you know otherwise?
Fairly recently tweeted saying "tough game rugby league" (with regards to a french Rl player having his knob partially ripped off during a game), he's had more than a few good words to say about RL but then some think they know people because of x association. He certainly dabbled with league in his younger days though had to keep it on the QT due to the way the RFU meted out punishments.
He also does a rugby league section on his radio show that he co-hosts 'Full Contact', in fact this sunday at 6pm it includes I think Ryan Brierly to talk about the start of the SL season.

Good john wilky last looked out
on the pitch at salford.
when the snow lay round about
deep and crisp and even
brightly played the lads that night
though the frost was cruelllll
when poor swinton scored a try
we had 94urrrrrrrrrr:7891.jpg |

Maybe I'm thinking of the other fella who commentates on yawnion? Stuart Barnes is it? Certainly one of them is so anti-league its untrue. He did nothing, but slate Sam Burgess off when he swapped codes and i also seem to remember him slagging off a State Origin game a few years ago claiming it was boring 
If this wasn't Moore than happy to admit I was wrong, but it was definatley an ex player that now commentates on Union. |

He's a good man, i know that for a fact, but he is a cr@p commentator. |

I think Sky/Radio need to get away from the whole "He's an ex player so he must be a good commentator/summariser" and find people who actually know what they're taking about!

Wasn't it Barnes who came up with that patronising "league is draughts, union is chess" bollix that people unthinkingly parrot as if it's the source of all wisdom? And which begs the question, of course, that if union is such a game of tactical complexity, and league is such a simple game, how come they all want our coaches (and players) ?

Barnes was even in his playing days obese and unfit so wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes in RL. That's why he probably feels the need to slag it off to hide his own inadequacies. As a yawnion player he remained in the shadow of the very ordinary Rob Andrew throughout his career. Not someone whose opinions are worth much.

Sinfield offered nothing last night as a guest- He was dull
Why the BBC use Peacock and Crabtree is beyond me. Neither can string a sentence together.
To be fair Wells, Clarke and Carney are all articulate
Tez needs to get his nose unblocked.

Worry a little bit every day and in a lifetime you will lose a couple of years. If something is wrong, fix it if you can. But train yourself not to worry. Worry never fixes anything.

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |

O'Connor is painful, he doesn't understand that the reason Leigh were 'exciting' in the Championship is because they were a full-time team running through part-time defences.

If you read this Neville, can you look into Sky's position on the ethics of Phil Clarke being allowed to give ridiculous praise and promotion to players who just happen to be contracted clients of his/his brother's company. Raving about Hampshire tonight with comparisons to the great Matty Smith, who both happen to be clients of a certain brother.

I only watched part of the game last evening, but did any of the commentators happen to ask Clarke.... Hey Phil, why isn't Solomona playing for Cas tonight... |
