Quote: Father Ted "Terry O'Connor isn't a commentator he's a summeriser, a pretty awful one at that.
We seem stuck for quality commentators but not summerisers. Carney is good although he's now used as an anchor. Wells is good and Wilkin is excellent, when used Shenton is very good as well. Why SKY persist with "Baz and Tez" when there are so many better alternatives I don't know. They had their comedy slot on Boots n All years ago and have gone backwards since.
As for commentators, I quite like Bill Arthur but they need to bring in quality people alongside. There are folk about on local radio and club tv, I do think they could do a lot better than than current talkers!'"
Wells is a weird one, there's a lot of people who think he talks a lot of sense, and theres a lot of people who think he talks a lot of e, weirdly it seems to be the people that like 'baz n tez' who seem threatened by wells being able to actually put a decent sentence together.
Personally i like him, whether he should be present and pitchside at the moment observing every other team and hearing everyones calls and set ups whilst he works for cas is another matter.
Always surprises me that they dont get more NRL/Aussie players as guests on there, they've all been media trained and are generally good value to listen to. PLus i've got a guilty pleasure of hearing ocker accents, they're like scottish bank notes, you've never seen (heard) two the same.
