ahhhh yes.



The good old 'Phipps has hit a raw nerve so i'll accuse him of being Barry Mackenzie' response









How predictable

Wouldn't mind a bit more of Rod Studd, I still treasure his 'Widnes keep shooting themselves in the foot, reloading and trying again' comment.

Sack it all off and start again from scratch. Get one of the presenters from Sky Sports news in the studio, maybe John Davies who did the WC. Get a new commentator in, find places for John Wells, and Brian Carney and maybe look at working with an older or recently retired big name and bring them into the fold.



Have a play caller and one at most two colour commentators, a presenter in the studio with John Wells doing his tactical analysis bit and an ex-player + relevant guest discussing the game.



Have Stevo for Boots n all and his thursday bit where his can keep his passion evident but has a bit longer to think about what he is going to say. Carney continue doing his SL Supermen.

I watch 'ringside' a lot on sky, the boxing magazine programme and its miles better than boots and all.



Eddie and Stevo still commentate with John Davies in the studio untill he gets up to speed with the game then give the commentry role to him instead of Hemmings and get an ex player involved to.



Boots n All is so boring : they should



- have a prank/punked where they prank current SL players

- during a game should interview players when walking back from scoring

- get bands and comedians on boots 'n' all and have a studio audience

- have Brian Carney, Terry, Barry and Wells doing the new boots n all

- have celebrity fans on the show and interview them about why they like RL and thoughts on the game

Midweek shows

Extend Boots n' All so there is more time to fit in both discussion of the issues of the day and have tactical analysis of the previous weeks game or preferably have two seperate shows. One show will have Eddie, Stevo and a rotation of one of the commentary team in a discussion show and the other would have Paul Cullen and Jon Wells going over the tries and key turning points of all of the previous weekends games. Super Leagues Super Men would remain the same.



Live Super League games

Eddie will still have his dual role of presenting and being lead commentator, as nobody else stands out for me. The commentary team will also comprise Phil Clarke, Barry McDermott and Brian Carney, with Bill Arthur on the sidelines and Jon Wells doing the tactical stuff.



Live Championship games

This will remain the same.



Others

Stevo would do all the RL bits on Sky Sports News meaning that there will be no more of the bumbling Offiah, who makes the sunday night round up almost unwatchable.



Replace Cricket AM with Rugby League AM. With Eddie, Stevo, Baz and Terry, Carney, etc there would be enough groaning from bad and corney jokes to convince the missus that you really are ill and can't do all the jobs around the house that you were coereced into promising to do. I would keep the rather delectable Sarah-Jane Mee though. She probably doesn't know anything about RL but with legs like those to wake up to in the morning who cares!

Why not just say you want The Footy Show?

i wouldnt argue with that.

Get Freddie Flintoff in! He was good at the darts

I like it. Playbyplay commentator should be Dave Woods. I like his commentary of the game.

Sid Waddell..................................thought not

Two or three of the darts commentators on Sky actually work in RL and football too, I'd love to see them given a chance of commentating on Sky. I think it's John Gwyne who comes to mind, he works for Soccer Saturday and SSN doing updates. One of the younger fellas at Sky does it too.

Haha John Gwynne the most enthusastic man to commentate on the ongoings at a Stockport vs Dagenham, League 2 soccer game... i admire his enthusiasm

Have you guys forgotten what life was like before Sky? Coverage generally, camera angles in particular was even worse than ITVs coverage of a football Cup Final. Of the current team, Eddies a good 'anchorman', Stevos worth a listen, Phils statistical analysis is unsurpassed, Bill has improved immeasurably over the last year or two, Jons a worthy addition and, lastly, but by no means leastly (?), Barrie, Terry and Rod all are working really well now. So why change a pretty good format. I agree with evolution, not revolution. And anyway, the RL coverage is the main reason I subscribe to Sky.

Eddie, Stevo & Clarkey need the boot, ban Cullen from ever appearing get in Stuart Pyke/John Gwyne to do commentary with Wells and John Davis from Sky Sports News as the anchor with Carney and a guest. (was in the studio for the World Cup and did a great job).

Frasier Dainton presented Wigan's WCC dinner and was pretty good. He always seems quite knowledgeable when reporting on SSN as well. I'd have him presenting in the studio with Stevo and a guest somehow relative to the teams playing.



As commentators I would have a new play-by-play guy alongside Clarkey and either Brian Carney, Baz or Tez with Jon Wells doing analysis and Bill Arthur the in-game reports.



As others have said, Boots n All would show highlights of all 7 games, plus the previous weeks Championship game and would go through the results and news stories from all levels of the game presented by Dainton.
