| Should sky try and agree the services of Vossy or do we have to stick with the three stooges (Eddie, Stevo and Clarke).
Think Voss and Carney are the future with a special guest each week, and also to try and bring some fun to the games, by now we all have a grasp of the rules even those who only watch occasionally, give them 30mins pre and 30mins post game let them have fun, would love to see some of the "footy show" added to our TV games.

Sky pay ₤19 million a year for ESL....they will do with as they please and as a change of Commentators will not add value to them or their advertisers......they will continue with what they have....for now......

OK, but why Phil Clarke as well?
His graphics are unintelligible, his comments are banal. He belongs at a sideshow at a circus.
The imposition of Phil Clarke on Sky viewers of Super League is a form of mental torture.

| I much prefer the idea of split commentary teams per game, rather than just have 1 set of commentators, have 1 for each game, and even more options maybe.
1 Set of people commenting all season on the games is neither any good or very interesting, i'm sure that Eddie would perhaps feel more invigourated if he was just doing one a weekend and could sit and listen to other commentators instead occasionally.

Totally agree.
The main problem with Eddie and Stevo, is that they cover every game and because of this they become predictable and a little stagnant and even though Vossy was superb and a breath of fresh air, even he would become "boring" over such a long period of time and covering top flight RL 3-4 times a week.
Sky should rotate their commentary team and bring in current players to freshen up the production.

Fine as long as it isn't Wilkin every time Saints aren't playing.

| I am getting a bit bored of all the drooling over Vossy now, he is actually very similar in style to Stevo. If some of the things he has said during the RLWC came out of Stephenson's mouth, there would be endless pages on here calling for his head.

| Has anyone stopped to consider one fairly important question.... does Vossy actually want to stay in the UK?

| Phil Clarke needs to go, I don't think anyone would disagree with that.
I like everyone else.

Very much doubt it. A great natural commentator is just that, he should be on each and every game until he loses his mojo. Nobody to touch that lad at the moment.
Who was the RU guy I wish we could have had - Bill McLaren? He could make London Romanians v Penge in a mudbath sound like the biggest event you ever witnessed. Or Motty, brian Moore, Ken Wolstenholme. Sid Waddell. Peter O'Sullevan. John Arlott. Peter Alliss. None of them could basically do wrong, because they knew their game, clearly loved it, and communicated that intelligently and consistently to their audience.
If you don't have someone oustanding, by all means mix it up. If you do - stick. And big rap for Nobby as no.2 commentator, a perfect foil to Vossy's brilliance.

It's not very important though, is it? It's hardly even slightly important. And I say that as a commentator.
