I don't think Stevo is ignorant of the modern game but I think the whole format of "mates ribbing each other" isn't enough, listen to the other major sports football,union and cricket there's still a lightness of touch to the commentary but the basics of explaining what's going on the pitch are key.

Sadly we'll still be stuck with the rest of the Wigan mafia burning through the kleenex , in fact expect it to be mentioned more than once tonight ..

They can have John Wilkin next year - I'm done with him and he can spake.

If Eddie says "He's going for a 40/20" when the ball is kicked straight down the middle one, I might have to write a strongly worded letter. He seems to get one in every game and every time its when the ball is going straight towards the posts.
I'm always intrigued what position they are actually in and if they have a monitor which is on a few seconds delay, so they can review the footage before spouting rubbish. Also Cummins is starting to wear a bit thin for me.

Before the kick off last Eddie Hemmings comments saying "it is just wrong that Kevin Sinfield was on the bench" . Now I know is the greatest Leeds player of the summer era and probably of all time, but that comment was completely cringeworthy

In the last few weeks on the games I've seen Cummings hasn't been talking as much, so I wonder if they've noticed the complaints about it.

Agree on the Eddie "he's going for a 40/20" thing.....does my head in that he thinks nearly every kick downfield is an attempted 40/20 when 90% of the time they clearly aren't.

Stevo's man on man vs sliding defense argument is another gem.

Cummings was again ridiculously open in his desire for every decision to go against Leeds. He was almost Clarke-like when the video ref took more than one look at Saints's first try.

A glimpse of the future today from Sky for the Leigh-Salford game.

Rod Studd on lead commentary with Terry O'Connor and Brian Carney. And then they went and spoiled it all by having Angela Powers on sideline duties. Took her about five minutes to summarise the half-time team talks. I thought she was going to start telling us how nice the baby changing facilities are at LSV at one point.

Plus his ' Johnny on the spot and the coach will be furious comments'

Natalie Quirk (premier sports world cup coverage)does a better job than Angela Powers,like to see her given a gig with Sky.
