| I agree the margin meter is pointless but I like the analysis sections. I like Wells and Clarke.

Sounds like an accountancy partnership or solicitors!

| The whole team needs an overhaul in my view - Eddie and Stevo have outstayed their welcome by a significant margin and Clarkey, if he can't be professional enough by now to leave his Wigan bias at the door, should also be replaced.
I'd go so far as to say that Eddie and Stevo in particular could be a barrier to attracting new viewers - if we're trying to break out of the stereotype of a colloquial, northern sport, played and supported by thick as mince, salt of the earth types, then they're doing us no favours at all; Stevo in particular has become so slow-witted, that he spends the whole programme either repeating a set of stock phrases or blurting out half-finished, nonsense sentences. I'd like to see Eddie replaced by a woman (Tanya and Clare both come fully formed) and Stevo replaced by John Kear.
I actually quite like the idea of current players being involved - accepting that Tomkins' Sky wages are probably being paid by Wigan in another example of 'off-cap' accounting - but if they expanded that out and used a number of young, articulate players to comment each week, that could also be interesting.
All conjecture and supposition by the way - if it was going to be overhauled, I expect it would have happened in the off-season.

As I said - Tanya Arnold or Clare Balding would both offer significantly more than Eddie; John Kear or Brian Noble would be able Stevo replacements or, if you wanted a total change, Brian Carney.
To the poster who said that Stevo had a new 5 year deal - are you sure about that?!

| Wells & Carney are brilliant additions to the team, Clarke is alright, but i detest his bias commentary whenever Wigan play. Eddie & Stevo for me are outdated and whilst nice fella's really hold back the production.
Eddie would be relatively easy to replace, because you don't necessarily need someone with a rugby background to host and direct the flow of conversation. Someone can quite easily grow into that position and knowledge can be acquired with time.
Stevo, troubling as it may sound, might be harder to replace!!!

| Clare Balding for me is superb her enthusiasum and the way she puts that across is infectious and linked with Robbie Paul or John Kear would be very good.

I don't like Robbie HP; he does his best but much like Stevo, often ends up talking nonsense - some people just aren't mentally agile enough to make off the cuff comments in front of a camera and they end up in a conversational cul-de-sac. Nobby does ok, as does Mr Kear, but I reckon Brian Carney would be a great replacement - he's relatively young, has recent playing experience, is articulate, quite witty and doesn't have either a thick northern accent or a head like a ten bob cauli.
Sorted!

| Detest clarke, eddie and the bald one. Bill Arthur, Angela Powers with Terry O'Connor and Barry McDermott would be good.
