| The 'commentary' by Stevo is getting worse year on year unfortunately. If Neville Smith really wants to keep his old pal in a job then surely they need to be looking at reducing his air time. Alongside Eddie there should be someone knowledgeable who understands the game who will point out something that the average fan might have missed.
I've long wanted a 'no commentary' option so that the crowd noise isn't lost. God knows why Sky refuse to do it, they must actually believe that people enjoy listening to Stevo and Eddie.. crazy.

| Just need to media train some players, which i know super league now are training youngsters for life after rugby. But like simple coaching points that Eddie and stevo clearly miss, if anything Eddie spots and understands more about the modern game than the lacklustre pointless commentary that Stevo provides. He really doesnt understand the game at all. Like somebody has said he only focuses on refereeing decisions and is often wrong with video ref decision which clearly demonstrates his knowledge of the game is not the best.
But maybe an alternate commentary team is a good idea, but definitely cut his air time and give some ex players more chance to analysis the game, and also stop Phil 'Stat Man' Clarke giving useless points

| Agree with the comments about Stevo, but I tend not to mind as much about him than Eddie. He is the least partisan of the lot, apart from favouring Yorkshire sides in general, which is no bad thing.
Perhaps this is deliberate to encourage debate, but Eddie often makes statements that I would expect from a 10-year old or someone who has only watched the game for a few matches. He also gets far too excited about Warrington (and latterly Saints) to a sickening degree, and seems to be getting the names of players wrong a lot more often (although a way to go before he meets the Ray French gold standard). I know Kevin and Lee Penny both played for Warrington, but getting them confused is pretty laughable.
As for the others, I still like Phil Clarke and enjoy his statistical analysis when it doesn't get too meaningless (e.g. do you know Eddeh, Wigan score more tries on the fourth tackle than any other side in SL). The Wigan bias is irritating but he seems to have calmed down since they won the GF. He's at his worst when Wigan aren't playing and just starts to go off on a tangent about them etc.
Carney and to a lesser extent McDermott are both very good.
O'Connor is just one ex-Wiganer too many. Wells is better but is also a tad boring. Bill Arthur was appalling at Millennium Magic, although he'd be fine if he stuck to the commentary and didn't try and tell jokes.

| Just watching the Cas Dragons game and Stevo is just showing is inept knowledge and over opinionated commentary. He is frustrating to watch and spoils the enjoyment of the game in a way.
Sky really need to have a think about revamping the commentary team or like someone mentioned earlier offer a alternate commentary
