Can't stand the tw*t. Put that gumshield back in you moaning little turd.

It wasn't even a good script. When Leeds were short and knocked on, she did her tedious 'i'm watching it live' description, then when decision came up she was like 'Yes, just as we all thought, held up short, scrum to the defence' ...Well no, you might be missing something that happend to make it a scrum to the defence. The whole thing enraged me to be honest.

You're being ridiculously defensive.

I never said it was a prerequisite of a RL player to have a TV personality. But if you're going to be on TV as a guest (or invited to be on TV as some kind of pundit) you expect a bit of enthusiasm. The guy is supposed to give an impression of the sport. As a professional sportsman (and a captain and an international at that) he is going to deal with people and the media a lot.

He needs some media training if he's going to be in the media.

No doubt the people that think it doesn't matter if our players look good in the media are the same people that whinge that we're not in the media enough...

Exactly. It's pretty insulting that they try and pass something off as so obvious despite the fact they've shortened the clip down to cut out minutes of reviewing and on top of that they already know the result. Despite this, they've still managed to mess up in the past! I remember seeing the BBC give Stanley Gene a try last year after the video replay even though it got disallowed! It's just lazy.

Rob Burrow is great when he is on!

sorry but you are all missing the point.......

t'lovely Kevin Sinfield was on because he is a stunning bit of eye-candy and very pleased I was to see him looking gorgeous as ever too......

quite made my night.......

by t'way.....he will also be looking gorgeous at Old Tafford in October when he lifts that trophy again.......

glad to be of help.

Who was the female commentator ? Was it Tanya Arnold by any chance ?

i dont know why i bothered watching the rovers v leeds highlights all it was,was leeds leeds leeds leeds leeds rovers try leeds leeds leeds leeds rovers try leeds leeds leeds leeds leeds rovers try etc the way it was edited was as though leeds was the much better team with all the ball control total rubish

That comes with success, it would be all Rovers if they'd won 3 titles in a row. We warrant it.

Who really cares? Hes a rugby player first and foremost. Plus, when it matters, ie when being interviewed after winning the grand final he always comes across as a smashing bloke with lots of interesting things to say.

So you warrant still been the BBC's darlings even after been totally outplayed? Strange.

I've got my south stand intelligence head on today so you will have to explain your post!!!

I can't relate Wigan playing in the challenge cup to winning 4 grand finals!

What's strange is that even in victory Rovers fans seem to find more things to moan about than celebrate - if it's not Leeds being the only team in the league to ever throw a forward pass it's Sinfield buying his defence some time by clarifying a decision or the quality of the BBC coverage of the game.

I know life is miserable in East Hull, so I'd have expected you to grab these little rays of sunlight and hold onto them as long as you can.

Still, at least this thread hasn't turned into an incestuous East Yorkshire bitchfight yet...

Yes, Leeds are the masters of peaking at the right time in the Challenge Cup.
