Defiantly the Vouce of RL and above Eddie Waring and Ray French, maybe not the very best commentator but he was ours.'"
Completely agree! |

For me, a change has been long overdue.

Certainly not a fan of warrington, I believe he is a widnes fan. He takes great joy in us not winning a grandfinal. |

Ignore Martin. He’s an uneducated troll who has been banned from this board countless times. Mainly for murdering the English language |

That was Hemmings problem, being surrounded by too many amateurs who stopped him doing his job by talking over him with pointless crap about nothing, instead of just making a point when it was appropriate. |

Maybe that's why he's gone now. Had enough of the muppets.

Whatever the reason, I think Sky's coverage has gone stale and I think he needed to leave. He deserves a good send-off though.

| Agreed he deserved a good send off but should have left at the end of last season.
Sky's coverage is truly diabolical. They have lost all interest in RL which is painfully apparent.

How can a widnes fan have bias towards warrington? Obviously Eddie did more research on the game than you! |

Sadly it's becoming apparent that MGarbutt1986's world is something of a thought-free zone.
As for Eddie, he was a great change from Ray French and Eddie Waring - a straight man commentator who was thoroughly competent and professional. People saying "I don't notice the commentator" are somewhat missing the point - his skill was in being the unobtrusive observer. But even then he had some memorable moments.
It looks like Bill Arthur is taking over. Hopefully this is just temporary as I don't think Bill has quite the commentating skills to take over the top job full time. |

Well. Its been 17 days since Edward "hung up his microphone", and, if it must be said, I'm missing him.
Contrary to popular belief, Eddie DESPISES Warrington. I've known the fella for 15 years, and he's NEVER had a good word to say about my team, but, the commentary since he has left, is DREADFUL.. Biill Arthur? I'm sorry, but I've owned kettles with more charisma.
