why stop there?all the fans who can remember 'Skippy' should have been issued with a privet leaf so they could all do the Skippy whistle.loooool it's so bad I've had loads of mileage out of this,Russell left the Oscars for this "yeah ok you've said 125 times.shall we prostrate ourselves "oh look there's Benjamin Netanyahu in the crowd behind that gimp,oh look there's Bashir assad who's father was a lifelong fan of Blackpool borough.

Where did Crowe actually get slated this thread, having trouble locating it?

I think the point is, yes make mention of the man and what he's done for Souths even mention other famous faces but it was just a constant stream of referrences all way through the game.

Most of the 'moaning' has been about the standard of commentating hasn't it, maybe that's why the game struggles, who knows.

its great having a name to authenticate rugby league as a sport That is happening it gives kudos.but what I'm saying no man is bigger than a sport these lot were positively drooling like that hunchback in 300 to xerxes.
We don't need crowe to validate it's existence

Stevo's Ill health this week is a reminder for SKY that he's no spring chicken and they need to start developing someone to take over his role. Eddie should also be retired at the same point. Both have given great service to the game but it's time for a new era now.

Can john wells transfer from the summarising role which he has done fantastically well to Stevos chair?just can't say of the top of my head who would be marvellous,who would be a natural

We get what we’re given, have you not seen the RFL Chairman.

Maybe the majority of S.L viewers were in-fact an underground cult dedicated to the inane ramblings of the commentary team.

Perceived as a minority sport, given a subsequent commentary team, could be worse, they could rope in J.J.B, oh the joy.

Please don't give them idea's like that.

I found myself thinking I agree with every word you say then you slipped in the name Paul Cullen as a Knowledgeable fourth man, now you have lost all credibility.

Eddie, Clarke and O'Connor all need to feck right off. I actually like Stevo and think he's good as a colour commentator, shame he is going to retire this year. Eddie often drags him into stupid slanging matches.

If they want more summarises during games then the best ones are Shaun McRae (think he's in Aus now though), Tony Rea, occasionally Barrie Mc, John Kear and although he sometimes drones on, Paul Cullen talks a lot or sense.

Yes like Tony Rea, speaks well and JK is solid.

looooooool,rl fans we're a self deprecating bunch.It's primarily a northern sport,we should have players like jbb drafted in nothing better than an I'll at ease (don't look at the camera)fidgeting, frozen roe deer in headlights when asked a hard question that visibly makes the brain hurt. Gormless mouth breathers neuro linguistically programmed for the whims of underground commentary cultjust what we need.

That's the problem with Stevo. If allowed to do the job then he's ok....but Eddie on match day and Rod Studd on BackChat insist on forcing out this rambling angry charactour that they think people love to see.
