Terry Crook on radio (he has a bit of Trin bias as well, which is an excellent trait icon_biggrin.gif )
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.

icon_biggrin.gif 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

http://flightsandfrustration.com/ It is "Fifita" not "Fafita" If you don't know the difference between "there", "their" and "they're" I might get annoyed.

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)

Irony, or comedy genius?!

I fell for Vossy during the WC, but if you listen to him every week in the NRL, he's prone to the same over-analysis of refereeing decisions that obsesses Eddie - it puts a negative slant on things and is unnecessary in my view. Unlike Eddie however, he's a naturally funny and likeable bloke, so he grates less.

Ray Warren is great - partly because of his history with, and knowledge of, the game; he has yet to become a cliché machine like Stevo and appears to still be in possession of all his faculties, which is a big bonus.

Over here, Brian Carney is the best we have by a country mile - he should replace Eddie, with Jon Wells taking over from Stevo. The co-commentary roles could be filled by some players with recent experience - and I'd like to see that freshened up; the usual suspects are becoming dull. And on that note - maybe it's time to ditch the robots and refresh the programme presentation?

I was being sarcastic. The man only shows his face for the dollar. Learning or even reading the players names off a piece of paper might help him along the way.

Eddie Waring for me. ( tongue firmly in cheek) Came up with absolute gems but the most poignant moment for me was after Don Fox missed THE conversion at Wembley against Leeds
Seriously I like Andy Kelly on the radio but it's Carney and Wells for me on sky

My favourite gaff of Eddie Waring's was during a match from Headingly one windy Saturday afternoon. It went something like this: "Oh Dear! He's dropped the ball. (pause) Oh no, he hasn't. It's a white carrier bag!" Good old Eddie.
I also agree that Ray French was cringe worthy and seemed to concentrate on previous clubs that players had played for.
