As good as HD is, it doesn't get rid of Jonathan Davies squeaky, inaccurate spoutings.

Perhaps the picture will distract me from this..

Let's hope so.

Dave Woods is equally poor.

RL coverage is appalling in the UK. Scott Donald's recent assessment of Sky in particular upon his departure from the country was spot on.

Eddie is like the cringeworthy mate everyone seems to have who pretends to know about sport, tries to join in the conversation, reads the odd headline but inherently, knows nothing.

Stevo has become a parody of himself and his assessment of games is way off beam.

Phil Clarke lost his credibility with his "injury" comment along with him repeatedly drawing one off at anything or anyone Wigan-centric.

Sky's coverage on a Thursday night of Co-Op games is SO much better. Bill Arthur, Terry O'Connor & Barrie Mac make a far better commentary team. I'd love to see them promoted to doing the Super League matches instead.

But even Eddie, Stevo & Phil come across as brilliant compared to the BBC clowns. There's only Clare Balding who's anywhere near decent on BBC and that's more down to enthusiasm for the game than it is for knowledge. The fact they continue with dross like Ray French & Jonathan Davies is another example of them not giving a toss.

A combination of Brian Carney, Terry & Barrie would be best imo.

Absolutely.

Brian Carney is an excellent summariser. By far the best around.

He is very good.

I also think Robbie & Iestyn do a good job on the BBC.

You were doing so well until then



Robbie isn't great "live", stutters a little too much and his brain thinks faster than he is able to project to the audience.

Iestyn could talk a glass eye to sleep.

Agreed. I'd like to remember Robbie as the player he was for us. Not for his presenting skills, which, to be honest, are fecking awful.

Okay, his talking isn't that good, but when you actually listen to what he says he makes alot of sense. But I suppose I have a soft spot for him and RL fans in general cba paying enough attention.

But I'm sure you'd rather listen to Iestyn than Eddie Hemmings ?

Remember Robbie's radio show on the Pulse? More wooden than the Trojan Horse.
