This.

With respect I would rather hear Stevo`s comments - having had the audacity to actually score a try against Australia for his Country - than most people on these Forums.

OTOH somebody's got to get the message out, say come on.

Your time here might then be less profitably spent than you would like, since he does not frequent these Forums.

What he said..

Stevo has become a caricature of himself and acts more like a 'shock jock', just out to create the headline. I wouldn't ever knock Stevo for what he's achieved in the game because he was superb, but just like Gary Schofield, he's taken up trying to be the story instead of reporting it.

Sad really, Stevo knows as well as anyone how it rolls in pro sport, and RL is no different from all the others.

I agree with that completely

Also while we are on about Back Chat,Rod Studd is the most annoying tool in the Sky Sports box.

I would say he is a whisker behind Paul Cullen...

Agree don't think he comes across well on backchat. Also agree with above its a toss up between him and Cullen

I don't mind Cullen purely for the fact he's one of the few pundits not constantly up leeds' . He's probably one of the most unbiased.
Stevo is a complete prat who is completely out of touch with the modern game and is indeed a caricature, which I think is completely deliberate. He has no experience of the superleague system from within BUT he certainly knows how to play up for the cameras. I went to his book launch a few years ago - my lad was still quite small -about 3 - and was trying to get the attention of stevo-stevo pointedly ignored him until suddenly -without my permission! He scooped him up off the floor walked away and started chatting away to him all friendly like- I then realised a sky camera had just arrived! I had my youngest in a pushchair and couldn't follow as there were too many people milling round. The minute the camera turned away he put my son down alone in the middle of the floor and walked away without a backward glance!

Stevo isn't the only one ranting about this. There's an article on the sky sports website today where John Kear and Paul Cullen are having a pop. The best bit though is something the person writing the article says:

"Cummins had steered Bradford to four Super League wins this season and, but for a six point deduction for going into administration, the club would be one point away from escaping the relegation zone. However, just hours after Sunday’s 48-16 thrashing at Salford, Cummins was sacked by the Bulls."

For a start, we would be TWO points adrift if we had the points back! But also, how can you make out that 4 wins from 16 is anything to shout about? We have been beaten 12 times this season, conceding a massive 610 points! Don't make out like we would be doing really well but for the point deduction. The players have put in some really poor performances recently and the coach has got to take some responsibility for that. If you ask me, Cummins should have been sacked a long time ago, when it became apparent he wasn't getting on with a lot of the players.

I would also point out that nobody this season expected us to compete and beat the top 4 or top 6 clubs. We were, as supporters expecting us to beat those sides around us, or at the bottom end of the top 8 on the odd good day. We have been soundly thrashed by some of them. These were the very sides we were looking to take points from and therefore secure our survival. That's the bit that hurts. These were the must win games and we blew it big style.

Just watched Tuesdays Back Chat.Numpty Stevo thinks it's disgusting Cummins got sacked because we lost at the weekend.Well I tend to agree if he was getting judged on the game only

What a tit

Pardon me if this has been covered somewhere else, but I've just come back from Mars. Where's Eddie Hemmings?

Don't know for sure but it's rumoured he is undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.
