Indeed. They've both given a hell of a service to the sport. Both done plenty of charity work for RL too.

Eddie will be a big miss. He's a superb commentator who brought excitement to the sport.

Far too many people get upset if he gets a call wrong (it's not as easy as people think, commentating)

I think Eddie's probably been let down with SKY having far too many voices in the box and Eddie having to spend more time getting them all equally involved rather than calling the game in front of him. It should have just been him and a summariser and it would be so much better. Also I think the products fallen dramatically in the last few years which hasn't helped.

He will be a miss and I wish him a healthy and happy retirement.

Good post,you've got it spot on with him being let down by amateurs at his side, and I think people unfairly lump him with baz, tez, and clarky who are out of their depth and lack his professionalism.

My prayers have been granted. It will be William Arthur to replace Edward Hemmings.

Now the question is: who will call the Catalans Dragons home games? Will it be Roderick Studd?

Also, will Angela Powers get promoted to sideline commentator?

Why do you say that? Were you hoping for the BBC's debonair David Woods? Or were you hoping for rambunctious Roderick Studd?

KR v FC will always be the one that divides a city and the families within


Happens in the Wigan Saints derby too especially in the neighbouring villages like Haydock. The two grounds are 9 miles apart (Hulls are 6) and we are seperated by a hill. Well a street actually and there is plenty of crossover in terms of Wigan post code but St Helens address and vice versa. It is hardly Utd v Liverpool or any of the London games. I know plenty of families that are both sides and there will be plenty of them live this side of the hill and vice versa.

The big giveaway really whether you believe the Earl of Derby or not is that every league match since 1991 and every match since 1994 have been televised. Even in 2005 and 2006 when the result was known well in advance it was still shown on tv. BBC in 05 showed a 75 0 walkover. Why? Because it has by far the biggest draw. Yes perhaps your game would have bigger pull if you were at the right ends of the table year after year but as above even in 2005 we were on tv. If we kicked off at 4am on a Tuesday we would be on tv.

Anyway, back to the topic....Eddie should have gone with Stevo. Been past it years.

Maybe his post was aimed at you.
