I hate to start yet another whinge about commentary, but *why* are we persisting with a pundit who can't explain anything beyond 'running as hard as they can' and 'tucking the ball under their wing'? It's almost unlistenable at this stage and it presents an outdated, skill-free image of the sport. We can do better surely?

Awful.Baz and Tez every game it's just too much.

Terry is terrible, Barrie at least offers some good rugby knowledge and opinions.

I agree. Absolutely no way both should be commentating together though.

Can't believe sky are using Tez soundbites during the ads to promote the game as well.

But we want to keep the game simple and northern and Baz and Tez represent this, don't they?

Surely Sky wants to increase viewing figures for all it's sports? They just have to reverse this dumbing down. There should be a minimum IQ for all commentators and summarisers. An Australian accent on commentary is a must as from next season and banish the 'setasix' thickos whatever experience of the game such individuals may have.

Get some music on and just watch the game it's much better! Every now and then I try to listen to the commentary, then after about 1 min it's off agian.

I'd suggest Sky bring across Warren Smith as a commentator from Fox Australia.

F***ing Sinead O'Connor would do a better job.

The thing is that Terry isn't funny. At least Barrie is a 'character' and brings occasional humour even though he's a pretty awful pundit. Terry is a boring, monotone robot and it goes without saying that he doesn't offer anything insightful. He doesn't even seem to get excited about the matches which, for all the criticism of Stevo over the years, you could never accuse him of lacking passion for the product. Terry literally brings nothing apart from a dull, repetitive, droning voice that goes on and on and on throughout matches.

If you had never watched rugby league on sky and tuned it, you would think it was a rugby league version of what sky used to do with football games. Get a couple of fans in the studio to commentate on the game. Fans who had never had a shred of media training and came across as bafoons.
