| Quote: HamsterChops "I give Mick more stick than most, but none of that stick is related to his commentary. Every time I've listened, I've thought it very good, especially for someone who's essentially an amateur. Sure he has his "traits", but I prefer to listen to him than Eddie Hemmings or that posh bloke doing the Toronto games. It is a big shame if he's sacked it for good.
That said, I understand it's Pete Dutton that is doing the commentary now (whether it's temporary or permanent). I've met Pete once or twice in the amateur game and he's a good bloke. What his commentary is like, I may find out today if I get chance to listen.'"
I played for Pete in amateur and he's a good bloke. Greedy motivator of crap players like me! But still think s lot left to be desired from what I heard today

| I feel that anyone who criticizes Mick's commentary either hasn't heard him commentate or lets his often foolish social media presence cloud their judgement. He was sorely missed on the airwaves yesterday. Pete says the word "certainly" at a rate of about 10 times per minute. That becomes very irritating before long.

| He is a Journalist and sports writer. Getting under peoples feet, digging for information and getting around people to talk is his job. Hobbo as much as he is passionate goes through states of depression, suicide, anger and elation all in 80 minutes!

| Maybe he's just on his holidays? Mick's a decent commentator. He may have put some noses out of joint but if that was the case it wouldn't be through malice, maybe just over-enthusiasm.

| If Pete continues he should "certainly" contribute 10p to BullBuilder everytime he says it!

| I think most commentators can be annoying to be honest. In a fast flowing game like Rugby league, especially on radio, it must be very difficult to avoid dropping into clichés in all the non-stop action. The (I assume) much more highly paid commentators on TV can't avoid it, even when double and tripple crewed and at their much less frenetic pace.

| I agree Bulliac. All RL commentators have some cliches. Some more than others. I have a lot of respect for Ray French but he used to drive me nuts with all his cliches. I can now look back at them with affectionAMATEUR player!"
"He's a big lad he's a strong lad!"
"Has he got the legs to go all the way???"
"This is silly! No NEED for all 26 players to rush in there!"
"He's a real chunky nugget!" (Reserved for Andy Gregory).
"I used to play with his Dad!"
"These boots these days are like carpet slippers!"
Maybe Mick should get a few more cliches of his own?

| Haha, yes I used to like Raymondo - though like a few on the Beeb, he went on about ten years past his sell by date. Though, I have to say, he was nearly as good a comentator as he was player and he was on hell of a player in his pomp. Always get the feeling that TV has to be much easier than radio though.

| Mick is a good commentator,and a keen amateur journo.
He likes the attention of being the go to man for scoops of info .We all know he is often wide of the mark and many times he is so vague he is simply covering all bases to give the illusion of being in the know

| agreed, it's not the same, Mick is a good commentator, fuelled as noted above by being a fan too. Pete will improve though: there was one set against Fax when he hardly mentioned metres gained/ ptb position on field, so you had no idea whether we were struggling to get out of our 20 or threatening the fax line. Hobbo helped out from time to time too the first time they were paired, helping to paint the picture.

Speaking to a friend last night, he saw Mick at the ground on Sunday sat in the side stand with a few other Bulls fans.
