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
