Carney was awful in his presentation, was cringing with every sentence!

| Quote: Keith Swiftcorn "Did you miss Ray Warren's [i"They've just put a finger in the dyke"[/i piece of commentary?
It is to be hoped that consent was sought first, though given the nature of such shenanigans in RL in Australia, probably not.'"
I did chuckle when he said that!
Also, one of the commentators summed up International representative sport after Akuila Uate's 2nd try when he refferred to the "Australian" winger as "the flying Fijian" |

I found the commentary pretty tedious to be honest, gimme Eddy and Stevo any day!

I thought the commentary was very good and benefited from the absence of Phil Gould who is the Aussie equivalent to Stevo for me (i.e. annoying and always trying to say something controversial instead of commenting on the game)
Ray Warren and Peter Sterling are excellent

I think Eddie and Stevo are great personally, at least they enthusiastic and love the game unlike a lot of the miserable lovers on this forum.

What? They are worse than Sky, wait and see if an English ref has the audacity to make a mistake in one of their games. |

I will have to agree. They may not sound as openly outraged when they moan about a decision but they are certainly a lot more childish about it than eddie or stevo, and if the commentators themselves disagree about a refs call they spand the next ten minutes sniping at each other about it. Its just not as immediately obvious because everything below the emotional threshold of 'your mother has just been murdered' has the same flat monotone in aussie accents. |

My mother was murdered. I'm feeling pretty ordinary about it.

It was a very average murder. |

I don't mind Stevo and Eddie but it seems a bit theatrical and comic.
It always feels that they are trying to talk up the game into something that is not really happening on the screen.
The part where they attempt to educate the audience on the rules of the game makes you feel that they are commenting on some obscure sport that the people watching have no clue about.
T.R.Y He is thinking about going for the one pointer (when his team is 10 points behind)
Time for a change, the game has moved on but the commentary is keeping the game in the eighties.
In Australia Rex Mossop was fantastic in his era as was Ron Casey but their time moved on and they bowed out for new talent that understood the modern game better and had played at the highest level in more recent times.
Time moves on and the game moves with it as should the commentators.
