Re: Finally given up on Sky (commentary) : Sat Feb 17, 2018 9:10 am  
“The” is starting to filter from Eddie to everyone else now. Warrington are not called that anymore according to Sky they are called “The Warrington club”... “The Widnes club”... “The Catalans”... “The Saints”... “The Wigan club”... The whole commentary team were at it last night.

The names of the players will be next; “here’s The Ben Currie, he passes to The Stefan Ratchford, he runs around The Widnes club’s players and scores a The Try!”

I wouldn’t mind but our actual nickname “The Wire” is NEVER used! The only club in SL with a name started with “The...” which is on the club badge and they don’t call is that. But call everything and everyone else “The...”

The only good but of insightful and intelligent talk is with Carney and Wells (sorry, “The Carney” and “The Wells”) and last night we didn’t get even a snippet of either pre or post-game!

The Sky don’t give a poop about Super League!

I wouldn’t be surprised to see, when this current deal is up, all SL games on Premier Sports and Sky having three NRL games on a weekend with no SL other than All The Tries for 30minutes once a week.

Why was O Connor repeatedly calling the Widnes centre Ninu? It was like a throw back to Robin Williams comedy days of the 80's.

We put this festival on you ba****ds
With whole lotta love
We worked for one year for you pigs
And you wanna break our walls down
And you wanna destroy
Well you go to hell

Here is a combination that I could accept: Eddie Hemmings, Anthony Rea (aka "Tony Ray"), Brian Carney, Jonathan Wells.

I watched the Wigan game this morning... goodeness what a contrast in the commentary between that and sky. It was interesting, informative and delivered at a nice pace and volume (not shouted inanity). Please Sky, get some of these guys over for a while to show your budding commentators (if you have any) how it should be done.
