With regards to Eddie and Stevo, there's nothing wrong with them, sometimes a game can be dull as dishwater and they sometimes have to try and get SOMETHING interesting out of a game. Yeah they can prattle on but i bet every single one of us would have certain things we say ALL of the time without realising it. Theirs just gets picked up on due to length of service. Vossy was a great one off but can you imagine the moaning if we had a full season of his Michael Palin type escapades? Sure it was funny hearing him talking of his pork roll at the Rodney but 16 weeks into a season and that packet of pickled onion crisps in Halifax becomes wearing.
Similarly i see people moaning about Boots and All yet praising The Footy show. They're completely different animals, Boots and All is a RLs new magazine show, The Footy show while entertaining is more like Harry Enfield and Chums than anything. Again, people moan if B&A comes anywhere near doing a skit, but love TFS for it.'"
I know people watching premier sports rave about the coverage on there but if you take a minute to look at the Channel 9 coverage I guarantee folk over here would switch off in their droves if sky sports was similar. Ray Warren is the best caller of sport in the whole world ever, but when he advertises the next episode of the voice or the Block or whatever is channel 9's next big series slap bang in the middle of play it gets a bit much. Imagine Eddie advertising the next episode of Ross kemp on gangs while Chris hill is tearing through the Wigan defence?
And adverts wow thank goodness they don't get shown on Premier sports coverage. when there is any stoppage in play they do like to nip to a quick advert..... they've gone to them straight after a knock on while a scrum is being formed, and then "Rabbits" returns to the commentary with a welcome back to suncorp just as the ball is coming out of the back of the scrum....
And they've only just started getting the hang of instant Replays.... and the commentators talk through minutes silence as well which really gets on my nerves. So not perfect by any means....
