Quote: Chorlton RL "
I don't mind Eddie too much; he's got a good clear voice that develops urgency and intensity and he's good at the straight talking, tackle by tackle name-drop style, but he is a bit repetitive. He doesn't vary his phrases (think "Wide to West"icon_wink.gif.

Best bit of RL commentary in history, IMO. We even named the try after it, it's as memorable as "They think it's all over".
If Eddie could cut out the daft giggling when Stevo cracks a funny or makes a daft comment, he's not a bad one to have the mic.
There's not a lot to change - compare it to the shambles that is BBC coverage, and we're doing very well indeed.
If anything, they need to avoid actively looking for controversy. Whereas the NRL coverage comment on an apparent reffing mistake and move on, the Sky team will still be talking about a dubious decision in the 2nd minute as the crowd are counting down to full time.
The game is exciting enough, there's no need for the faux soap opera drama.
