| Quote: Rhinoshaund III "After watching the first 2 games now, what is everyone's thoughts on the changes/tweeks to Sky Sports RL coverage.
Lets start with the generic rock music for the opening credits. Doesn't exactly scream action. What was wrong with Biffy? Royalties perhaps?
Touch screen analysis with Brian and Jon. Decent, touch screen in line with developments on premier league coverage and other sports.
Team line ups, player vs player on screen. Ill admit when they put the backs up on the screen and with Monaghan playing 6 I struggled instantly to make the connection with the back line with the new layout. I like the Player Vs Player line up they do later.
GARBAGE!!
And probably the biggest change. The new video ref system. If im honest it looks awful. If I was a new viewer and I switched on to see two blokes in there coats trying to work a touch screen telly Id think what the hells going on. It looks amateurish. A stroke of genius last season bringing Cummings on board to explain the decision process has been put back miles by showing tweedle dum and tweedle dee making their decision followed by Ian Smiths shoddy announcement to the stadium of try or no try and why the decision was made.
I think Sky Sports RL have tried to be too clever here and fix things that definitely didn't need fixing.
Also, I don't like change. ![]()
GARBAGE!!

| Quote: William Eve "I'm no fan of Sky's commentary on any of their sports platforms. It's often too loud, too in-yer-face and way too chavvy. It appeals to those of a meat-headed, bigoted and drunken nature who are equipped with little to no intellectual capacity to form their own opinion.
Sky commentary is invariably agenda driven too. Minor incidents are often turned into a continual screaming torrent of brainwashing hyperbole which is then tagged as either fantastic, significant or shocking.'"
Got to agree but most of the BBC is just has bad  |

The BBC commentary isn't good but at least it's not in-yer-face like Sky's screaming, ignorant output.

i just think during a video ref decision the only voices that should be heard are the 2 guys viewing the incident , eddy and stevo`s mics should be switched off at this point , hard enough sometimes to get it right without stevo going on about a double movement in your ear

Sky's coverage is pretty damn good to be honest.
It's that idiot Stephenson and his cut 'n' paste commentary. Put another, younger, clued up person next to Eddie if you have to, but please, no more Stevo and his "He knows it" and "He's fully aware".
You dolt.

Regardless of the debate over whether SKY is a good option or not, or whether Thursday night is a good option of not.
I think plenty of people like watching the game on SKY.
Luke Walsh is still trending high UK wise today. So some people must watch it.

Exactly. Do we really need replays of every minor occurance let alone multiple replays of the same thing. |

Listening to Stevo's voice tonight might make a good excuse to move him aside for this evening at least. He should have calmed down about Luke Walsh a bit.

Not seen a Sky game since the beginning of last season. Last night I found it very irritating in Stevo being judge and jury on every error and ref decision.
Seems to the latest fad I suppose.........you are judged by media.

I think the Wells and Carney half time analysis with the touch screen is pretty good but seeing the two Ronnie's do it in the build up I wondered whether the touch screen was actually working lol.

I've written to sky sports asking for the video ref system to go back to the way is was
It's embarrassing.
Also asked to phase out Phil Clarke
I like the commentary team apart from Clarke.
He offers nothing and irritates most fans including Wigan fans.
Wells and Carney are great.
McDermott and O'connor should stick to the funny light hearted stuff for boots n all etc.. Although don't mind there reviews at half time and after the games just not during commentary.
Eddie, Stevo, Carney, and one other in commentary works well for me.
Someone to replace Phil would be great to also give Stevo a little less to say.
I agree there needs to be someone to take the load off.
I fully agree with the repeats. This is my worst complaint about the sky footage.
It's so annoying the crap they show on repeat while the game is playing.
