Why isn't there a Jean Capdouze option?

I have chosen William "Bill" Arthur over Brian Carney because of his accent. William has an educated middle class accent which will attract new viewers. Brian Carney's Irish accent might put some people off.

Because Sky refuses to pay my travel expenses from Carcassonne.

Brian McDermott paraphrased Peter Fox.
"He'd say if we had 13 Bernard Dwyers we wouldn't lose many RL games. It's the same for us with JJB"

Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.

'William' Arthur has never done color commentary in his life, do you even watch the sport?

I watch the sport regularly. I have even managed some French players.

William Arthur often does sideline commentary, which could count as "colour" commentary. I am sure that Mr Arthur would slot in just fine as Mr Stephenson's replacement.
