We've always got loads injured after the first few roads of the season, it happens every year. next home game their on about filming the first few scenes of casualty.

Will "The good Doctor" be happy
Has Phil Clarke backed Salford
I wonder if they're pleased for Iestyn Harris
How big are Pattersons feet
Do you think Widnes are missing Kevin Brown

Mrs Patterson is a lucky lady.

You would have thought Eddie would have mentioned Salford are 4th......

If only we could tempt Andrew Voss over.

The Sky commentary always focus on negatives and 'controversial' incidents. Mix in a healthy dose of repetition, then add a full drop of ex-referee and we're left with a fine Northern mess.

I actually cancelled my Sky Sports subscription because, apart from it paying Premiership footballers inflated wages, I can't take Hemmings atrocious excuse for commentary seriously anymore.

If all you subscribe to Sky for is the RL, there are plenty of places you can get live streams online. Turn the speakers off on your laptop, job's a good 'un.

Great hit on Paddy Flynn, definite try saver.

Football on Sky has evolved since the Premier League started, changing commentators and studio guests, bringing in ex-players that have played in the modern game or involved in the modern game (Neville, Carragher, Henry etc).

RL are still stuck on the Eddie & Stevo bandwagon that they had when Sky picked up the sport when it was the Stones Bitter Championship! Phil Clarke, Barry Mac and Terry O are from a different time in the game too, only Carney is of recent SL history.

They need to introduce some new blood, move Carney into the comm box and Stevo out, and bring someone in to replace the role Carney is currently doing - with a view to Carney becoming the new Eddie and then the new Carney into the comm box too.

I agree, we need an Andy Gray/Richard Keys style stitch up to get rid. Its either that or soon the commentary will sound like something out of Last of The Summer Wine.

Rugby League on SKY has been produced by the same bloke for the last couple of decades. His name is Neville Smith.

I think some of the ideas he & his team have come up with over the years are quite innovative, but if he thinks the whole commentary/punditry on the programme is good, he's seriously deluded.

He's ultimately the problem.

Agreed!

I thought we'd got Eddie because of Samuel L Jacksongate but the blokes a cockroach

I haven't watched it back on Sky yet, but at the game it looked as though MCB grounded the ball. What was the reason it wasn't given?

Video ref decided there was clear evidence that MCB touched the ball, lost contact and touched it again once on the floor so a knock on. I know I'm biased but didn't look conclusive enough to over rule the on field decision. Cummings thought it wasn't a try, Stevo thought if was. Unusually I was with Stevo

I don't understand how Eddie can commentate for so many years and still not fully understand the game, it's absolutely crazy. And now with the addition of Cummings it is so much more obvious when we have Eddie constantly asking for rule clarifications or being corrected. It really is not good enough for a professional set up.

The post match analysis last night by Barry and Terry was awful. Terry in particular was cringeworthy!
