Need to get rid of Barry and terry. From listening to the Salford Leigh game ben Arthur sure as hell as changed his game. Maybe coincidence? Maybe they should look towards the Paul brothers they are good speakers

Ray French and Jonathan Davies

His name is Bill Arthur, however it was Rod Studd commentating.

I like having a ref on the commentary - brings some rationale to the decisions. Cummings knows all of the rules - unlike the majority of the others.
Wells is excellent - I really love the analysis spotting things that we typically don't - often from a couple of plays back. I really rate him.
Carney is good and a more natural / confident presenter.

Phil Clarke irritates me with some banal observations, particularly stats related

I thought Terry O did well on the Leigh / Salford match and I think he adds something.
Barry Mac is less used and I've no strong view

That leaves Eddie and Stevo. The face of RL to many.

Knowledgable but sometimes plain wrong.
Eddie has some mileage left and he is a good presenter on the whole.
Stevo is a bit past his sell-buy date I'm afraid and doesn't add the technical insight that I think is needed for a back up man, given that Eddie is someone who loves the game but hasn't played at a top level. Jon Wells could do that job, or Brian Carney.

Brian Carney and Barrie Mac did a good job on Leigh v Salford.

Cummins may well be clued up as an ex ref but he is monotone and sounds miserable. He needs to come across happy and share in a joke.

Theres nothing wrong with Phil Clarke, he is a master among men

bator

added for accuracy

Dave Woods should get the gig

Barrie Mac is sure to get one position which Stevo would normally do.
Probably Bill Arthur for Eddie but if Dave Woods could be poached from the BBC he would be an ideal replacement.

I think Dave Woods and Barrie Mac would work very well.

I still can't understand why Cummings is part of the commentary team just providing a critique of every decision.

Total waste of time and completely negative

Hopefully there is only room for Barrie and not Terry in a new shake-up

Both way past their sell by date as a lot of TV sports commentators are.

Eddie clearly loves the game but is inarticulate and asks banal questions at times when searching ones are needed especially to RFL officials.

Stevo is just an idiot who goes whatever his first opinion is even if there is conclusive proof of the opposite.

We want commentators who give a passionate but unbiased view of the game.

Of those we have seen I think Rod Studd is easily the best commentator and Carney would make the best frontman (like someone else on here said though he needs to take himself less seriously most of the time). Like a lot of others have said Jon Wells needs to be utilised much more he is excellent. I still fundamentally like Clarkey who is passionate about our sport and though has every right to be Wigan biased is nowhere near as bad as the two idiots. He just needs to get away from the obsession of the stats. I would also use Tony Rea more.

The problem will be like all other sports once the decision is made that will be it. Good or bad that's what we will get for some time to come.
