Shaun Wane could be available for 2017 if things don't progress on the trophy front at Wigan

I watch the sport regularly. I have even managed some French players.

William Arthur often does sideline commentary, which could count as "colour" commentary. I am sure that Mr Arthur would slot in just fine as Mr Stephenson's replacement.

Of course if you were actually in France you would be watching on Bein Sports and not know/care about who commentates on Sky.

As for the thread, it should be Wells but I'm sure they will go for even more saturation 'entertainment' from Barrie and Terry while the sport continues to hemorrhage viewers.

Brain Noble & Tony Rea. Remove O'Connor.

Rea was good last week but having an Australian as one of the main commentators would be annoying after a while. Although anyone is better than O'Connor.

Phil Clarke, just to mickey off Wire fans.

Jon Wells, only one who seems to talk any sort of sense about the game

Michael Stephenson is due to retire at the end of this season.

Who would you like to see replace him?

Brian Carney?
Phillip Clarke?
Barrie McDermott?
Terence O'Connor?
Jon Wells?
William Arthur?

You bored Barry ?

Re: Who should replace Michael Stephenson? : Sun Sep 11, 2016 8:11 pm  

Shouldn't it be Jonathan Wells?

Re: Who should replace Michael Stephenson? : Sun Sep 11, 2016 8:23 pm  

Get rid of Wells and O'Connor and have a separate commentary team of Hemmings, Carney and McDermott.

Pre game, half time and full time have John Davies from Sky Sports News along with Phil Clarke and a guest summariser/coach/former player and another guest player.
