KC.

Plus he looks the Unhappiest man on the planet!

Thought this was about them giving Angela Powers abuse and Sky had sacked them. Oh well, fingers crossed.

did someone say Cunningham?

"so Keiron what did you make of the first half"

"FIRE HOT"

Personally i would like to see Brian Carney as the major force behind Sky`s production of SL, he brings a lot of articulate knowledge to the show and he gives you a modern, upto date feel with his style of presenting.

I like both Terry O`Connor and Barry Mac so maybe you could have one of those as his co presenter, thats a good mix between the backs and forwards in the studio. I think its time for a new commentator as Eddie comes across as very dated and too politically correct, similar to Andy Gray where he`s probably hung around for too long and has gone well past his sell by date.

Maybe Jon Champion, Dave Woods would be a step up from Eddie Hemmings.

Clare Balding should be the presenter,with a commentry of Carney and Arthurs.Terry and Barrie to carry on doing the Championship.

agree with a lot of that.

We need an Ian holloway character in Rugby League. Though

Not getting into an arguement for the sake of it JD...but

Balding. I like. She actually does seem interested in our sport....a damn site more than Lynam and Ryder, who looked like they'd rather be caught in a compromising position, in a place where they shouldn't be.

Even with the Wire connection, I'm not keen on Carney. I think he takes himself far too seriously

Arthur. Not too bad

Terry and Baz, all right, but it the eyes of the public at large, they portray themselves as a couple of thick northerners (which they're not). We should be aiming to get away from this stereotype

but your last comment, we need another Holloway type.....NO. He's a c0ck of the first order. Besides, we've allready got one. He's called Garry Schofield, and he's a bigger berk than Holloway, and nobody wants him, bar his crap paper column.

Despite their many faults, Eddie & Stevo aren't that bad. They've moved the game away from the Northern stereotype (some of the sketches on Boots'n'all they did in the mid 90's, made Eddie Waring seem like Jeremy Paxman). It's not particularly broken at the mo'. Dont fix it.

Ian Holloway ain't that bad. He's harmless and i love his outlook and his insight. But, i agree. He might cheapen the sport. Gary Schofield is a loud mouth, far from harmless.

What we can 't argue with is we need someone who knows the sport.

I love Claire. She seems so eager to know about the sport and she has even spoken out to the Kick and clap crowd about the virtues of the beautiful game (shame, she might as well talk to her feet.)

I like the tweedle dee and tweedle dum seperatly. Together they are cringeworthy. But the touchline comments at GF was just enough for me.

Carney know his stuff and we need that. Maybe we could get a Lee Briers or Kevin Sinfield in the next few seasons. They put themselves across well on Superman

Sky should do a fanzone,like they did with the football.

Oh No. Fanzone for football is cringeworthy enough.

Can you imagine the field-day everyone outside our sport would have, seeing a Halifax fan, straight off the Yorkshire moors, coming up against a web footed St Helens fan from Burtonwood (apologies for any offence) on fazone. Not worth thinking about. On second thoughts, it will be like Nick Ross on Crimewatch......"don't have nightmares, do sleep well".

I would be happy to hear Dale Winton on the mic, if it meant Phil Clarke got binned off.
