Interesting points on the Commentary........
To me both are truly awful with the BBC much worse than the already poor Sky. i am Absolutely sick of explaining the rules to neutrals , then a major reffing error is made, commentary doesn't pick it up !!!!!!
Current gang commentate like fans NOT neutrals - always sounds like they want us to lose.
NRL commentary enhances the whole spectacle/experience - even with no/few fans. Rather than viewing Toronto as the biggest issue in town we need to sort this & quick - this is why we aren't valued as a national sport, affects sponsorship etc.
There must be professional commentators,with personality around ? by all means let some of the 'pundits' have a say but they are in it way too much.
We talked about following the NRL model - so why no Captains Challenge ? Our bunker is a pale imitation of the NRL - I know funding is an issue but these issues & better reffing ought to be fundamental to growing our game.
I laughed out loud at a recent bunnies commentary - 'they're everywhere the bunnies, its like they're breeding, they are known for that' . Wit, humour & a willingless to be impartial & honest should be mandatory.
