The thing is that Terry isn't funny. At least Barrie is a 'character' and brings occasional humour even though he's a pretty awful pundit. Terry is a boring, monotone robot and it goes without saying that he doesn't offer anything insightful. He doesn't even seem to get excited about the matches which, for all the criticism of Stevo over the years, you could never accuse him of lacking passion for the product. Terry literally brings nothing apart from a dull, repetitive, droning voice that goes on and on and on throughout matches.

If you had never watched rugby league on sky and tuned it, you would think it was a rugby league version of what sky used to do with football games. Get a couple of fans in the studio to commentate on the game. Fans who had never had a shred of media training and came across as bafoons.

Get the NRL bunker team in...

At the very least I will know how much a KFC zinger meal deal is

That being the case why on earth did they subject us to Stevo for 25 years?

It is hard to be harsh on Terry and Baz , great players that they were but still it has to be said, their must be better out there......

Barrie and Terry should never have been anything more than an occasional 5 minute piece pre-game or on Boots n All.

I agree Barrie is better than Terry but still he isn't particularly good. Terry is just awful and should never have got a job as a commentator or pundit. As others have said he offers no insight and, along with the others, makes the whole thing sound like a group of mates watching the game in a pub.

There's far too many of them. Reduce it down to Eddie and 1 other during the game. That may well be a role that Barrie or Phil Clarke could do ok, the 2nd commentator with Eddie taking the lead and simply doing the commentating rather than delving into analysis, which he's shocking at, however he's excellent when he sticks to the commentating.

Then have Brian Carney, Jon Wells and a guest in the studio. I'd like to see them get more involved with the analysis at half time rather than it just be Jon Wells. That's not a criticism of Wells, just I think the guests are often under-used.

The whole thing needs to be a lot more professional and much less like a group of mates messing around.

Has anyone written to Sky with a solution to this or just moaned on here ?

Listen to the NRL games, and the likes of Fittler, Lewis, and especially, Sterling, illuminate and explain the game in a grown-up fashion. Compare with those fools on Sky and they are a bunch of over-grown schoolboys in comparison.

Beltin.

No. Have you contacted the police about the referee that got knocked out or just complained about it on here?

I have to say I agree about O'connor and would reduce his time but I like Barrie and would have him in the Stevo role.

Interesting analysis of my post, which was a one word post.

Can you explain how my one word was a complaint, rather than just an opinion of of what the end result should be?

If you do some research, you will know there is no need for anyone to contact the police, as that has all ready occurred. I can only assume at this point that the referee involved has brought the action. Then again, I have noticed from your posts that you don't really research much before posting inaccurate and some time, just plain incorrect stuff on here.

I said it was interesting.....wait...... No I was wrong, it was just as boring as 98% of your contributions to these forums, which others have already pointed out.

I'll await your bite, you are the type that can't resist
