"It's the momentum rule"or maybe not,it's the flat pass he harps on about now.Myself the one i find the most irritating is Phil(cherry and white)Clarke.It start's off as Wigan and when they are winning he starts calling them the Cherry and Whites.What great coverage you get on Premier Sports with the Aussie commentators.Our D.O.R. as been on Sky a lot just lately,wonder why Rich Agar was never on.

You could run a sweep on the time he manages to slip Wigan into the conversation.
"They play a similar style to what brings Wigan success."
"The other week in the game against Wigan"
"





"

Sky asked for him to appear on numerous occasions, but he refused, didn't want to do it.

He must be well coined up then,they get very well paid for it.Our new D.O.R. must be stacking it on it's edges,he's never off.

Have to agree the quality of the presentation, refereeing, standard of play and just about everything wiped the floor with SL.

Eddie and Stevo have given good service to the game, but its time to hand over to fresher commentators.

At least Bomber comes across as articulate in his comments.Don`t think Agar`s "Us did us best,but us wasn`t up to it" would make sense to a lot of punters.

Personaly I like Macca and Terry.Although Macca is getting his catch phrases, "He should go to confession over that one."

I quiet enjoy listening to state the obvious stevo and 'ead the ball eddie its sometimes cringeworthy though how biased they can both be

Also...IS IT TIME FOR THE ONE POINTER?.

How about...."the kick found terra firma"

Radio Leeds have some great commentators, who really get excited.

AND they,ve gotta start using the 2nd phase

Stevo has traditionally had the worse reputation of the two for being an idiot but for me the last couple of years Eddie has overtaken him at an alarming rate. So much of what he says is just plain wrong. Clarke comes in for some unfair criticism. He can be irritating but at least he knows what he's on about unlike Hemmings.

Same here - it's not rocket surgery...

Not to mention the painful banter of Eddie calling Stevo old/big/tight/all three on a regular basis.. and yeah I agree Phil Clarke knows what he's saying, it's just a shame about 99% of what he's thinking uses his hefty bias of his beloved Cherry and Whites as a reference point..

"They've started slowly here, Eddie, where teams like Wigan would show a high intensity in this first 15mins."

^^ Possibly his favourite! It does amuse me aswell how Phil uses these big Wigan references, which are then usually followed by either a) an awkward silence or b) a subject change!

As much as I hate to say it I think the fact Eddie and Stevo are still sitting pretty shows how far down the priority list Rugby League is at Sky HQ....
For me the NRL coverage line up of Carney/Wells/McRae was excellent and I buy into all three, insightful and imformative.

According to Dave Parker, Stevo is thinking if retiring in the near future so we could see some change hopefully. Again I know he isn't a very reliable source of info.

Thank God Eddie n Stevo don't commentate on radio, no one would ever know what was going on, they spend more time waffling about anything other than what is happening on the pitch, or " Paddock " as Stevo would say. Oh, and have you noticed he's wearing a silk handkerchief in his jacket breast pocket lately, and he call's the boy's from the R.U. the Ra Ra boy's, who does he think he is?

I think John kear may replace Stevo.

Ray 'there's arms, there's fists, but they'll all be in the bath together after the game' French.

Ray actually said that after another Kurt Sorenson high tackle started a 26 man brawl in the early 1990's.

dont forget "working overtime"and "body on the line"

Would love Rabbits, Gould and Sterlo to commentate a few SL games.

The problem with Gould commentating on super league games is that he would just slag off the poor quality of play compared to the NRL!

I do agree with previous posters though that Eddie and Stevo have been 'past it' for years. The longer they stay at Sky making a mockery of rugby league the longer it will take for people to take the game seriously. The same goes for those clowns Mcdermott and O'conner. Reminds me of the days of Eddie Waring and a dog on the pitch sometimes!!

I also agree that although not perfect Brian Carney and Jon Wells did a good job covering the NRL grand final t'other day.

Phil Clarke.....if only he would shut up about Wigan

Same for Powers but warrington....they should be impartial!

If only Stevo would go, can't see it myself, he's on a 10 month all inclusive working holiday and getting paid quite handsomely I would imagine. Wild horses would have to drag him away I reckon.

Me too if I was doing his job.
Travelling the country,staying in good hotels.Watching two games of rugby a week,and getting paid for it.He would have to be crackers to give it up.
I would still take Stevo over Mr Wigan.
