Does he still stand slightly to one side holding the micriphone in a way that flexes his biceps even when he's not talking?

Sorry, can't help with that one, I turn it over whenever he comes on.

Its absolute BABA

I remember hearing that Simmons guy on the mic, blaring loud outside Olympic Park when we played Australia. I would imagine first-time southern spectators have not touched RL since. Horrible voice and personality the game could really do without.

Lock the show up in an impenetrable vault, maybe with Simmons too, and bury it deep within the earth's crust.

I’d save your eyes for something more worthwhile and enjoyable, like bathing them in acid.

Miserable old s alert!

How can you find anything remotely entertaining about it? Unless you laugh at it, and not with it of course.

One thing I don't like about it, is if Alex interviews someone, he asks a question but then always looks into the camera, or off at something else, rather than focus on he is interviewing. Bit amateurish, but there is nothing else!

I find Rugby AM very very amateurish. difficult to watch at times and certainly not a patch on The NRL Footy Show.

Rugby AM might not be everybody's cup of tea and is a little cringeworthy at times, but at least they are doing a show and getting it out on free to air national TV, plus coverage of the NCL. Comparing it to The Footy Show, which has a massive financial budget, is comparing apples to oranges. SKY should be producing a show to compete with The Footy Show, but what are they doing? Naff all since they got rid of Boots n'All.

TBF Boots 'n all was terrible also.

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.."

When Simmonds opens his gob, he certainly removes all doubt. I'd rather have no coverage than comically bad coverage.

Agreed, I actually prefer RugbyAM to the old boots n all, at least on RugbyAM they are passionate about what they do. Boots n all was too much of a corporate studio talk show in suits for a mid week show for me.

Fully Agree!

I don’t mind Rugby Am and think this series has been a massive improvement. As I’ve said before, I’m easily pleased.

I’m quite surprised by some of the comments on here though, some quite snobbish. There is no money and a significant lack of coverage in Rugby League in this country, so I think Rugby AM should be applauded for trying to do something about it. A show about our sport, for the fans by the fans.

And to compare it to The NRL Footy Show is laughable. A show funded by a major broadcaster. Of course, it’s going to be better.

So what if Alex Simmons isn’t the best presenter in the world. At least he’s doing something. And Wagga is mental. Yet he’s like that in real life. Real people. Shock horror. What will people think!

And off the back of Rugby AM this year has been the televising of the NCL games and the War of the Roses which is brilliant for the sport. To be an amateur player and have a chance to play on TV must be unreal.

Bar the SL Show which is really just a highlights show what else is there? For me Rugby AM is doing a great job and can only get better.
