WCC SKY Coverage

Was very impressed with SKY's coverage.The run down on both teams before the game,halftime and general coverage to my way of thinking far outways channel 9.Far more professional allround. (Even allowing for Stevo)

It was very professional, higher level of coverage then channel 9 by a mile.

Fox Sports does well with beating channel 9 in every area of professionalism.

You mean our Sky?? Sky Sports??

You'd take that over Channel 9??

Seriously??

Surely Sterling and Lewis aren't as bad as Hemmings and Stevo...

I believe the thread was started in jest. The coverage was some of the worst, most biased I've ever witnessed.

I always liked skys coverage, but stevo's commentary skills are the only let down. They always make a big effort for the WCC as it rates very highly on Sky sports following on from the sunday arvo game in the EPL.

Sterlo sits out like a beacon, and he is definately the best anaylist going around.But as a whole production,I just think it craps all over 9.

No I thought its way better than channel 9.Better camera angles,better pre game show.Have you listened to Gould,Vautin re biasis?

I haven't seen them call for a penalty try over a marginal holding down too long with a set defensive line... But that's just me.

The production quality may be better, but all of their commentators are terrible.

I agree with the original post.

I'm sick and tired of the foolish boyish banter that occurs between Warren and Gould in particular, and the cross promotional talk.

I'll take Sky (and Fox for that matter) over 9 any day.

I agree. The coverage sh*ts on the crapp that Ch9 dishes up each week.

I didnt think the commentary was to biased Firey..

Absolutely terrible today.

Why anyone could compare Sky to 9 is beyond me... isn't Sky Pay TV? Sky and FOX should be compared. Ch 9 is for the lowest common denominator.

FOX sh*ts on Sky from a great height, for the record. The "Pommentators" were woeful

Like Nein and Sterlo the best bloke on the Sky team is Carney. He knows what he's on about and expresses it well. The others have NFI on both counts. Stevo is embarrassing and Hemmings isn't much better. It would be like having Mario call a game.

Production is outstanding, graphics, intros etc. Commentators are shocking but then we have Warren and Gould so not much in it!

What about Carney, surely you cant' have something against him? He is sky sports best RL asset and they don't use him enough, lively personality and knowledgable about the game in both hemispheres
