Quote: Riderofthepalehorse "If only if it were that simple Rogues, Radio Humberside sports reporter Nick Pinkney made numerous damming comments regarding tackles by Wigan live on air, when ex players offer up statements like these, it’s then highlighted even more. Bad tackle in my opinion.'"
Would that be the same Radio Humberside who back in the 1990s employed some prat of a commentator with a double-barrelled surname who used to scream with excitement every time Hull FC were on the ball, punctuating his commentary with shouts of 'get em onside!', 'what about that, ref!' and 'forward!' Employed by the BBC and he made Mick Morgan sound neutral.
You'll have to forgive me if I don't take anything idiots like this say too seriously.
But I also take the point. It makes it harder for the Disciplinary to give an even-handed response.
