I could be wrong, but I reckon Sky think that there isn't much potential for UK rugby league beyond what we have now. The best players are increasingly going to the NRL, the salary cap is staying the same, efforts to spread the game to other areas are largely thwarted. Bearing that in mind, why would they spend time and money trying to revamp the commentary team or the way the game is presented? Might as well just keep costs low if they can't increase viewers.

I wouldn't be surprised. As always, we are the architect of our own misfortunes.

Commentary team didn't bother me. I watch for the game really. Funny pat that much interest to what commentators are saying....

I think Grimmy is spot-on, sadly.
