It's the first time I've heard the new commentator, and other than the manc accent, I've been impressed.

Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.

Me neither, Sky are obsessed by doing the 'right thing'. It's better to have a player who knows about the actual physicality of the men's game. An ex BARLA player would have been better than the woman who was on the Hull v Hull KR game.

Well having now watched the game back I thought she was alright. Not fantastic, but alright.

Did she offer me any great insight or make interesting points that I hadn't already thought about? Well no. But she was articulate and seemed knowledgeable enough. She was an improvement on Barry and Terry imo (I think they call that damning with faint praise).

I am happy for her to stick around and we can see how she goes when she gets a bit more comfortable in the role. She wasn't out of place. Don't really understand the comments saying she was rubbish.

Same here. She wasn’t amazing but certainly was no worse than most of the men on there who constantly come out with ridiculous platitudes and cliched rubbish.

Not big on Sky sticking women in for the sake of it like they are doing in football, but the female commentator yesterday was not bad at all and tbf a big improvement on the likes of dumb and dumber and Phil 'turtle neck' Clarke.

The woman who did the post match interviews for the Hull derby was Australian. She was, as you would expect, excellent.
