Quote: Wilde 3 "I just think it is poor to have him on the commentary team anyway! Having an ex ref on the team just encourages them to pick apart every decision rather than focus on the rugby.
In the NRL - even if a poor decision is made, it is forgotten about and they move on but we seem to just keep reiterating the same points'"
Whilst I would agree that it isn't good to dwell on our emphasise poor decisions it isn't great to brush them under the carpet either. I know a few casual viewers and football fans who appreciate Cummins' input, and I can see why. Personally I think having an ex ref on the panel is a good idea and adds another dimension to the commentary, just like having ex players does.
