Ray can't decide whether to say forward or hooker so opts for a mix of both, live on the BBC....
Absolute classic
I love that one!

| Ray's a great guy, a true ambassador and enthusiast for the sport. Gone on a bit too long as a tv commentator but still better than the 2 comics on sky as he at least attempts to talk about what is happening on the pitch rather than get involved in some petty bias or trivial argument.
Who would you lot have as BBC commentator?

Watching the game again from yesterday, I can't find much fault with Woods and Kear tbh.

Looking at that Kid james Graham has been busy in Yorkshire, needed to see her cry at the end to confirm my suspicions

| when Leeds got the penalty in extra time, Ray came up with the poser "I wonder if he will go for goal?"

| From the points above,I fully agree its far better just to have two in the commentary box,rather than Skys four,where they are all trying to justify their presence,whilst frankly,anybody is better than the rubbish which comes from Stevo - that man is truely damaging RL.

| and how many times a game does he say "the former......" Twice yesterday he reminded us that Ian Kirke was the former York City Knights forward.

| Sadly, Ray French needs to pack in now as a commentator. I'd hate for him to end up like Eddie Wareing, a figure of ridicule, and it's already happening.
He'd be better off used as a pundit, as he's still knowledgeable and passionate, although I do sometimes wonder whether anything that happened after 1990 has actually registered with him.

| He reminds me of a player who goes on too long, drops down a division or two and ruins their legacy.
Phelps had to endure Cameron Phillips for over half a game last time round. It's beyond amateurish and is really dragging the sport down. Can't imagine any other sport would allow this!!?
Sentiment is the reason RL failed to expand geographically and we've still not learned, Axe him immediately for the good of the game.

Even Stephen Hawking had to pause to decide when he was asked the same question.

Motson is just as bad.

Time to give up if he cant tell between the 2 or what he is doing

| My fav Ray French moment was the CC final 89, Kevin IRO scored a try in the corner after about 10 mins, and Ray said, "well that was WANK, errr I mean bad tackling from the Saints."
A classic passage that should be on you tube, Ray is a legend
