Usual clichés and not a lot to offer IMO. Lois Forsell really showed Clarke up.

Literally only there to make themselves look like they’re being contemporary and to tick the diversity box but because of the dross they already have on there half the time she’s slotted straight in and doesn’t look out of place.

She’s got about as much insight as Terry or Barrie and they played at the highest level. There’s blokes down the pub with more insight than those two though and there’ll be women who haven’t played and just spectators of the game with more than her too.

I just mute it whether it be a man, woman or a three headed alien from Mars.

get Lois to take over Barry Mac, I'm sure she would do a better job then he can bugger off and write a book with his descriptive comments about how the game is played

I think the one sport that does it right is horse racing. Both genders seem knowledgeable and grown up within the sport. Couple of comedy types but mostly very slick presenters. Sky/ITV have got it spot on imo.Even the ex jockeys add to the show McCoy Fitz etc and of course the lady jockeys are going great guns which makes their sport look miles ahead in the Ladies sport revolution.

Sorry, I though we were looking for ways to improve the standard of punditry.

I thought Lois was excellent. She appeared to grow in confidence during the show and made some really articulate and well-informed points.

"WHEN ARE WE GOING TO HAVE AN INTERNATIONAL MEN'S DAY, EH?!"

What a load of tripe - by your standards, a massive proportion of the people who commentate and comment on sport in this country would be out of a job - and this forum would be like a ghost town, since your qualifying criteria seems to be that one has to have played the game at a level equal to, or higher, than the people you are commenting on? Do you have a view on Eddie for example, who by his own admission, has never thrown a pass in anger?

I thought it was a positive move - and regardless of the specific individual, it would be no bad thing if the Sky team were more diverse going forward.

And men - if you're thinking of typing or saying that it was good because she's nicer to look at than the men, well done for spectacularly missing the point.

The young lady did well.

For those interested its Tuesday 19th of November ........

I’m against bringing on a guest player who isn’t qualified to give an expert opinion just on because of their sex. I’m also against having Stuart Cummings on too, he kills the debate by clearing up the rules on the spot making it sterile.

Eddie Hemmings is a commentator, he wasn’t billed as being the all knowing and that’s why they had a ex-player on in Stevo (not that Stevo knew anything) but Stevo had won the Ashes and the World Cup and played in Australia at the highest level for Penrith.

You say the majority of commentators would be out of a job? They’re commentators/journalists etc, I’m fine with Tanya Arnold, Angela Powers, Claire Balding etc what I’m getting at is the women’s SL is nowhere near the standard that warrants female players giving expert opinion from a players perspective on Superleague when they are unqualified and lack the experience to do so. For the same reason I don’t want Jon Wells giving his opinion as he was probably one of the worst players ever in SL.

Now if it was Women’s SL on the TV, I would prefer all females commentating and only ex or current female SL players as guests.

It isn’t personal, the woman last night seemed like a lovely person and knowledgable about RL, she’s probably a cracking player too but I stand by my opinion and won’t be bullied into changing it.

Still waiting for the day SKY have a guest that doesn't have a broad norvern accent. Maybe it would be too much of a shock for their majority-Yorkshire audience so daren't try it.

you are not being bullied, you are being, rightly, shamed for sexism.
