Tell you what, we know how to bag a fella on these boards. Yeah, course its like listening to your grandad with this "in my day" stuff but personally I don't think he talks any more or less crap than Stevo.

Challenge Cup commentry won't be quite the same without him, though I have to admit it will probably be better, but does he really deserve a character assassination and jubilant flag waving?






If syphilis was good enough for Al Capone, Scott Joplin and Toulouse-Lautrec, it is good enough for Dave Whelan.

Probably not but he has gone on at least 5 years too long and that's being generous.

No problem with Woods but Jonathan Davies should go from commentary as well for me with Brian Carney coming in.

Definitely - Davies talked about Cameron Phillips and called Tommy 'Loo Lie' all the time. His favourite word is 'crooshall' - every move is 'crooshall' and he really needs to get his act together. Brian Carney would do a far better job than him.

I agree completly. He clearly has no time for the game, who wants to listen to

"this guy passes to this fella over here on the winger, and he runs here, does a little dummy and scores the try. This bloke should have tackled him"

I love the part where they ask him about his favourite finals. Surprise surprise they were both Saints wins. He was hardly going to go for 1989 was he? The biased get! :lol:

Thank god. Just need to get rid of Eddie Hemmings now. Kinsella would be a good shout for commentator on Sky, great knowledge of the game.

i also said on friday that at 14-0 up Salford were far from safe so i got one right at least - but
Its all about opinion and
Youre right Bilko i did think Saints would win and am happy to say that Hudds proved me completely wrong ,

you have to take your hat off to the giants - tremendous performance- not many teams could survived that 2nd half onslaught and i hope from their point of view they get the level of support that they deserve

Brett Hodgson - fantastic display - any young Full back out should get a copy of that performance and study it - Masterclass in all aspects
