Having to work in the wastelands of stupid accents that is Lancae, I listen to the Pulse most days online and today was the first day they'd essentially swapped the breakfast show with the show after. The lad is a bit annoying but I actually enjoyed the first show today with the new lass, the previous chap was fine - who is on from 10am - but this was a bit more fun.

As for the Bulls announcer, he is an embarrassment.

And Italians?

The way he gabbles at 300 words a minute it's impossible to discern more than one word in three - the way it echoes around the Odsal bowl he may as well have been reciting greek poetry for what it mattered.

Malcolm Lane from a few years back was my favourite; clear, in English, at a proper speed and he said only what was necessary - like the team line-ups....not sure if we had subs to announce back then. Probably not

Them wops are sound

Well if we wished for someone to do the "Bully Bully" song to an early grave. He's your Man!
He is on the embarrassment scale of plus 10 (10 being excruciating) I'm sorry to say, given that the clubs ambassador on the pitch is the PA. We aren't making a favourable impression, as for Steve Long he was singing on the pitch a few weeks back, he was very polished which is what he was when he was our PA!

A lot of our guests are not at all impressed!

Steve Bailey was OK apart from him saying his name every two minutes. Steve Long was good at building the occasion in those heady days of early Super League. Hype is fine if you've got a team and/or a game worth hyping.

Yeah I'm not some killjoy, he can rant and rave all he likes before the match and at half time/full time. But to come on when the game is being played is poor form and make it seem like a bit of a tinpot setup.

Moore and Kear charged www.therfl.co.uk/news/article/30 ... rs-charged Kear has put in an early guilty plea.

So is that Kear out for a match then?

I noticed Stefan Ratchford hasn't been called up when he did an IDENTICAL offence to what Tom Olbison got banned for early in the season, Zak Hardaker needs the book throwing at him if found guilty of homophobic abuse!. No good the RFL trying to send messages out that's its a family game then slapping him with a 3 game ban.

Grade A scale is 'no further action or 1 game' and usually the early guilty plea results in the lower end of the scale being applied so I assume it means he escape without a ban?

Correct. Early guilty plea means minimum penalty for that grade offence. So in this case should be NFA. But kear won't be able use early guilty plea again for 12 months.

I doubt Elliot will be summoned to the RFL for a long time. He's not 'that kind' of player in my opinion.

Moore will get a few matches though, which will help us.

Not overly sure about that.
Historically Richard has had a few trips to the disciplinary but I'm not sure he's been there recently [?]. A bit like the team warning in a game, it seems to be forgotten if you're a 'good lad' for a while.
