| I'd like to see Carney presenting the whole show. Get a bog standard commentator in from outside the current Sky team to be main commentator with either Carney or Clarke (just keep him away from Wigan games) as 2nd commentator.
Have Carney as main presenter of the pre/halftime/post-match stuff along with 2 guests. 1 can be Clarke or Wells, the other should be an ex-player or coach, or both can be ex-players/coaches.
Then obviously continue Wells excellent bits at the touch screen.
Job done. Cut it down, most aren't needed. Unfortunately, I like most of the others, but they either come across as unprofessional or as not up to speed, or just not necessary.
Rod Studd - I've had enough of his talking too fast and talking over the top of other people, he also doesn't add anything that a generic commentator wouldn't.
Terry O'Connor - terrible. Just awful. Can't speak & furthers the "stupid northerner" image. Adds nothing insightful. Walking cliche generator. Whoever at Sky thought he was good on TV wants shooting.
Barrie McDermott - better than Terry, but still not good. Obsession with saying things like "Shot!" when someone puts a big hit in is cringeworthy. As mentioned by others, sounds like people talking in a pub.
Eddie - I've always sort of defended Eddie because when he sticks to commentating he can be very good at it. Sadly he seems determined not to stick to just commentating and I don't think you'd ever be able to reign him in now. Also, for someone who's been continually watching and involved with the game for so long his lack of knowledge is shocking. If it's possible to reign him in then keep him, if not then replace with a bog standard commentator.
Stevo - Now, I love Stevo, but his time has gone. He's now a little bit like your favourite grandad or uncle who isn't quite sure what's going on around him anymore and every now and again, when he's had a few pints, comes out with something daft. A shame but you still love him.
Also, whilst I'm on a rant, can someone at Sky sort out the post-match interviews, especially from Angela Powers. They just need to ask the coaches what they thought, not say things like "you were good first half but not 2nd" it leaves them nowhere to go.

Of course they wouldn't.

| Barry and Terry need getting rid off.
they offer nothing and seem obsessed with players either "putting their hand up" or not "putting their hand up".

that doesn't make it right. most French fans I know are irritated by the partisan nature of their broadcasters as well.

| Less than 2 minutes in and already I'm finding myself annoyed at the commentary.
