Wilkin and Buchanan join sky sports team

[Barney841]

Be interesting if these two can spark up abit of excitement on game day.
Always thought wilkin came across pretty well, not sure sure about Jamie

[fozzieskem]

Wilkin is very good I’ve found as for the other fella he does waffle on a bit.

How are they going to fit them all in?

Hopefully it’s as part of a transition to phase Baz and Tez out when their contracts expire ? Unsure how it all works.

But they aren't ex Wigan players

Saw them on sky sports news this morning previewing the season, was hoping sky was using them as an upgrade on the chuckle brothers, about time sky started treating super league seriously

Playing devils advocate, why should they take it seriously?

Sky aren’t stupid, they know the value of the sport and probably invest money based on that.

Now don’t get me wrong I WANT Sky to take it seriously but they’re a business and probably see it as flogging a dead horse given viewing figures.

Wonder where super league sits vs other sports?

I’m sorry meds but I don’t understand your comment?

[archiekeith]

I've always rated Wilkin both has a player and a game assessor The point Meds makes though true I find confusing. However, Wilkin for me always gives a fair assessment of a game. To be honest I always harboured the hope he would make the short trip over from the dark side of the hill to the promised land. He would have made an excellent captain and who knows ,one day a great coach. He has all the credentials to succeed I believe

The sky team have all played for Wigan except for Wells

[Wigan_forever1985]

Personally i think less is more in commentary teams, sky lot are constantly tripping over eachother trying to make points

I think Carney/Wells/Wilkin are all very good, outside of that Phil is just random most the time and barry and terry like JJB unfortunately are almost caricature versions of a stereotypical northerner and often even if they are making a good point come across sounding dense
