Absolutely agree about Simmonds.
His loutish shoutish style just gets up my nose and makes half time unbearable.
Bring in a professional announcer with a rugby league interest and bias.
I also agree about the birthday messages. If it was for me, I would be so disappointed. If the sound / pronunciation is that bad and can't be improved, then maybe e mailing an av file would be better. More likely to hit the target. Imagine a kids horror if he missed it having nipped out for a pee or a drink.

The current Leeds pack are not as quick as your retired players.

That`s not far off the truth there mate.
JP did a fair few minutes, Lowes was very productive at acting half back and Kylie put in more big hits in the game last night than the whole pack have done all year.

I'll just throw this out there.

Paul Wellens was absolutely head and shoulders above everyone for mine and should have been man of the match regardless.

It was quite funny on Rugby AM earlier as JJB made a play to the cameras encouraging people to get down to the game. Their editing leaves something to be desired; how did that make the final cut, being broadcast a week after the game?!

Saw it earlier, they couldn't show the post match interviews they did that took place on the pitch because the clips didn't pick up any sound. Quite an own goal there and Simmonds looked genuinely gutted when explaining why they couldn't show them.
