It's been fun.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_44480.jpg



Wells is perfect for the analysis that has to be his role, he does it well and i look forward to his segments.

Carney is the strongest of the lot, he needs one of the main jobs and should partner Hemmings until he retires.

Clarke should be given his own show that isn't the live games or partner Wells instead of Carney with the analysis. Clarke to his credit considering the grief we give him is very good at seeing the minutiae we all miss.

Baz and Terry should be on a programme like Rugby AM, ex pro's that think more like the fans and are allowed to share their non pc views of the sport as well as the more comedic element of sport.

Cummins...pointless get rid.

Bill Arthur does the pitch side stuff very well and he should keep that role.

Hemmings should be made to do the home Catalans games too, it's not hard to do from a studio surely?

Did you get rid of all the voices in your head? Do you now miss them and the things that they said?:

Just because they've played and been involved in the game doesn't give them an insight or knowledge of the game outside their own careers on the field. Neither does it make them good commentators.

Carney and Wells to go forward with another "Pure Commentator" like what Eddie is supposedly employed to do. (He used to be good at it too). Then keep one of Barry Mac or Clarke to do touchline, the second game they show side by side now and the Catalan game. Get shut of the rest.

I would just like a commentator that is impartial and refrains from sharing their opinion. Not much to ask, surely?

this would work!
too much courting controversy and offering opinions,that should be left to the studio, not the commentary box

Faux outrage and making comments about comebacks when 1 team finally score, they are 30 points down and less than 5 minutes

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg



Quote: ploinerrhino "Headhunter writes . they have no insight or knowledge of the game
Bottom line is they just aren't intelligent or articulate enough to commentate on serious matches. I agree with the earlier poster that Barrie can have some use in a minor (non-commentary) role as comic relief and adding a 'non PC' opinion. Terry is completely useless and has no place speaking on television.

The last and best ever RL commentator was Keith Macklin, Hemmings et al are not and have never been fit to put the cover on his microphone.
There are a few radio commentators that I'd put in front of any of the current lot, at least they can describe/commentate on the action instead of continual arguing/disection and random witterings as we have now.
The supposed great John Motson is a micturate poor 'commentator' he is incapable of really describing what happens when it's happing but just states what happened after the event during the replay.
Hull's very own David Doyle Davidson is let loose with the mic still for our games. It's like listening to somone with memory problems and whom has little grasp of English language. .it's beyond awful

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif



CAncelling sky sports after tonight, the amount of cut aways during the game is ruining any possible flow far more than any mistakes by the teams.
