| There are a lot of threads on many message boards about Eddie and Stevo, Boots N All being rubbish, Cullen, Barrie and Terry, tired formats, constantly rolling out tired old coaches.
Some good has come through recently IMO like SL Supermen and is this show liked because it is different and has new faces presenting and as guests. I must admit that I do watch SL and Championship games on delay now so I can have x30 at the ready when all the turgid stuff is on.
If you were given carte blanche to re-vamp Sky's RL coverage what would you do? All formats have to re-invent themselves and it would be useful to hear some solution ideas rather than simply "I hate Sky's coverage" etc.

it's not just Sky, the BBC coverage is also woeful, but the product is less interesting this season as well.

| Apart from making sure Brian Carney is never allowed to open his mouth on television again (or if he does then at least have someone overdub the audio) I wouldn't change much about Sky Sports RL coverage.
It's pretty decent in my opinion.
I'm pleasantly surprised by how Barry McDermott comes across on TV too. He seems an entertaining guy. I always had him down as an unintelligent brain dead thicko. I was wrong.

39110_1363272058.jpg Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good

sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league

Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate

the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever

| Wells, Mcrae, Clarke (and that chubby fella announcing the teams before the game) need more time on our screens and Eddie and Stevo need less.
Eddie is meant to present the programme and ask questions, not give his own opinions. If he does his job properly then he is fine.
Stevo needs to go other than his thursday evening slot on SSN, his passion for the game cannot be questionned.
I would like to see a seperate team for the commentry box and the studio, rather than the same guys rushing down to the studio during the ads.
Get rid of Baz and Tez and leave them to do some kind of funny section on boots 'n' all.
I would like to see more coaches as guests in the studio and maybe some ex pro's like Sculthorpe and Radlinski. Maybe even Farrell and Robinson, that would make more people stay on the channel if anything.

| I considered buying 3d coverage when i heard it wasn't Eddie and Stevo doing it. Keep Wells and Carney, Bill arthur is alright, but we need a proper full commentator other than just Eddie.
Agree than BBC is bad but don't mind Claire Balding.

32137_1302980312.jpg Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'. Let’s not forget resilience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32137.jpg |

| Generally I'm OK with the format.
I'd get rid of Tez, keep the rest, Jon Wells has been a good addition this season.
They all need to stop looking at the camera when they are talking to somebody else in the studio.........very odd, think it was started by Stevo.

| Get rid of Boot’s & All & replace with a round-up of the NRL games. At least we’d see an hour’s decent rugby each week.
I should get a rebate after sitting through the last two offerings.

| Clarkey doesnt seem to be as much as a D!ck lately.
I think they all do a great job.
most people get offended if anyone of them talk bad about their supported team, or dont talk enough about them.
get over yourselves.
Id love to hear some of the crap people on here would come out with if they had the chance to do the same job.

| I think a complete revamp is called for. I've always liked Eddie & Stevo but in recent years have begun to think they're past it. They repeat the same old predictable lines in every game, and seem to have turned into slightly bitter old men questioning every decision as if they know better.
I'd love to see Sky audition for new commentators (I'd give it a go!). Then get in a younger regular assistant to replace Stevo - an articulate ex-player with a sense of humour perhaps.

| Tell the commentators to actually commentate. Less of the opinionated approach.

Thats true, you could takes stevo's commentary from one game and it would fit over the next.
