Quote eddiewaringsflatcap="eddiewaringsflatcap"The whole SKY package is abysmal. The presentation cries out marginal sport trying to create fake or WWE style hyperbole that looks and sounds so small time. Its like SKY want to prsent rugby league in the same light as British Ice hockey, speedway and netball.
The try music is an embarrassment- what self respecting sport would feel the need for such a nonsense? Notwithstanding the ridiculousness of it all, its about three decades old and belongs in an era of Joe Bloggs Jeans and glowsticks. Garbage.
The commentary team are a nightmare - failed football commentator Hemmings holding court like a pompous monarch who seems to think he is the arbiter of whats good for the sport. His snide criticsims of the challenge cup are a disgrace.
Resident daft lads O Connor and McDermott offer little but talk over the game and appear to be the producers attempt at chuckle brothers style humour.
Angela Powers and Bill wouldnt get a job in any other sport on SKY. A grade C GCSE media studies student could do better.
Phil Clarke likes to find new and arcane ways to sound the fool than the (pseudo) intellectual he is so depserate to be. Chris Eubank and Phil would be a lovely meeting of minds. The sad thing is when Clarke first got a gig with Sky he was a reasonable pundit.
Oh and finally can someone please tell mouth full of wasps Wells that there is a a T in Catalans.'"
I absolutely hate Jon’s “Ca’alans” BS!
And Phil tonight, what was he going on about with some van Gerwin fella from Darts and comparing him to James Roby:
“You’ll see van Gerwin on Sky sometimes throw about 180 darts a night, which is about the same amount of passes James Roby makes in a game and they are almost all as accurate at van Gerwin’s darts”
Sling yer hook Phil you weapon!
