I agree Rugby AM can sometimes get some decent interviews that are often a bit more informal and relaxed than any that the players or coaches have with Sky or the BBC.

However I agree on the general theme that the shouty Simmonds thing is just annoying. JJB usually manages to put enthusiasm and energy into his interviews without the need to shout or laugh inanely. There's a decent couple of interviews with both McDermott and Hetherington from JJB in the latest episode

Have to agree with everyone's sentiments on Simmonds - he's the ultimate 'clinger on'. But fair play to him, he's managed to make himself a career from it. I personally can't listen to him for a minute - it's ridiculously cringeworthy, but he's getting absolutely everywhere.

On a different, but similar note (and this will probably offend some and come across as a touch heartless so I'll put on my hard hat), but I'm a bit sick of seeing/hearing from Lizzie Jones, she gets where water can't - I'm sure she's rooting someone at Leeds, she's at every game, function and get together.

I absolutely have 100% sympathy for her, admire her massively for what she's doing with the DJ defibrillator Charity (and maybe it is just Leeds being very supportive of her and that charity), but jeez, every time I'm at headingly she's there hovering around like an entitled celeb.

Used to watch Rugby AM, don't bother anymore now,can't stand Simmons

Out of all my family, Rugby AM appeals mostly to my youngest cousin so Alex’s target audience isn’t really us and it seems like his appearances in the Long Bar are misguided. Alex comes from a nightlife background so probably comes across a bit like Ray Von from Phoenix Nights in this sort of setting.

The team has done a good job of bringing about the Rugby Camps for kids plus this Origin Match is brilliant and they have a lot of ambitions in the pipeline.

Shabba!

Rayvon Simmons.

How apt.

I don't mind but when they announced her on Friday as "the First Lady of Rugby League" that was quite cringeworthy.

Hold on tight or you may die

Great line ups. Especially for Yorkshire dentists. Toa Kohe Love's appearance will have them cancelling their summer holidays.

I think it's good that rugby league as a sport is looking after one of its own. If you're going to pay a singer it may as well be a further players widow

Have to agree about shouty Simmons, equally shouty Wagga and mumbling thicko JJB. Woeful to listen to.

Not sure if they're trying to recreate a a UK version of the now way past it's sell by date NRL footy show, bit it's a right pile of shoyte.

Absolutely agree, and I'm very proud of how our sport rally around each other when there is a serious incident or worthy charitable cause - Just an observation that she's always there, at every game, every function, every get together, regardless of whether she's been singing or not.
