I reckon 40-50k a year

.... less than Gary Lineker (or Alan Shearer), then.

That’s quite a good pay packet, it’s funny how after Eddy & Stevo we all wondered who would take over, and yet no one, or two, seem to have. Phil is an odd character, he seems aloof from the others, I think I remember when he was a player at Wigan, he was following a graduate course of some kind.



Tez & Baz are both ex Wigan, who sort of blend as a poor mans Lancashire comedy duo, Morecambe & Morecambe.



Ginger Wells, seems to be struggling with the demise of Cas we’re he is Director of footy, perhaps not having played for Wigan on his CV makes him an outsider.



Any Hull possibilities on Sky, think the great Lee Crooks was one in the running, and of course camera loving Wilkin is always crouching behind a seat in an empty stadium, looking for any opportunity to get recognition.

And that is the lopsided travesty of it all, millionaires, retired, then paid even more millions for spouting about the most simplistic of games.

Haha I’m only guessing, could be less. I’ve been saying for ages, sky need a commentator that does radio rugby league, finally did with that mark wilson, but you could tell Barrie and terry didn’t like it, because they struggled to talk all the way through the game.

It’s funny on the radio as well, I listen to Dave Burns and Swanny and I find them very flat and boring, that was flat, yet Rich Stead seems to liven the matches up, all opinions of course.

Tezza after Castleford's first try: "There was a bit of a push and shovel".

That’s exactly what sky’s missing, a commentator who makes a game exciting, NRL do it so good, Andrew Voss been the master

Was it that game, when we didn’t even see a try because was talking to clarky pitch side!!

Not Gwylum though





What’s happened to him.

Yes they were ironing Phils cravat.

I'm sure I heard that a few years back, when McRae was here and appeared as a pundit in the studio at virtually every SKY match, that he got around £500 each time for doing it, as well as picked up by SKY and driven home. Not bad, seen as though he was doing 2 a week!
