| Quote Cruncher="Cruncher"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.'"
Lol glad you got the point Cruncher.
And David Doyle-Davidson If that’s who your disrespectful post is aimed at, was a player, and coach, who has represented rugby league all his life, and a fine ambassador to our great game. I’m sure even in the autumn of his life, DDD would still accommodate you behind the bike sheds to discuss your views.
As an aside DDD would certainly liven up this terrible bland commentary we are suffering presently on Sky.

Am I reading this right? Your defence of him not being a prat is "he would probably beat you up for your opinion". Really? That's where we are with this? Good to see the art of good debate isn't dead.

Calling a guy a prat or an idiot behind your keyboard is hardly good debate.

Yeah, but if that's what they are ...
Don't worry, you're not the first person to try the 'I bet he could still batter you' piffle. You may be right, you may not. Neither of us will ever know.

| Quote Riderofthepalehorse="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.

Hardly neutral though is it? I'm willing to bet wish FM didnt see much wrong. If a neutral former player on a neutral radio station says it then it may be worth paying attention to. If a former KR player on a KR radio station says KR were hard done too I'm not going to pay it much heed.

And you think your "my dad's bigger than yours" approach redressed that, do you?

It is that simple. It will be reviewed and if necessary taken to the tribunal (all of whom are =#FF0000independent) Now as fans with our whatever coloured specs on we may not see it that way.
At the game yesterday I thought it was an poor tackle and I'm quite willing to let the disciplinary have look and will go with their findings. They are far more experienced with this than you or I.

Can’t argue with that, incidentally Rogues, my specs are black and white, so hardly biased

| I also thought it was a bad one at the game. Despite the online furore, having seen the video I can understand why no action was taken on the day. It's clear that the direction of impact was with the natural bend of the knee and had he come in slower to get a squeeze on the legs u doubt anything would have been said. Coming in at the pace he did though was reckless and will probably pick up a ban. Not the worst I've seen by any stretch but he did punch someone 6 years ago so probably deserves 10 games or something..
