daresay 95% of us would use it!
Sky in NZ used to offer this, it actually is not as engaging as you might think.
As for the commentary teams, I think they’ve probably got it about right to be honest. Matt Russell only gets a look in when someone is away, he’s done two games this weekend. But 3 PbP callers for 8 games feels about right.
I watched a game on clean feed about 10 years ago it was quite strange.
I’ve also seen it at NSW cup level recently and it’s not great but each to their own, it’d be good to sync it up with radio commentary for sure.
I’d say contracts have a lot to do with it as well but having that 4th available so they can call from the ground where possible. That 4th might not be required every weekend but they have a good experienced caller on hand.
I also look at the sideline reporters and there’s a couple of them doing a fair bit of travel across the weekend too.
So who’s filling in for Warren Smith this week with him being at the Masters?
Matt Russell did a game Saturday and Sunday.
As he did last week.
