Eddie Hemmings was making a fair few mistakes as he approached retirement, but my god Bill Arthur is taking it to another level. Getting players mixed up, mispronouncing names, he can't even read the clock properly?

When McCrone was sin binned in that Leeds game, Arthur exclaims that he's been sent to the bin for the last three seconds of the game - but there was over a full minute left? wtf?

Awful. Just awful.

i find the whole thing stale and annoying, has been for a few years now. Baz and Tez bring nothing to the party same old sound bites over and over. it really needs an overhaul.

Cliche after cliche, just so poor

He's not bad though when it comes to repeatedly telling us about how many injured players are out of the teams he's commentating on, just boring

I think Tez has been told to spurt out meaningless stats to make up for his lack of intelligence.

Either that or to make the others look intelligent.

I agree, as a proud Yorkshireman I can still appreciate that our accents do grate on some peoples ears. There must be professional commentators whit a pleasing tone of voice? I also remember a quote from the tennis commentator Dan Maskel “ some times the best thing to say is nothing” its TV we can all see what is happening just the odd interesting stat or explanation of of some decisions is all that’s needed. There are some good broadcasters out there & they don’t need to have a great knowledge of the sport to enhance the pictures we are seeing.

Get Mick Morgan on, at least it’ll be entertaining.

Those of us of a certain age look back fondly to Bill McLaren, possibly the best ever commentator. Yes it was RU but I wish we had someone of his ability and stature instead of the current crop.

Then good old RL family. Any excuse to have a moan.

TBF - It looks like we are doing things slowly by getting rid of Stuart Cummins, and Angela Powers being replaced by Jenna Brooks. Those 2 changes have made an improvement in my view. However, the cull must continue with the commies.

Bill Arthur is embarrassingly bad.

I muted it last night - I have never muted any other sport other than RL, but have done so with RL (which I love) on several occassions.
