hahah!

I think the problem is they (Eddie and Stevo) can't stop going on and on about an issue or incident.

For instance how many times did they keep on with the "Red Devilution" yesterday?
I understand they want to help big up Salford and fine mention it and do a segment on it pre-game but don't mention it every 5 mins!

Same goes for the Catalans v Leeds game on now, virtually every time Bailey has touched the ball they've mentioned his sending off v Catalans last season. Mention it once then get on with commentating on the game.

Obviously they're at their worst when it's a refereeing decision.

Catalans v Leeds is being covered by Bill Arthur and Barrie McDermott
HTH

You forgot :
"he's a tough hombre"
"claret"
"Merry whistle blower"
"He was caught in no mans land"

What I liked about the commentary in world club challenge was that I remember there been a penalty given for a ball steal that was actually a knock on. They said once it looked like a knock on, then that was it. They carried on commentating on the game.
On sky we show a ton of replays and Eddie and Stevo constantly bang on about how it was the wrong call rather than forgetting about t and calling the game as it is happening. Then if a try is scored Stevo will so "and this all goes back to the cheap penalty...". They draw too much attention to the negatives going on.

Yeah. I meant my post to include most of the Sky team, whilst Eddie & Stevo are the main culprits it's not exclusive to them.


Yep me too. I don't mind them looking at issues either at half-time or post-game. But during the game just get on with it.

Admittedly I don't watch much Union on TV since I can usually find much more entertainment value in scraping out the crap that builds up in a poorly built drain in my garage but when I happen to lose the remote and can't be bothered to get up and manually change the channel I do see a bit every now and again. The Union commentators don't seem to focus on reffing mistakes/controversies and neither do the football commentators.

stuart cummings, a former referee explains black and white rules as to why a try was ruled out.

stevo still disagrees with decision.

But he only uses those in 'the second stanza'

"It's sheer panic!"

'he's having WOW of a game...'

He reminds me of John Madden at times. Starts a sentence and then halfway through starts making some kind of laughing/eating noise and never actually finished what he started saying.

And in Eddie Hemmings world, is it possible for 'Little' Robbie Burrow to make anything other than a 'scampering' run?
