I actually would prefer that Just-for-men grinning idiot sidekick of his to retire over Stevo.

Stevo has been great down the years, no question.Him and Hemmings have gone stale of late though and its crying out for a change in the commentary box.

I actually wouldnt mind if Eddie and Stevo continued in their presenting capacity at the head of the show.A bit of debating and banter pre and post game but thats it.commentating on the actual games needs some new blood, and the sooner the better.

I agree with that.
Maybe back when SL started in the mid 90's Stevo's style suited the times, I don't think it does now. I'd also say that when Eddie sticks to actually commentating on the game and not analysing then I think he's a pretty good commentator.

I actually think he's very good at that, his voice coiveys the drama of a game very well. Any game that Bill Arthur does sounds like a real drone.
The problem comes when he gets drawn into nonsensical conversation threads with baldy.

But can the viewers of Sky accept an Irish-accented commentator as the main complement to Eddie Hemmings?

I suppose that one could point to the BBC hiring the Irish reporter Ola Guerin, or to the Australians who now constitute nearly a quarter of the BBC's news reading team, including the very beautiful Afghan-Australian Yalda Hakim. But these are educated Australians who speak without any embarrassing primitive drawl, and constitute a kind of accent neutral team. Brian Carney will simply have to work on his vowels.

Ill take anyone that doesn't go on and on about refereeing decisions. Hemmings is a nightmare for that.

Whilst I think Stevo is past his sell by date in terms of modern day commentary he still comes out with the odd bit of brilliance which helps you live/re-live that moment.

An example for me was last season when Saints scored in the last minute against Wigan at Langtree Park, his commentary was great and helped enhanced what was a great moment, whereas I thought Hemmings commentary on that moment was pretty flat.

I'm not sure which of the current lot could quite go to that level and connect with an audience. Carney maybe, but I'm not sure.

The guy should retire now. I'm sick of his repetitive "commentary" now. He has nothing new to say.

"I just had to put pen to paper to complain about Sky Sports coverage of the game.
It's obvious to anyone Stevo is a Wigan fan.
We all know they are fantastic, but sometimes he is like a stuck record."

From the letters page of League express September 4th 1995, almost 20 years ago. lol, some things never change.

As a Saints fan who started watching when wigan were dominating, it really used to annoy me how much Eddie and Stevo waxed lyrical about them, but with hindsight it was just because they were the best team at the time.
That memory always makes me chuckle when I read the threads about them now [ihating anything Wigan[/i that some posters indulge in.

Poor Stevo, he just can't win.

I really like the bits of analysis that Wells & Carney do post game. It's the kind of analysis that's missing from the SuperLeague Show. Sadly both the SLS and SL Fulltime are boring.
