Premier Sports are televising every game of the tournamant. Even better news was that as from last Friday, Virgin TV subscribers get it for nowt for the duration of the WC. Commentary is outstanding, particularly from Andrew Voss.

You're joking aren't you? He was shocking, mind the co-commentary from the Kiwi last night was so bad it was funny.

So you would rather have Sky's very own Statler and Waldorf bleating on about referee's decisions/ dangerous tackles/any team or player not involved in the actual game etc; etc? Superior commentary on all fronts IMHO.

Are you joking?

I would estimate 99/100 people enjoyed - to say the least - the commentary from Voss. You're the second person I've come across on the internet suggesting otherwise. And I'm not even exaggerating.

In fact, I've never in my life seen rugby league fans agree so unanimously with anything as they do that Voss is a quality commentator. Almost all feedback on the Premier Sports coverage singles him out for praise.

"I like his commentary and im glad prem sports got him in."

"Agreed. I thought Voss was absolutely perfect for that game."

"Must say Andrew Voss is brilliant. He is funny but not over the top but good calls with Noble."

"Voss and nobby were excellent, really bounced of each other. "

"Voss and Noble's commentary was a massive part of the enjoyment of that game."

"Premiers commentary team added to the game,other broadcasters,take note."

"and listening to the very excellent Mr Voss whose deadpan style just had me in hysterics"

"We want Voss , we need Voss!!! "

"If Stevo is retiring then I reckon Sky should get Voss on board with a suitable co-commentator (i.e Eddie to go as well) and they could re-invigorate their coverage of Rugby League. Voss is a good caller of the game"

"Voss is a great commentator, light hearted but with great knowledge and unusually for an Aussie he's a big fan of SL

"could someone kidnap Ray French & replace him with Voss? "

"Andrew Voss is just a fantastic commentator."

"Thought Voss and the team were great."

"Thought Premier sports coverage was better than anything either bbc or sky have ever done. Relaxed. Fun. Informed. All 4 were great. Voss a top front man and game caller."

"Agree about Andrew Voss, he's really good. Enthusiastic and makes you feel like you are watching something good. Which it is of course! "

"Vossy is great so enthusiastic about the game great presenter and commentator need a revamp of the sky team and vossy would be a great addition "

"I will pay for sky to sign up vossy class "

"Toatally agree the commentary from voss and noble was awesome I thought "

"Voss and Noble = brilliant commentary partnership - enthusiastic / funny / knowledgable - fantastic "

"Vossy is excellent he was stupidly dumped by channel 9 over a total non story. He would be a great addition to the sky team "

"The World Cup is a real celebration of our game and Voss and the team brought this out yesterday."

"Like having Vossy there, he makes a hell of a difference."

"wish we could get Vos and co on sky instead of the stat orientated commentaters they have , at least Vos commentates on game without throwing up meaningless traffic lights and how the 2 teams have compared over the last 30 years and talking utter drivel "

"Superb commentary from both Voss and Nobby."

"The second half was fantastic, well doen to the Warrington crowd and Voss's commentary was spot-on."

"Take my hat off to Premier Sports for bringing Andrew Voss on board, an absolute masterstroke. His match commentary and humorous one liners are brilliant. Hope he pops in the Turf for a beer before the Wales v USA game on Sunday!"

"the addition if Voss is genius, loved his commentary of the NZ game."

"The picture and production quality isn't great but that's not a real problem to me, the quality of the game is more important. That said, give me Voss over the sky clowns any day"

"Voss as stated by others too, is a mile ahead of any commentator on R/L that we have over here"

"vossy is great sky need to get him signed up "

"Voss is the best commentator of all (in this comp at least)"

"Andrew Voss is the best RL commentator around. Why Channel 9 ditched him and replaced him with the terrible Ray Hadley is unbelievable."

"Very impressed with commentary team which further enhanced a brilliant spectacle of a game "

"Brilliant hits, try's and best commentary I've heard in years"

"This is brilliant, great game, great commentary"

"Massive hits, great passion, sold out crowd that's got louder and louder as the games gone on, and great commentery too!"

"Sky should sign him."

"That was just brilliant! Best most exciting game, felt like I was there in the crowd! Great commentary too"

"Honestly, the commentary was just in another league when you compare it to eddie & stevo."

"Brutal hits, great skills and an enthusiastic near full house stadium. Throw in top notch commentary and It was worth the Premier Sports subscription all on its own."

"A privilidge to watch the game and to hear commentary that was perfectly in tune with what was happening out there. "

"Absolutely great ending to day 2 was getting home from the PNG match to watch this on TV. Andrew Voss captured the event superbly."

"great crowd, great commentary; well done to all concerned !"

+ viewtopic.php?f=2&t=560680&tsmp=1383091184 if you want about 50 more.

I can't recall a game as good as NZ - Samoa where the commentators were as talked about as the actual on-field action, tbh.

Voss is the peoples champ.

Ps. And no I'm not the man himself, or even related to the microphone-king, my life is a bit uneventful is all icon_lol.gif

I think the coverage provided by Premier sports has been brilliant so far. They might not have the graphics that Sky have but in all other departments it is far superior.

I hope premier bid for the rights to Super league when the contract next expires.

I (as a premier sports subscriber) would like them to be able to put in a credible bid, The dream ticket for me would be a joint bid with the BBC one live game a week on terestial free to air & two on satalite with comprehensive coverage of the NRL & Championship as now. The BBC to show NRL highlights on BBC four late night/early hours for the non subscribers to record. It would be great for all the BBC get good sport a a reasonable price with a ready made comentary team, Premier get BBC tech know how the game gets better exposure. Best of all we get shut of Stevo Sky & wendy ball affecting our fixtures.

Really liked the Voss commentary but not that keen on Noble, to many clichés and nonsense statements so would put him in the same group as Eddie and Stevo.

you will be struggling for tv coverage on the BBC but premier sports have it all, and they do a really good job.

cheap enough and plenty of offers going around to get it on sky/virgin.

I think overall coverage is good ,what annoys me is the constant shouting by the refs HOLD HOLD/SURRENDER ECT ECT
every tackle do we have to hear them shouting like that its so annoying.

Hey folks

I missed the first week of the RLWC as I was dragging a bunch of kids round the USA. Back now though, and have watched the England v Aus game. But is there a highlights catch-up programme anywhere on Premier/SKY/BBC which I can watch to get the main bits of all the other games ?

good thing with the premier coverage and the commentary unlike Eddie and Stevo (with the help of Cummings) they are doing exactly what they are paid to do, provide commentary on the game rather than slagging off the officials with nearly every decision.
Only downer is the number of camera angles!
Overall its been excellent so far
Same cant be said of Ray French!!!

There is a weekly highlights show on BBC on Sunday nights just before midnight. The first one should be on BBC i-player now. There are also videos of game highlights on the BBC Sport RL website as well as team profile pieces etc.
