| Quote: Big Ask "Huge improvement
Having Cummins critique every decision was just ridiculous. God knows who came up with that as a good idea as it never be anything but negative.'"
Cummings was 100% needed when Stevo was still there. He just didn't understand the laws of the game it was embarrassing.
The current crop are a bit less out of touch but I for one miss having SCummings there to correct the errors and misconceptions which they all still make.

Its crying out for Eddie and Stevos excitement though. The commentary just seems soooo flat.

He could make paint drying sound exciting...….and often did!

Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.

They had there chance after wiggy retired unfortunately it's clear sky don't care to much about RL I thought bumbling bill was there to the end of last season it seems he's the cheap RL option throw in a bit of Ben Proe and a little Stuart pyke when the others are busy and bingo
On the plus side Jenna (who wears the trousers) brooks is a million percent improvement on austin powers and they finally got rid of them robots in the credits. Tiny acorns and all that.

| Quote: FearTheVee "Bill Arthur is embarrassingly bad.
I muted it last night - I have never muted any other sport other than RL, but have done so with RL (which I love) on several occassions.'"
I watch a bit of the TV match preview and thereafter mute the match until full time and then pick up the after match comments.
My wife was a Stevo fan so we listened when he was there but she lost all interest after he left.

| We need to get people in who truly understand the modern game. Wells and Carney are decent enough, but the rest are poor. Although, at least Brooks is a huge upgrade on powers

He was nothing but a bigoted old git who despised rugby league and made snidy comments about the game whenever he could. I remember one particularly nasty tackle and his response was "hes obviously been watching too much rugby league"

| Rl fans seem obsessed with crowds, commentators and referees but anyway...
Eddie Hemmings used to get a lot of stick but he was an excellent commentator and lead presenter, I actually enjoyed Stevo aswell in their prime they were very entertaining.
Andrew Voss is the best in the business at the moment, doesn’t concentrate on refs calls and is also entertaining

An upgrade because she’s prettier? Apart from that she’s not a patch. Powers showed genuine enthusiasm. You can tell Brooks just doesn’t want to be here and is only doing it for experience. Plus she hardly knows any of the players names it’s embarassing

Are we watching the same people, Jenna Brooks is way way better in every aspect of the job than Angela Powers was.

Surely this is a wind up? Powers was dreadful.
