Sky ought to throw the cheque book at Adam Hills and Helen Skelton. Two fresh faces who don't make it all about themselves like the current clowns at sky.

I'd be much more interested in Bill Arthur leaving Sky.

Find a commentator who can actually string a sentence together.

Well the money Sky saved on the new deal we should chuck some money at Andrew Voss or any of the Aussie commentators. Listening to the NRL games is so much better than what is served up over here. Wonder if I can get a discount from Sky with having my TV muted most of the time with RFL games.

I think Sky care very little for the game or coverage now

Hills and Skelton already have celebrity status and talk our game up, unlike the Sky muppets who are an embarrassment to our sport.

Exactly! It's not all about themselves and their stupid claims (Clarke) or OTT hyperbole (any of the rest) or trying to sound intelligent but looking ridiculous (JJB). They just love RL and promote it as fans.

Yep, Bill would be the first to go in my mind. Followed by Baz and Tez, nothing worse than when they giggle at inside jokes together.

I thought Phil was okay, he would make good points and not just stock answers but can see why none Wigan fans would be annoyed by him.

Baz and Tez were my type of players but their coverage is puerile. I don't see why we have to make it an attempt at matey comedy. Bill Arthur and JJB have speech impediments.
