Sky Commentary Team Shake Up : Tue Jan 16, 2024 10:18 am  

Thank the lord, Dave Woods, Kyle Amor and Mark Wilson.

Hopefully the end of Arthur and O'connor. Don't mind McDermott, his knowledge of the grass roots is enough for having him on board. Great news for viewers

Are they actually getting rid of them though? I assumed Woods, Amor and Wilson are additional to cover the extra games.

I'd be happy for Mark Wilson to take up the main commentary position going forward. Bill Arthur seems a nice guy, he's worked in Rugby League for a long time and I always feel harsh criticising a guy like that but he fell in to the role after Hemmings retired and the sport needs the best man for the job.

How refreshing. That combo of Woods and Amor is an absolute cracker.

Amor is always pleasingly honest about what he's seeing.

If it's a pile of kak, he'll call it that.

The whole coverage last night was great. Just a commentator and a summariser. All that was needed.

Carney and Jenna are great. Sam was great.

I know he’s becoming a bit Phil Clarke but I like Wilkin too.

As long as Arthur, Baz and Tez are gone I’ll be happy.

I expected the pundits to say that Wigan would win the comp but was very surprised that the one pundit that did pick Saints was Tomkins.

Good to see that they were all universal as to who they think the MOS would be though....

As for the game, totally one-sided, turned off at HT to watch The Apprentice.

Kyle is like a bit of fresh air,very good.
I dont mind Wilkin he isn't bad.
Jenna (great compare at Wigan last Sunday)/Tomkins/Woods excellent.

Carney,always have had a soft spot for that lad with his comment Question "are you happy Brian" "Yes I am as happy as a rabbit with 2 cocks" he said many years ago on Sky after a game.

Re: Sky Commentary Team Shake Up : Fri Feb 16, 2024 12:10 pm  

Dave Woods is OK, nothing more. But OK is clearly a heck of a lot better than Bill Arthur.

The game was really poor for the most part - at least the cards gave some talking points. I think the depth of quality in SL this year is worrying.

Really can't stand Wilkin he really grates on me, probably more form watching the podcast thing they do, they have a guest on and he talks over them all the time and just spouts of loads of tosh, not too bad on game days but stil looks like he wants the spotlight on him
