  • Tri Series League - Blue collar telly,

    You're quite right, Stacey, I never saw the game. Paddys day and all that.
    I'm pleased to read your review of the game and look forward to this weeks effort.
    Wouldn't hurt to look to Maori TV for the third commentator spot, as long as it goes to someone who can inform us, the veiwing public, then that would be a step in the right direction.

    Aaaarrrgggghhh!! They are back. I was so looking forward to seeing the Warriors again.
    Then last night I swicthed on the TV, had a quick flick through the sports channels. Spotted some league on, great I think, until it cuts back to the studio and there they were Steve & Pete.
    I had forgotten how bad they actually are. The new studio, new ties, same old mince from Pinky & Perky:-(

    GO THE WARRIORS

    Sorry Kate, but Skys league commentators are amateur at best.
    I'm sure Costigan has a book of cliches from which to quote from.
    Peter or Pete Ropati has the cringe meter on overdrive.
    I enjoy watching the Warriors, but, I admit that I really enjoy the TV coverage when they are playing in Aus.
    At least the Aus callers try to educate thier audience, unlike Skys lot who sound like a band of groupies who have somehow sneaked into the commentary box.
