I liked Amor when he first started but he talks too much. Half the time not even about the game. He will get stale quickly.

Really can't stand Wilkin he really grates on me, probably more form watching the podcast thing they do, they have a guest on and he talks over them all the time and just spouts of loads of tosh, not too bad on game days but stil looks like he wants the spotlight on him

Agreed

Cant stand Wilkin

Awful - the arrogance is incredibly off putting. Thinks he knows more than he does and thinks he's funnier than he is.

Thank the lord, Dave Woods, Kyle Amor and Mark Wilson.

Hopefully the end of Arthur and O'connor. Don't mind McDermott, his knowledge of the grass roots is enough for having him on board. Great news for viewers

I fully agree, apart from the Barrie Mac bit.

I'd be happy for Mark Wilson to take up the main commentary position going forward. Bill Arthur seems a nice guy, he's worked in Rugby League for a long time and I always feel harsh criticising a guy like that but he fell in to the role after Hemmings retired and the sport needs the best man for the job.

I agree Mark Wilson is the best they have got, hopefully he will supply commentary on the big games.

I’m not so keen on the new multi camera views on the video ref calls. I didn’t know whether I was coming or going with it

I quite liked it at first but it got old and confusing very fast

Who’s watching on bbc today and who’s watching on sky? I’m interested in watching it on bbc to see who’s commentating. Happy with the shake up. Others don’t like Wilkins but I honestly don’t mind him think he makes some good comment sometimes says stuff to be controversial. Tomkins is a natural as well as amour. Like Carney and Jenna. I was flicking between all three last night and I think it was Terry who was commentating on the saints game didn’t listen to it all but regardless hope the get shut and get some better in. Kev Brown has been really good in the past

Think Wilkin gets a really bad press. He’s decent in my opinion.

The whole thing is an improvement on previous years. Not radically better but an improvement, for me.

The BBC commentary team may need a shake-up too.

There was a moment tonight, when one of them actually complimented the Castleford pitch people for their work. Or, that's how it sounded. Yet that was one of the worst playing surfaces I've seen in quite some time.
