Thought it was done very well. Having just been promoted to the prime Sky Sports viewing slot, there are bound to have been many footy viewers watching for the first time, and good on Eddie for welcoming them, and making a bit of an effort to big up our sport. Not to mention some personal pride for having become, for the summer, the main commentator on Sky's flagship sports spot. Give the man a break.

Also, it was a pretty good game with a big crowd, some good tries, fine weather, and a great night all round, so all in all, a good result for rugby league. I thought we filled the spot exceedingly well, and Eddie played a big part in that.

I thought that it was well done; Eddie managed to convey the rules to those who might not be familiar with them, without appearing to condescending or patronising.

My friend mute's the game before kick-off, cant deal with them.

He was going on like thousand's of football fans were tuning in cause the PL season had finished, they do it every other week explain the rules 'in case new fans are watching' last night was particularly cringeworthy, do my head in.

It was a bit cringey and self-concious at the beginning when they were overdoing the 3D with Brian Carney and Rod Studd walking in circles - it reminded of the early 3D movies when everything would protrude from the screen in a clumsy attempt to show off the technology.

I too found the references to football rather embarassing and a bit patronising, particularly when he started fawning about how many footballers ("like Wayne Rooney") watch Rugby League; the low point came when Peacock took a knock in the first collision and he started banging on about how tough RL players are and that unlike football, we'll have no stretchers here - cue Makinson being stretchered off the pitch a bit later on.

I don't like them - they're not a coherent or a credible voice for RL in my view and Stevo in particular is increasingly difficult to listen to.

I found john wilkin begging people to come to magic weekend in his post match interview particularly cringey. Last night they spent half the game talking about things the weren't happening on the pitch and when they did they stumbled over words and got things wrong, it completely undersold the game. They should bring over dave woods and nobby from premier sports

All we need is a female touchjudge and Eddie saying he'll smash her back doors in, job done.

How about when a player (McGuire?) split his head and Eddie was banging on about "if you football fans don't know what's going on here"

If they wanted to attract football fans, patronising by a pair of Northern voices will just about confirmed all thier pre concieved ideas of our game. I am not a great fan of Australian imports but they do have some very very good presenters of League we should use them & give those clowns the boot.

I don't see what nationality or accent has to do with it - they just need to be good commentators.

I wish SKY would make Ray Warren an offer he can't refuse,the master of RL commentators.If you close your eyes you can still see the game when RW is calling it.

If you are attempting to court the Monday Night Football viewer than don't call them soccer fans. Don't give them a reason to turn over if you can help it. Bit of an own-goal there, but relatively decent that aside, but then a good game often allows you to mentally tune out the comments made by certain SKY employees.
