| Quote Bovrick="Bovrick"Pretty much this, although I do prefer Vossy, at least part of this is just because he's fresh again having been out of the game for a while (even so he still got some hate from Aussies more used to him). Having one set of commentators for an extended period of time will always get stale, unless there's something else to contrast them with. I'd imagine Stevo and Eddie would get much less hate if they alternated with other commentators as suggested here.'"
Part of the problem for Hemmings and co is that they have to commentate a lot of awful games. As Voss said himself, it is easy to call a good game. I have noticed on twitter that you rarely hear a complaint about commentary following a good contest, however when Huddersfield hammer Hull in a play off game you never hear the end of it. |

I notice that Andrew Voss has indicated on Twitter that he would consider commentating on Super League if he received an offer.
I like others on Twitter and other social media have contacted Sky to ask if this would be a possibility. Might be a long shot but if you feel like myself that Eddie and Stevo have become stale then do send them an email. I believe Voss would do wonders for the presentation of the game on Sky.

| Quote Ferocious Aardvark="Ferocious Aardvark"Very much doubt it. A great natural commentator is just that, he should be on each and every game until he loses his mojo. Nobody to touch that lad at the moment.
Who was the RU guy I wish we could have had - Bill McLaren? He could make London Romanians v Penge in a mudbath sound like the biggest event you ever witnessed. '"
Surely only if you believed his nonsense to start with?
I remember years ago seeing the "highlights" of some Yawnion international (on the Beeb of course) during which some heaving mass of mud-covered bodies rolled about interminably near a try line and eventually collapsed over it. The ball was totally invisible to all but a couple of flab-warriors in the middle of the heaving mass but somehow the referee decided that a try had been scored. According to McLaren, it was "a magnificent score". |

What gets me is the number of people used in RL matches on tv. During the WC Final you had your 3 BBC people in Mark Chapman, Dave Woods and Tanya Arnold. Added to that you had SIX RL people in Jamie Peacock, Sam Burgess, Robbie Hunter Paul, Eorl Crabtree, Brian Noble & Jonathan Davies. That's NINE people to bring you coverage, just overkill.
Sky does similar, you had games last year when you had Eddie and Stevo plus Clarke, then Carney chipping in when he could, plus occasional comments from the studio guest for the night, and to top it off Stuart Cummings to discuss any referee decisions.
It's gone OTT. Even in football I don't see that many. The only sport that has that many voices during a match is cricket but they at least have to fill 8 hours or so of tv, not 2 & half hours.

He referred to Luke Dorn as "a poacher".....Luke has his own song now based around that name  |
