With a hefty amount of luck and some forward thinking within the RFL, SKY won't be broadcasting ESL after the next contract runs out. But sadly it'll be same old crud and continue to not only drag the game backwards but putting up with Eddie and co not to mention the overall contempt SKY shows the sport.

??? I don’t understand your point . Paul Cooke isn’t a journalist . His autobiography was written by Adrian Durham . And Ray French was an excellent commentator.

Agree with all of that .

I find the Catalans home games awful to watch and the commentary is dire .

Are you questioning the match calling of William Arthur, or just the commentary of Barrie McDermott, Terence O'Connor and Phillip Clarke?

William Arthur is fine. It is just the other aforenamed who drag the broadcast down.

How can a autobiography be written by someone else? Judas was wriitten by both Paul Cooke and Adrian Durham.
If it was written soley by Adrian Durham,it would be a biography.

I post under a name of a deceased player. He baby sat me as a kid and was an immediate favourite when I was first taken aged 7 to see him play for Hull FC.

I think there's a difference between you and the poster I was referring to. Imagine if someone started an account called Steve Prescott with the sole intention of being a WUM.

That's because you aren't very bright. I presume Paul Cooke wrote his own autobiography......... Just because someone can put words in print it doesn't mean he or she can commentate. And Ray was a terrible commentator.

Just to educate you, an autobiography is written by the subject of the book. One written by someone else is simply a biography. Ray French (great player that he was) is not, and never will be,a good commentator.

I’m not questioning anything Barry , Catalans bore me .

I never said Paul could commentate . Paul sat down with Adrian and talked about his life , rugby career his Mum etc , it was Adrian who wrote the book.

In my opinion Ray was a great commentator , a legend.

Ray French knows the height, weight and former amateur club of every single player in SL. This is what sets him apart from the amateurs at sky sports

That may be true and good on him if so. However, he does seem to have a problem with what's happening on the pitch!!
