| I've often thought that in the heat of the moment when they are infuriating me that I would be glad to see the back of Stevo and Wiggy, but then reflect and think I might actually miss Stevo if he was gone. He's definitely someone we love to hate.
However, how bloody refreshing was listening to the commentary on the SOO and the free to air Broncos vs Storm match? They just got on with the game, didn't dwell for 15 mins on every incident and show blatant bias towards any one team! It was marvellous!
Get shot of them both, and get rid of Phil to, his stat love in has completely ruined Boots N' All! (even Cullen with his "look at the build up" was better)

| Hemmings is the only commentator. Stevo and Clarky are pundits.
imo Hemmings is a very proficient commentator but his additional opinions [punditry] spoil his act.
Stevo is bombastic and entertaining. Clarky provides some intelligent insights but is rather too serious.
As a team they don't bother me. The grass is not always greener!

I tend to agree.
I like Clarkey in particular but he has got a bit too serious recently.
I thought all the commentary teams over Magic weekend were good. I think Barrie Mac will step up more and more to replace Stevo as he gets older. He's clearly an intelliegent guy who was just poorly educated. He is finding a way of showing it now.
Have to add Carney to that too. Supermen series is good and the interviews he does would have been messed up by some more experienced inetrviewers.

Would miss his 'one pointer' obsession. Sometimes have a bet at home to see who can get closest to the time of the first mention of it when watching on Sky!

I'd agree with that.
I like Eddie when he just sticks to commentating instead of his opinion. Stevo can be stupid sometimes but I can't help but like him.
Clarke does my head in. In the fact that when he's fawning over one team he can be pretty good with some useful insights, although the stats thing has gone a bit too far on occasions. But I think he's very good when talking about the sport in general.
Carney I think is superb and has to be the future. Often insightful and always impartial.
Wells is good for a bit of analysis.
Barrie I think is getting better and better as is Rod Studd.
Terry, sadly, still makes me cringe.
Overall not much needs changing, just a bit less opinion & constantly reviewing and commenting on controversial decisions, and a bit more commentating from Eddie & Stevo and I think the whole thing would be much better.

| Reading the first couple of pages youd have got some sound bytes for the commentary on a video game.

| i don't know if he's done games before, but I thought Graham Beecroft's commentary for the Catalan-London game was pretty decent.

I totally agree with you. I think Brian Carney and Barrie Mac are working hard at improving and it really shows. Terry was poor a couple of years ago and is no better today. Just churns out the same old tired cliches and is not very insightful.
Barrie needs to ditch the Baz and Tez double act if he knows what's good for him.

| Embarrassment is the best word to describe Stevo in my opinion, the bloke is long past retirement. He can take Phil 'if you watch Wigan' Clarke with him as well.

Was a very good player in his day, no arguments there, but so was Clarke. This doesn't make them good media people.
