Jiffys the worst of them all, hes so out of touch

Don't necessarily disagree with you.but at least people might know who he is.

Why does that matter?
If you don’t know RL, you don’t watch it.

Let’s not pretend we have anywhere near the product (on the field) to attract many ‘neutrals’ to watch Castleford v Salford on a Thursday night in February.

I beg to differ!

I hate Davies. I can't stand his peevish "Just watch!", as if the audience are naughty schoolboys who haven't been paying attention. And I don't understand why the Aussies can find ex-players with real tactical insights to offer, like Walters and Sterling (OK, Gasnier*, not so much!), whereas we end up with Cannon and Ball. Hemmings is obviously the worst. Quite apart from the ridiculous anti-Wigan bias, despite watching the game for half a life-time, he even seems to struggle to understand the rules.


* As I've remarked before, if you prevented Gasnier from saying "there's space behind the ruck" throughout a game, you would get lengthy periods of silence!

I just think the whole presentation of RL needs a revamp. Look at football, RU, cricket, darts on Sky. Half the time it’s not even the games that get the juices flowing but the presentation of the game. Even the NFL (which I find horribly boring) presentation is superb and tempts me in.

I enjoyed Eddie and Stevo to an extent. I think Stevo added a lot more to commentary than we ever gave him credit for and when he left there was a huge void. Same with Eddie now when you look at who’s replaced him in Bill Arthur who I have nothing against but he’s as dull as dishwater.

For me I’d bring in the whole BBC presentation team. Mark Chapman, Jiffy and Jon Wilkin whilst keeping Brian Carney, Jon Wells and Jenna Brooks from Sky and utilising Brian Noble, JP, JJB and other former RL stars. I’d also consider using Will Perry more, though admittedly his RL show on Sky isn’t great.

Commentary wise it has to be Dave Woods for me with a good summariser which could be Brian Carney and/or Jon Wells for your weekly “flagship” game and the others using other commentators (I can’t for the life of me remember the names of the back up commentators at sky).

Chris Kamara was one if the best pundits I've seen in the studio for a long time, which says it all about the usual lot they get in.

Have some of you ever considered that Eddie and Stevo created interest with their comments and their way of commentating?

I used to think the same about them, especially where Wigan was concerned until they retired and then realised how much they have been missed!

I've watched a few old games back and it's is remarkable how poor Wiggy and Stevo were looking back.

Davies is worse than both of them though.

Kyle Amor is quite good when he is on The Superleague show.

nobody want any female pundits, apart from Jenna pitchside?
I personally don't think they add much, I know it is the same sport but the differences outweigh the similarities.

They should get James Graham on board if he returns home. He comes across well when he does TV work in Aus.

Other than Angela Powers who else is there? I know there’s Tanya Arnold but I think she’s far more suited to the studio recorded setting of The Super League Show rather than a live setting at a game. The Clare Balding ship has sailed away and although I liked her for the Challenge Cup games on BBC but I’m not convinced she’d be a right fit for SL, and that’s even before you ask whether she would consider it. She’d be good as a guest summariser though.

I liked Clare Balding too, but I agree that ship has probably sailed.

They are both better than Brian”2 - 2 = 100” and phil “Wigan are losing by 80 but have been the better team”
No wonder RL is a joke with them thick idiots at the helm
