| I've no real problem with Eddie and Stevo, bar their sensationalism, over some events.
I've said this before, so bear with me, those who have seen it before
In the days of old, one telly in a house, and my dad being a fan of both RL and RU, I saw both codes. I find Union dull, unimaginative, and vastly over-rated. BUT, take their commentator of yesteryear, and he'd make the most dull 12-9 game (all kicks, naturally) seem like an event.
RL has a game that's a bit scrappy, and E&S are having non-stop digs "this is shocking", "I can't believe top class players can play this bad" etc. YOU'D NEVER HEAR BILL McLAREN COME OUT WITH THAT, and he was classed as a commentating legend.
A fracas happens in open play, in either code
E&S "This is disgusting" "There's no need for this in our game" "Appalling. They'll be looking at that, at Red Hall on Monday morning, let me tell you"
Bill McLaren "Little bit of argy-bargy there, but let's go back to that BEAUTIFUL dummy scissors between Jerry Guscott and Micky Skinner, a few moments ago. Sublime play"
E&S HAVE to sensationalise EVERYTHING.
Basically, they are bloody good broadcasters. If they weren't, Sky wouldn't employ them.
I just wish they'd commentate in a normal manner.

Definitely. Once something winds you up you begin to look for little things and interpret them differently to back up your opinion. I spoke to Stevo after the Broncos game in August, and he was full of praise for Warrington saying he would be cheering for us at Wembley. Yet I regularly read on here that he loves Leeds and hates us!

may be to a gedree but theres no doubting the bias towards leeds saints and wigan.....the season we won the league saints eddie asked paul cullen on boots n all is it good for our game that warrington are putting huge scores on teams,it cant be he whinged..weeks later saints murdered wakey at there rented home on sky and all we got was only saints could score trys like this and true entertainers...2 faced and biased if you ask me...
watched that super league backchat this morning thought i had leeds tv on..hardly a mention of westwood who got nominated for m.o.s but more concerned with sinfields (whose a very good player)omission from the m.o.s list

| How many games have you been that are 'the best ever', I've probably said it loads of times?
"This was Wire's best game we were near perfect".
The trouble is humans don't remember every single moment of their existence.
The thing is though we remember sections of our life and other peoples life, many a time i remember a day that a mate has forgot.
My point is they say things having forgot what they have said in the past, trouble is you might remember them saying something contradictory to what they have said, we all do it.
Our experiences change and it changes our view on things and our opinions change.

| Are you saying they are senile, Yed?
I don't like that they don't commentate on the action; it would be better if they did, because it would negate all the popped-into-their-heads-and-spewed-forth-without-a-filter claptrap they all come out with. I honestly don't think they're concentrating on what they are saying, or else Eddie would not have started babbling about the moon, or where Stevo keeps his hair (?!!)

Media personailty in not intentionally offending supporter shocker!
I bet you also beleive coldplay when they say that the town or city they're on that night are 'the best in the world', don't you?
Rugby league has had bad commentators in the past and still, to a very large degree, does today. We take what we can get but we shouldn't get some sort of stockholm syndrome to the outdated and often embarrassingly bad commentary we get now.
It doesn't bother me too much but I can see why people complain.
