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

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

I had a moan on Twitter and suggest everyone on here does. Their coverage is utterly pathetic. Ignoring the fools they have presenting it, it's the highlights from the other non-televised game that does my head in. If they are so keen on showing the Warrington romp versus Cas, why not just televise that game instead of the Leeds one? It was pathetic, constantly cutting to every try they scored and at one point preventing the viewers seeing Leeds score a try that was ultimately disallowed. That is what the half time break should be used for. I'd go as far as saying I'd prefer the margin meter to come back than that.

this!
i actually turned the Leeds-Saints game off because it was doing my head in, cutting to Warrington every 3/4 minutes, i know it's not usually like that as it seemed Cas bent over for Wire but do we need to see every try scored while there is a live match going on? it's ridiculous, just show ONE game and keep updating the scores for the others FFS!
oh and while i'm at it, is it any wonder Wire fans get a bit frustrated, how many times last night did Hemmings and Clarke say this year looks like being Warrington's year, and they look like a team on their way to the grand final etc, either they are in on the joke or they it's just pure muppetry!

Always your year stuff was because of Sky.
every year they bigged us up every year we failed and every year other fans used to say good to see the arrogant wire fans knocked down a peg or two, meanwhile during those same seasons (pre Smith) we in the terraces just aimed for a decent playoff place and hoped for solid effort.
We got accused of arrogance over something we had no control over, namely Eddie and Stevo.

exactly, i've got no beef at all with Warrington or their fans, but it's stuff like that , that just sets you all up for a fall, it's disrespectful bordering on unprofessional , it's like them saying "is this the year we finally get rid of Wakefield, every time wakey get battered.
