| Whoever takes over at the RFL must surely sack off Sky when the current deal ends.
First match of the season and the stale, dumbed down presentation lingers on. The tired old 'robot intro', inane Terry ...
First set of the season and there was ZERO commentary on the play. Eddie interrupted by Terry before the first tackle, then Baz having to have his say (all the while ignoring the actual play). Compare this to the first NRL match when it is on.
After 5 minutes the TV sound was switched off (for the season) and the Proper Sport radio commentary put on instead. Miles better (even with the pictures being half a second behind the commentary).

| I'm not a huge fan of American football but with the scores of commentators that they employ it does stir up an interest in me and I seem to find myself understanding what they are talking about, even though I don't. I think that the university education that all the players receive now (is it from scholarships?) along with media training it really does help them charm and engage the viewer. In fact, compared to any UK Sky sports commentary they seem to keep on raising the bar.

| Eddie has been calling “40-20 attempt” when the ball is kicked on the last tackle inside the 40. Does my nutt in.
