John Motson said he got Aldridge and rush mixed up. also 2 black players at possibly Wimbledon. It happens

"Here on Scouse Island..."

I used to get Fonua and Manu mixed up all the time, especially in the early days when they had similar hair styles. Blooming snowflakes everywhere that read into everything too far

This thread is supposed to be about Eddie Hemmings,not doppelgangers.

I like Eddie
Wells is the best especially with Carney. Intelligent guys.
Barry I like. Tez needs to go.
I liked Clarke but he's a bit too random now.

Silly Barry McDermott and sillier Terence O'Connor, with their terrible northern accents, both need to go, along with Phillip Clarke, who talks gibberish with a northern accent.

I don't like the Irish accent of Brian Carney, but at least he is intelligent, so I can give him a pass on his accent. The same point applies to Yorkshire's Jonathan Wells.

However we need more commentators with national educated BBC accents, like David Wood, if rugby league is to expand its national appeal.

I disagree.However,Stuart Cummings must go. The only ones i would keep would be Hemmings,Carney, and Bill Arthur,the rest need replacing.

That's probably more racist than what Hemmings said.

I agree with dumping Stuart Cummings and retaining Edward Hemmings, Brian Carney, and William Arthur. But I also want the clever Yorkshire man Jonathan Wells retained.

William Arthur could be the commentary replacement for Barry McDermott and Terence O'Connor. If casual viewers heard Edward Hemmings' and William Arthur's articulate and well accented voices describing and analysing the game in progress, these viewers might imagine that the game is as worthy as it really is. Moreover British rugby league might even get some good national sponsors.

Jon wells is annoying with his mumbling,stuttering analysis on the game.

I don’t get the love in for Wells. I don’t think he’s that good, he’s just not as bad as the others.

I think he's excellent.
The one guy that can talk about modern rugby league as more than just "run it in hard" or "get on their faces"

Like i said, not as bad as others. To be fair to others though they’re commentating on the game as it happens which is much harder. Having 20/30 mins to look at replays of tries before HT/FT and putting a circle around a defender pointing out he was the one drawn in isn’t that impressive or difficult unless you’re one of those people who didn’t spot why a try was scored in real time or in the 2/3 replays shown immediately after the try was scored.

But that’s what’s needed from a half time/full time piece same as in football. I think he does that perfectly fine. It’s something I think the BBC misses out on, otherwise their coverage is far better.
