Brian Moore? Really? I find on the whole just to be really negative, he's sounds to be constantly moaning when I watch the 6 nations. No thanks

Agreed.
Also, we should be wanting either a RL person or a pro commentator and Moore fails on both counts.
It's bad enough that the head of the RFL is now wearing Union clobber, without inviting in the enemy. |

Take off your flat cap and put down your whippet for a moment. Also remove that chip from your shoulder. Why is rugby union the enemy?

Seriously? Crabtree is one of the most articulate ex players on TV and Peacock isn't bad at all. |

No, no, no, no, nooooo
Crabtree is awful - he over emphasises almost every word and speaks like he's reading a book to a young child - far too much animation. He's also way over the top with his praise - he's like James Corden.
He just sounds like he's putting far too much effort into making what he's saying sound interesting - so even when he does have something interesting to say, you're distracted by his stupid tone.
I know we shouldn't always look to Oz for the answers, but there's some cracking commentators over there - Dan Ginnane (triple M radio) describes the game very well and really whips up an atmosphere, and Matt Thompson is a young bloke who's doing more on channel 9 that is also really good. I'd love either of them... I also love Vossy, but more for his character, and that would wear thin (a bit like Stevo) once the novelty wore off. |

That's a case of you not personally liking his style. The accusation that he can't string a sentence together is way off the mark. |

Agreed - he's actually quite eloquent... it's just the tone that's all wrong! |

to be fair to Moore his main gripes are the delays surrounding the scrum formation and complex penalty awards, which are entirely justifiable. the only problem is his tendency to drone on about it for ever. both sports are lacking in this area, we have a barely formed scrum where the ball never goes where it should, and they have an over complicated scrum where the ball can stay in forever until someone gives away a penalty |
