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.

Like him or not, he's a former SL coach and therefore knows a hell of a lot more about the modern game than Eddie, Stevo, Phil Clarke, Barrie McDermott, Terry O'Connor and even Wells and Carney (who as mentioned look like Des Hasler and Craig Bellamy in comparison to the other morons). If you ever watched the match analysis that they used to do on Boots N All years ago, even with a relatively poor coach like Cullen or Tony Rae it was miles ahead of anything else in terms of actual detail and knowledge of the sport.

its a tough n' were a bit thin on the ground for ready replacements, Cullen yeah knows his stuff but presenting style always found him over officious, a stalinist in a pin stripe suit.stod rudd is about the best

Agree. Cullen was actually a great analyst on there and pointed out things a lot watchers would miss (quite similar to Gary Neville if you watch that PL show), whereas all O'Connor can do is point out the basics and obsess over forwards and "the forward battle".

They were even talking about Stevo's PJ's tonight ! Embarrassing ! Time for changes ITV have done it with football with the West Brom fan .

yep used to like watching/listening to Tony Rea weekly analysis but Cullen just talked nonsense the hole time. you can always tell a good coach because they talk in the language of common sense not gobbledygook.

Not only that but through important passages of play. The presentation style is terrible and the inconsequential stuff is just embarrassing.Russell helicopter, Russell face on video constantly, the black dude who was in his film.I t is a shambles
