Agreed. Woods is horrendous and the only commentator I find myself unable to listen to.

He can't help how he talks though.

I'm guessing you possibly have a Hull accent. Maybe a lot of people would find that annoying too. Maybe people felt like smashing the TV when Eddie Waring used to start shouting 'et's an ooooop und ooooooooonder' or whatever it was he used to say. Maybe people feel like seeing if theres subtitles when Brian Carney opens his mouth. Maybe when you stick the telly on and see old one eyed Barry McDermott sitting there you quietly curse under your breath and go and make a cuppa.

The fact is though that Jonathan Davies was a great RU player, a great RL player and he is a very knowledgeable about the sport.

Australians have quite a bit of respect for Jiffy.

He was a wonderful rugby league player and continues to help the game. This is far more than can be said for the likes of Edwards and co.

Why oh why oh why oh why oh why oh why oh why oh why duzzen ee kick it?

he always sounds as if he isnt enjoying the game .give me john kear any day of the week.a true expert!!

Guess again bud,try North Lincolnshire.


I know he can`t help how he talks, it just annoys me,thats all,doesn`t have to apply to other people who listen to him.

But kear can't remember anyones name!

We had carl hall playing for us a few weeks back acording to kear.
Though Jd did ok to be honest. I like the been comentary more now him and French appear to have been split up.

Had to laugh when Kear called Ray French Eddie in commentary today

So still with a grating accent then?

I had to reduce the volume in yesterdays game at Wakefield.Woods was orgasmic as the game went into extra time saying he had never before seen anything like it,as if it were something from another world.It was just a game of RL gone past the standard 80 minutes FFS.I haven't yet watched today's game.Did Ray say ''iz ee in,no ee iznt,yess ee iz''?

is there a Comedy sketch show to be had using Rugby League commentators as main characters?..I think it could be quite funny!

Jonathan Davies is a pretty fantastic commentator. He knows both codes so well and can actually offer quite a bit of intelligent discussion on both. I really wish he would become a coach. He could have so much to offer teams. If any of you watch union, he knows the game inside out, and is getting pretty disgruntled by how the game is going.
