It's almost as if he's paid to say it....  |

Wasn't he GB coach a few years back??

I cringe watching SL these days... Eddie and Stevo are muppets. SKY's coverage of SL is average to say the best. Whats with the computer 'mechanical arm and big screen' that pops up after each try accompanied by that awful SKY music?
I quite enjoyed BBC's pre game for Saturday, looked a lot more polished and proffesional then SKY. Although their commentators are still not the best, it was far easier to swallow then SKY's over the top and at times amature efforts.

The former St Helens and Widnes amateur?..........

"Can he go all the way?"

Thats what made him great!!
He was THE voice of British RL
We have a bloke in Australia called Ray Warren ... affectionately known as 'Rabbits'...probably a similar age to Ray French
I don't always agree with what he says but he is definately the voice of RL in Oz

I'm a huge fan of Rabs... losing the touch a bit, but his voice is still great.
You're right Barry, Rabs is Rugby League in Aus.

Hearing Rabs on the radio or TV is one of those sounds that you always associate with being home  |

Come and listen to Baby Rabs at the Quins. I think he should have been given the announcers job at the Stoop for Aus v NZ rather than that high pitched cretin from wherever who does tehh internationals and cup finals.

If you're on about the bloke who does the cup final/grand final im almost certain he used to be the announcer every week at warrington years and years ago. Could be wrong but they sound identical.
