| Quote UllFC="UllFC"[uIt's a mixed bag on SKY for me, I think Genna is great always lively and having an Australian lady on screen breaks up the old British men vibe.
Brian Carney still has things to learn as a presenter but an Irish voice again adds something a bit different to the coverage.[/u
I respect JJB for his career but he just can't speak clearly enough and needs to go.
Barry and Terry are now from another era, it's not far off 20 years since they played and they reneforce a northern game for northern people stereotype.
Overall my biggest annoyance is they try and overhype every game or issue, I know for obvious reasons they can't be honest and say about 3 teams have a chance of winning SL and the rest are making the numbers up...but theres a middle ground between that and making the battle for 6th sound like the Super Bowl.'"
Agreed. I can't stomach the build up to the game. I just switch on at the beginning to get a news update from Jenna, then switch off until kick off. During the game, Mark Wilson has been good at commentating, but the rest are dreadful.

| People wanting Eddie and stevo out was one of the biggest Careful what you wish for I've ever seen
Since they left the commentary is awful and seen more exciting voices in a graveyard than the lot who took over

| I think people are forgetting what it was like before Sky. Pushing them out is the last thing we need.
My only real problem is that they linger on referee decisions too long. C4 don't do that. It happened, they comment and then move on.
I'm not keen on the new commentary but I'm happy with the team in the box.
Personally I'd lose O'connor but I would keep McDermott. I like his comments. He's funny and comments on links to things outside the immediate game like youth systems etc.
Carney is the jewel to me. Needs to stay in his role.
I really like C4.....but why does it need to be replacing things on Sky. Two companies competing is great for RL. We need to back c4 by watching all the matches no matter who is on.

Quote The Ghost of '99="The Ghost of '99"I don't think you misread it. I think your mistake was in reading anything on SARL.
According to RLonTV Sky have first choice (Friday) games, C4 the second choice (Sunday) games.

There's no indication there will be any simulcasting.'"
So it appears that Sky will simulcast the Huddersfield play off game after all. Can't see much reason for watching them over C4 tbh.

| Binned sky after 20 odd years admittedly the cost of living had some say but I could no longer stand listening to the cast especially, the scarecrow (wells) bungling bill (Arthur) can't understand a word (Pyke) boring (O'connor) No Minerals (w ank*r Wilkin) oh and the sky sports table that wobbles everytime Carney leans on it, I just want to put a beer mat under it, 10 pence production !
Channel 4 it is.

| There is an urgent need to sort out the Sky coverage, I hope IMG can encourage them in the right direction:
Bill Arthur: no, just not good enough to be the lead commentator, sorry. Can anyone recall one memorable piece of commentary from him?
Terry & Barrie: tried, and failed, to be Stevo replacements. But they've got to go.
These are the biggest problems. Clarke can go for me too but he's at least coherent.
Most of the rest are ok: Carney is fine as presenter, Wells is the best of the bunch, Brooks is good for sideline stuff, Wilkin is ok I suppose (but should be kept away from St Helens games).

| I too have binned off sky. The only thing I watched on sky sports was the rugby- and I can’t justify the cost to listen to that biased clueless bunch of pr*cks any longer.
Sick of seeing the same teams, and listening to the same sycophantic drivel.
I go to watch my own team play- and if I want to watch the game back can access it via my club for an annual fee a fraction of the cost of what I was paying sky.
Anything else I’m really not interested in any longer. Well done RFL /superleague you’ve downgraded the game to that level.
Channel 4 have done a much better job all round. All they need to do now is get a regular weekly slot and they’ve cracked it!
