| They already cut out a large chunk of the live game by showing replay after replay of what we've just seen while play is going on, or close-ups of the coach watching the game, or when the camera man seems to always find the fat bird in the crowd with a replica top on that's about eight sizes too big and about eight teeth missing!
Just show the game, LIVE, that is supposed to be on. Nowt else!

| Did Cas win last night because they "put their hands up" , "turned up" and "ran hard"
awful again from SKY last night, showing a slow mo of Delaney pulling up injured in the warm up while there was something happening on the field, almost missing a clean break by showing a shot of Daryl Powell just sat there doing nothing, not to mention the lack of commentary and the bringing up and analysing almost every decision made.

Exactly, this kind of commentary reinforces a stereotype of our sport as big meatheads running into each other. And they talk about nothing else, just 'big hit' and 'run harder than your opponents' ad nauseam. Jon Wells really is a breath of fresh air, shame we have to wait til the end to hear from him.

I particularly enjoyed O'Connor being completely unaware that Shaul didn't have his own microphone.

| "When you go out and play, you usually look at who you're going to play against"
Really Terry? Surely you aren't even that thick?

It's painful listening to his cliche ridden boll^cks. I really liked him as a player and the few times I've spoken to him he seems a nice guy, but he's god-awful as a commentator.

| Which one went into a diatribe in the second half about Broughton?
By the time he’d recanted his tale, the set was over.

| Every time he opens his mouth to speak he starts or finishes with "Eddie". It's really annoying. He's obsessed with saying either "Big , or powerfull, or strong "

That was Barrie Mac, opining about Broughton's qualification as a quantity surveyor; it tells a story when someone with an education is a thing of wonder.

Imagine him trying to do the same thing with the England RU team?

| Couldn't Sky just replace O'Connor with the Churchill dog? They're visually similar but the canine wins hands down when it comes to intelligent conversation.

| I like O'Connor as a fella, he is fairly knowledgable about the game, but he's just not a good fit for TV punditry....
I find his tone of voice excruciating.... He always sounds like he's trying really hard to first of all try and hide his accent, then to try and sound intellectual and finally sound sincere in everything he's saying - so he ends up sounding really false... I watched the Leeds game back on TV and felt his tone really made the game seem downbeat and stale... Certainly doesn't whip up an atmosphere or the excitement levels...
