He's God-awful, at one point last year he predicted Catalans to miss the top 8 when it was mathematically impossible.

The biggest problem for me is having so many voices during a game. Should be a normal two man team with the odd jump to a studio guest for opinions. Not 5/6 voices fighting to get a word in. Eddie and Stevo were much better back in the days when it was that setup.

Even without the Wigan bias thing I don't think Clarke is as good as some think. I think McDermott can be OK when separated from O'Connor who is poor and is only there because of the Baz Tez combination which isn't any good anyway. Get rid of Cummings, ok at first for something different but just stupid now.

O'Connor: you might not be old enough to remember the "yes, no" interlude. But please test your IQ for us by attempting to do the next commentary SKY pay you to do without using the words "you" or "six". Bet can't do it. Durrrr. Do the game a favour and resign.

he's desperate for a warrington win!

He's obsessed with saying "turning up" and "big man"

He's more of a soundboard than Stevo. Literally just repeats the same stuff every game. He has no analytical knowledge of the game, just "drives", "shots" and "turning up".

And usually starts a sentence with "sorry Eddie/Bill/Rod/Brian/Baz"

He likes Matt Russell, is he trying to line him up as his son in law or something?

Apparently next season will see Brian Carney and a new face take the reigns from Eddie and Stevo.

Bloody hope so

can we start a petition to stop barrie saying kick the ball "off the island!"

i bloody hate it when he says it, if it was once a game, then i'd let it go, but any ball that goes into touch.

Bill arthur has started saying it as well when commentating.

It's like one of them comes up with a saying and within weeks they're all using it!

Meat pie. Cringe

Barry and Terry are great for the other RL programmes, injecting humour into the sport, keep them off the live commentary though, just perpetuates the 'northern' stereotype.

Not so much that as they don't offer anything at all to the broadcast. They have no real insight or knowledge of the game, and unlike Stevo they are inarticulate and don't add any real excitement either. They are also borderline unprofessional, there have been several occasions where the other commentators have had to tell them off for condoning on-field violence. Being northern isn't their problem, being unintelligent is. Jon Wells is northern and he is a million miles ahead of Barrie and Terry, even Phil Clarke makes them sound like utter morons. In a different era they could've probably got away with it but they stand out like a sore thumb on modern sports broadcasts.
