Eddie and Stevo still commentate with John Davies in the studio untill he gets up to speed with the game then give the commentry role to him instead of Hemmings and get an ex player involved to.
Boots n All is so boring
Why not just say you want The Footy Show? i wouldnt argue with that.

StudioNew play-by-play commentator, Stevo, Phil Clarke

Studio & CommentaryThe Rugby League Show
I'd like a new idea from the Boots N All format and have Eddie, Stevo & Phil Clarke joined by 2 guests (current players or coaches) who all discuss and debate the recent talking points of the RL world, not just SL, but Internationally, NRL, the French game.. in depth! Then do some features that wouldn't be accesable on the internet e.g. reading on news sites. Something like they did a few weeks back with that Banker who went to France to play for Realmont or someone like that.
Boots N All
Led by Brian Carney, analaysis by Paul Cullen (or in an ideal world Tony Rae again). Features all 7 SL games, showing the tries then Cullen does his analysis and what not.
Super League Super Men
Keep Carney and his current format
Weekly Rota
Monday
I like it. Playbyplay commentator should be Dave Woods. I like his commentary of the game.

| Two or three of the darts commentators on Sky actually work in RL and football too, I'd love to see them given a chance of commentating on Sky. I think it's John Gwyne who comes to mind, he works for Soccer Saturday and SSN doing updates. One of the younger fellas at Sky does it too.

| Have you guys forgotten what life was like before Sky? Coverage generally, camera angles in particular was even worse than ITVs coverage of a football Cup Final. Of the current team, Eddies a good 'anchorman', Stevos worth a listen, Phils statistical analysis is unsurpassed, Bill has improved immeasurably over the last year or two, Jons a worthy addition and, lastly, but by no means leastly (?), Barrie, Terry and Rod all are working really well now. So why change a pretty good format. I agree with evolution, not revolution. And anyway, the RL coverage is the main reason I subscribe to Sky.

| Eddie, Stevo & Clarkey need the boot, ban Cullen from ever appearing get in Stuart Pyke/John Gwyne to do commentary with Wells and John Davis from Sky Sports News as the anchor with Carney and a guest. (was in the studio for the World Cup and did a great job).

| Frasier Dainton presented Wigan's WCC dinner and was pretty good. He always seems quite knowledgeable when reporting on SSN as well. I'd have him presenting in the studio with Stevo and a guest somehow relative to the teams playing.
As commentators I would have a new play-by-play guy alongside Clarkey and either Brian Carney, Baz or Tez with Jon Wells doing analysis and Bill Arthur the in-game reports.
As others have said, Boots n All would show highlights of all 7 games, plus the previous weeks Championship game and would go through the results and news stories from all levels of the game presented by Dainton.

| It really could be massively improved,with just a few tweaks.
I'm not a fan of Hemmings,but if they are going to use him,either make him the front man in the studio,or the lead commentator,but not both.
On a similar point,other sports change their commentators around.Hemmings is just over exposed and therefore comes out with all the same rubbish - so,have different commentators for the fri and sat games.
Why on earth do they need four commentators/analysts in the box - they all churp up to justify their existence.Limit the box to a commentator and an intelligent analyst - obviously not Stevo - and then allow one or two analysts to comment before,at half time and after the game.Then at least they all have defined roles.

Ban Paul Cullen?
He talks a great game.

| Think they should utilise Fraiser Dainton, Angela Powers and Brian Carney more. One of these should be the host in the studio along with Jon Wells and a Super League coach or player.
I'd then have Eddie or Bill Arthur alongside Stevo or Phil Clarke in the commentary box with Rod Studd on the sidelines.
I'm not a big fan of Bill Arthur or Phil Clarke but better than nothing I suppose.

| Half the time I end up turning the sound off during the game.
Eddie's 'commentating' is awful. A commentator should tell us the name of the person with the ball/making the play, inform us of interchanges, inform us of any players switching positions and throw in some facts & figures. Eddie forgets players names, try's to throw in his own opinions/analysis and comes accross bias towards the top teams.
Stevo's job should be to provide expert summary and in-game analysis. He should explain why teams have done something, explain certain rules and their outcome. He shouldn't be telling teams what to do ('go for the 1-pointer', h'e's got to get the message out' etc.), he should be there to explain the game from an experts perspective and point out the subtle changes in tactics/errors and rules. He's a joke.
