Sky in France : Sun Sep 04, 2016 10:12 am
Having watched several games in France this season on Sky, I get the distinct impression that no membersof the Sky RL team are actually at the game. I think the commentary team are watching the game on a big
screen somewhere in the UK.
Seems to me that when Sky decided to cut their costs on RL by killing-off Boots n All and introducing all the
silly tweeting options instead, they also decided to save on plane fares to France too.
I think the way that Sky have cut the air-time from one minute before kickoff to 1 minute after final whistle is
another indication of their minimal commitment to RL.
Announcing the teams during game-time is pathetic.
Adding to this the lack of professionalism and impartiality of the Sky commentary team, I think their commitment
to our game is blatantly clear.
People on this site have, and still are, complaining bitterly about the commentary quality. In my opinion only
Phil Clark and Brian Carney could be retained in an otherwise total cull of the team. Stevo is a passionate fool.
Hemmings is the modern day Eddy Waring and the McDermot duo is childish farce.
Could anyone advise how long the current Sky contract has to run ? I suppose what follows could be conceivably
worse, but to be honest, I don't see how..
