In what way is bringing the video refs into the stadium, standing and fiddling with a touchscreen an improvement over a non-partisan environment in a Sky van where they can sit comfortably and and do it properly? It can only lead to less accurate decision making. And the ref badly announcing their findings to the crowd should last about as long as Stevo introducing the teams and the margin meter.

Good commentary can really add value to a game. It's time to start easing the old fellers to one side. Give stevo an occasional pundit slot, and Eddie can keep boots and all. But new blood please, sky. Protect your investment.

I think sky producers have been watching reruns of gladiator

You can't deny that two ex players standing in front of the same screen talking us through replays we can't see through a dodgy microphone works well though.

'tired and boring', 'cliches', 'pointing out all the negatives'...sounds like your average rlfans poster to me.

My main gripe with them tonight is how much they were playing down the importance of the league and the league leaders before the match, referring to Hudds winning the LLS as a 'consolation prize'. While the Grand Final is more important, surely they should be bigging up the competition they are commentating on for the next 7 months or so and not playing it down!?!?

Really do miss Vossy commentating. Cant wait to watch the NZ warriors home games so I can hear him commentate again . Also looking forward to seeing how Tomkins does in the NRL

Does Eddie think there's ever a kick which isn't "high and hanging"?

'Men in Coats' is a great new innovation

Wont see a clearer sending off this season.

Ill challenge any wigan fan to defend that.

It was never a sending off!

But it probably should've been.

Where I have a problem is not whether it was a sending of or not (which I think it was by the way) but that another team other than Huddersfield could end up benefiting from it. This happens time and again in our game and it a prime example of why the sin bin should be used much more IMO! Disgracefully late challenge.

Worded my post wrong. Certainly should have been off.
