Quote: JEAN CAPDOUZE "Yesterday, during the Catalans-Widnes match on Sky, we heard Anthony Rea (aka "Tony Ray"icon_wink.gif as sole commentator along with match caller William Arthur. What a breath of fresh air! Not since the days of Shaun McRae as sole commentator have I enjoyed a Sky commentary so much.
Anthony Rea was outstanding. He was cool, measured and scientific about the game and the players. No Phillip Clarke psychobabble. No Barry McDermott and Terence banalities and cliches. It was all thoughtful and insightful. Rea showed just how important it is to have an intelligent and articulate former coach as the TV analyst of a game.
If Anthony Rea was the sole commentator along with Edward Hemmings, nobody would complain about Hemmings.
Clarke, McDermott and O'Connor are the problem. Rea is the solution.'"
Have to agree with that. Quantity down, quality up; Get Rae in.
