Agreed.

Bill Arthur and Phil Clarke would be a decent pairing for SKY with Rod Studd as the touchline reporter. Ditch Eddie, Stevo, Barrie, Terry & Carney and bring in somebody who doesn't stammer like an idiot to analyse the games on Boots N All instead of Cullen and we'll be much better.

How unbelievably pathetic-

Typical Lobby

I've just watched the game back and i thought it was disgraceful. I hadn't seen this thread but after watching the game i would have been shocked if there wasn't a thread about it. Their hatred for Wigan is so blatent. Calling for more penalties fot Stains, calling for Wigan players to be sin-binned, calling for SOL to be put on report for his high shot and then nothing when Wilkin did the exact same thing. The list goes on, it was embarrassing!!

The one thing that got me was this comment

'There is much between the two sides in relation to laying on in the tackle but Saints have been....' he cut himself off before he said that Saints had been pinned for holding down in the tackle more than Wigan, which obviously wasn't the case as we were caned. Watch it back and listen to that comment. It's at the beginning of the second half, somwhere around the time we get the scrum from goulding's offload and meli knocks it into touch.

And Stevo's insightful, unbiased comments,...... we are camped in the Skints 20, with the scousers trying to break out and he comes up with ......"and wigan are playing a superior side on their home turf blah blah blah"

ummmm......... 14-0 up, 2 points ahead in the table, butchers dogs v Stains fat boys......... a Superior side??? - are we watching the same match????

Yarkshire tool

Hillarious !
I can imagine him shouting it now, i hate Eddie he is so unproffessional hes an embarrasment to British RL. And it doenst have to be Wigan playing Saints for him to show his true colours. Stevo isn't the greatest commentator in the world but i can deal with him as he kind of knows what hes saying and can be funny.

Could a petition not be put together and sent to Sky, we hate Eddie.

ATEOTD,,,Doesen*t matter what eddie or Stevo says Wigan won the game and have had a great start to the season.The debate about these two have been going on for years now,,,personally i thought that the comms from the Hull derby were much better....

I loved it when Dean went over on his back: "HE'S SCORED!!!"


...No Eddie you dumb bar stool, he's on his back... and then he knocked out. Wishful thinking. Now go home.

Phil Clarke & Terry O'Connor are OK, they talk about the game rather than the teams. If they think a team is playing well, they will say so. Eddie & Stevo are a joke, however they do bring the passion to the commentary that others don't. I'd rather listen to exciting expressions from Stevo, than average commentary by Dave Woods for example. Ray French is in the same category as Eddie&Stevo.

The worse and most biased piece of commentating yesterday was when Stepho Shouted for Roberts to be sin binned when he took out the Saints player with a shoulder charge.

If i recall it was "Cmon ref send him off" "thats a professional foul". Yet said nothing first half when we broke down the right flank and Roberts got held down. Which often results in a sin bin as its regarded as a professional foul. Also he said that the scrum we won against the head should have been reset as Lockers broke early. He broke early as our front 5 dismantled the saints scrum.

Both are so desperate for Wigan to lose its a joke, and the amount of times he had an orgasm when KC had the ball near our tryline was embarrasing. Great KC has been in the past hes not the force he once was. Though he still a very good player.

Its embarrasing tbh.

I do think it's time for SKY to have a shake up of the commentary team, why not have one main commentator and a different guest summariser each week that should reduce any feeling of biasedness.

Maybe leave Eddie & Stevo to host Boots 'n' All

One other advantage of Wigan entering a new period of power, assuming it happened, would be that Wiggie and Baldie would be forced to endure a long, bleak, painful retirement.

Wiggie could even say: "Bloody hell, it was just like this when I checked in. And now it's the same as I check out!"

They didn't call for Meli to be sin binned when he tripped Roberts up after O'Loughlin went half the length when we won against the feed in the scrum. He should get a ban for tripping when the refs do video analysis of the game.

eddie is a tool .i mute the sound when he opens his trap

It really is about time these two were pensioned off.There are more than enough ex players who are more than capable of commentating and analysing,John Wells spoke well the other week at the game at Quins.Stevo is turning into the new Eddie Wareing,we don't want casual watchers of the game to start getting the wrong impression,all he does is to get people laughing AT him,he and Hemmings have had their day it's time to move on.
