the worship of Leon Pryce was beyond belief, I could understand hyping up his return to Saints before the match, but there were loads of better players than him on the pitch last night, every slight touch he made was deemed to be "a wow of a pass" by Stevo.'"
I was listening to the game on radio during last night's game, so I filtered most of the commentary out. Thankfully.

| Quote: Bull Mania "I think Eddie & Stevo are fantastic. They get excited about the game, i would rather have that than a commentator who doesn't change the tone of his voice. They can't be doing that bad of a job if RL is getting record television audiences. They have their faults, but please find me a commentary team that doesn't.
The Cricket commnetators (apart from David Lloyd & Ian Botham) send me to sleep. Rugby union all Stuart Barnes does is moan moan moan (he makes Jonathon Davies look like an optimist) and we all know what happened with the football.'"
Agree. People call for Bill Arthur, yet he has the personality of a goldfish.

| Eddie proves value for money. Just now in the Wakefield v Bradford match.
"Platt was perhaps a little high on Cockayne then". Superb stuff.

| Stevo has annoyed me a lot tonight with his unprofessional-ism.

You can hear Carney responding through gritted teeth; I think he spends lengthy periods feeling embarassed by his fellow commentators.

Absolutely he does, I feel embarrassed for them too and with good reason. I can understand people liking the energy and enthusiasm they bring to the games, but the pair of them know nothing about the game any more and interrupt each other with pointless statements. The coverage is a real mess at the minute and would benefit from a more professional approach.

| Quote: bren2k "You may have to - some weeks he seems to be on one and is argumentative to the point of being unbearable; I get the feeling that he and his fellow commentators believe it to be amusing, but it rarely is.
The Aussie commentary also tends to be hyper-critical of the officals - much more so than Eddie & Stevo - which can also be a bit wearing.'"
Do you not watch much NRL?? Think your getting rabs and gus mixed up mate. As for been hyper critical never heard it myself, will say when a ref has made a mistake but gone go on and on about it for 10 minutes!!

I've watched virtually every NRL game on Premier Sports for the past two seasons, but I have to admit that I don't watch it with the same attention that I do domestic games. I may well be getting the names mixed up, but there's certainly one who plays the 'grumpy old man' and often pits himself against his fellow commentators in extended bouts of comedy banter; it gets a bit wearing, just as Eddie and Stevo's inane ramblings do.

| Has Jamie Peacock got an MBE? Only I don't think Eddie mentioned it.

| Stevo must be the worst commentator of RL ever, he's so out of touch it beggars belief.
Never played Super League and boy does it show. He's so so out of touch with the modern game,
just retire him and send him back to Aussie where he's obviously happy.

| They are out of touch and lack basic knowledge and make things up to suit there own argument.
On boots n all they were banging on about Gentle and Sandercock and said that no head coach from australia had come to super league since John Monie. So Nathan Brown was not a head coach then when he came across.
When commentating they go off on there own little agendas and ignore the game.

| I'm not one for jumping on a bandwagon, but I think Stevo should be put into the studio. You could cut and paste the same commentary from every game as he only uses about 20 different sentences.
I don't honestly know who i'd replace him with, I like Jon Wells and Brian Carney, Tony Rae used to be superb too, far better than Paul Cullen.
Eddies good I think, and I like Graham Beecroft too, good addition.
