Please can you take Martin Offiah and put him out of my misery.
After five weeks he has still not learned that he can make notes in advance to read while we are watching the highlights. Instead we have five minutes of live television spent showing his thought processes as he tries to remember who Warrington played last week.
Surely there must be someone else able to get down to Isleworth on a Sunday evening? This slot has turned into an embarrassment to himself, to your presenters, to the game, and to me for tuning in every week.

I'm not totally sure about that. At one point, he did seem to be frantically searching for something and, perhaps naïvely, I assumed that 'thing' was his notes. That would mean, though, that he either writes notes with plenty of fillers or he's a very poor reader.
Either way, just as bad as his inability to speak is his complete lack of touch with/knowledge of the modern game. A replacement is sorely needed, although I'm struggling to think of a London-based 'expert' with a high enough profile.

Can't understand why both them and the BBC persist in employing Union based people to review our game.

Worse than Offiah, why only show half of our tries from Saturday? Have Sky Sports News really got such a packed schedule? Play longer VT and give Offiah time to think about what he wants to say and then he can say it in a less rushed way, possibly getting the words in the right order.
Oh, and also maybe then we'll get more than one sentence on the performance of the weekend!
