All this talk of Wiggy and Stevo etc and Perhaps this may be for the more Long in the tooth Trinity fan, but who would you say has been the best RL commentator/ pundit on radio or tv over the last 50 years?

Further to my original post, I would say that in my opinion, Keith Macklin would be a contender.

Dave Wandless and Ian Brooke were very good when they did it for the club.
All Time best is Darryl Eastlake IMO
Best out there at the moment is
England : Woods
Australia : Voss
NZ: dunno maybe Freeman

| Terry Crook on radio (he has a bit of Trin bias as well, which is an excellent trait  )
Voss in the RLWC was a breath of fresh air and Ray French a few years back was excellent. |

Voss I agree, French OMG!
Terry is a great bloke and good on radio but it's a big leap to presenting prime time tv.

Love it!
I absolutely love Ray Warren, and I also really like the more relaxed approach that some/most Aussie commentators bring. I also really like their use of recent players, Lockyer, Brett Kimmorley, Joey Johns etc....
On Sky, I think I go by the same principles, I like Brian Carney and Jon Wells, and I actually enjoy the daft interplay between Barrie Mac and Terry O'Connor |

For me all Ray French ever did was made me cringe. I could always see bias amongst his mumblings and he was prone to a lot of errors in his commentatory. I was glad to see him retire but still cringe now when he does those half time segments talking of the history of the Challenge Cup.
Not sure who I could say has stood out as the best for me in the UK. I'm quite content listening to Barrie Mac, Jon Wells and Brian Carney.

Are you serious ?
As a player he was superb (both codes) and I agree about his knowledge of the game but, as a commentator he just uses the word "simple" to explain every move or score.
I've nothing against the Welsh but, his accent just grates.
If he's commentating, I turn the volume off.
If him and Stevo are the only 2 options, I would stick with Stevo, (still on mute though) |
