He's being replaced by Dave Woods, who is an excellent commentator.
All hail to the gods, it's about time French retired.

| You certainly can't accuse the BBC of ageism in relation to good 'ole Ray.

| At least your dog loves you, Ray
They should give Mick Morgan a call if a commentary gig is up for grabs, he'll certainly make an impression on the viewers.

| Modern game with an antique commentator.
Embarrassing and everything that is wrong about the BBC and Rugby League.
Mind you I'm not that keen on Dave Woods, but he's a vast improvement.

| He has made BBC RL what it is for many years, and it will be a sad day when he does hang up his mic permanently.
Woodsy is a good bloke and is the natural man to take over. Just need a new right hand man to take over from Jonathan Davies.

He certainly has, but not in a good way.

| French and Davies need to learn to listen to each other. They tend to interrupt each other's sentences too much. Both needs to be replaced IMO .
