Definitely - Davies talked about Cameron Phillips and called Tommy 'Loo Lie' all the time. His favourite word is 'crooshall' - every move is 'crooshall' and he really needs to get his act together. Brian Carney would do a far better job than him.

I agree completly. He clearly has no time for the game, who wants to listen to

"this guy passes to this fella over here on the winger, and he runs here, does a little dummy and scores the try. This bloke should have tackled him"

I love the part where they ask him about his favourite finals. Surprise surprise they were both Saints wins. He was hardly going to go for 1989 was he? The biased get!

Thank god. Just need to get rid of Eddie Hemmings now. Kinsella would be a good shout for commentator on Sky, great knowledge of the game.

Although he did write Huddersfield's chances in the cup semi off completly on Radio Manchester Friday Night.

i also said on friday that at 14-0 up Salford were far from safe so i got one right at least - but
Its all about opinion and
Youre right Bilko i did think Saints would win and am happy to say that Hudds proved me completely wrong ,

you have to take your hat off to the giants - tremendous performance- not many teams could survived that 2nd half onslaught and i hope from their point of view they get the level of support that they deserve

Brett Hodgson - fantastic display - any young Full back out should get a copy of that performance and study it - Masterclass in all aspects

Nailing our colours to the mast are we?

No , just saying im happy to be proved wrong by a side who put in a top class display,

ive never had an affiliation with any club - i keep telling people that but so far ive been told i support at least 4 different current SL clubs plus Widnes from the Championship

Should be a great occasion in 3 weeks time and its fantastic for both clubs - and this time i will sit on the fence as to who will win on the day

Im gonna miss big ray, he is useless, but he does make me laugh.

However was anyone else as confused as me at Nobby trying to explain the obstruction/crossing rule. I knew the rule before he started and still didnt get what he was talking about lol.

However that may explain a few things!

...and as the sun comes out of the clouds, warmer.. stronger, the crowd really get behind their team.

Going off topic here but for me that performance should nail him on for man of steel. Fantastic season. He is the heart of everything Huddersfield have achieved so far this season. The coach will probably get all the plaudits but I think Brett Hodgson deserves equal praise.

They need to get Suzi Perry involved in Rugby League

Shame to see Ray go...particularly stuff like yesterday's classic:

"Oooooh! He plucked that out of the air like a salmon". An entertaining image, the thought of Hodgson wrestling with a flapping fish in mid-air.

some funny french moments from yesterday

puletua knocks on, hudds players start backslapping

........

THEN french says

''Has he lost the ball? yyeeesss i think, i think he has''

Meli is touching the ball down under the sticks

cue french

''HAS HE GOT THE LEGS? yyeeesss he has!


The guy is a CLOWN of the HIGHEST order and looks like a rat.

yep.....Nobby was as clear as mud on that one

I think you'll find Kinsella is every bit as much a Saints lover as French. He wouldn't do for me.

Gutted Ray French is retiring, love his voice when he commentates. i don't like Dave Woods he sounds like Quagmire from Family Guy

"Excellent try by Wigan giggetty giggetty giggetty! Alriiiiiiiiiiighhtttttt!!!!!!"

For goodness sake - I DONT SUPPORT ANY PARTICULAR CLUB - NEVER HAVE -

Well ok then Philip, we know that you dont support any particular team...................but which ones do you hate??????

he seemed to have peaked about 1992-1997 but then turned more senial

My particular favourite of his can be found on a well known website using his name and 'slip of the tongue'

Best piece of commentary ever IMO when Saints played Halifax in the CC final, Saints scored a try after an outrageous dummy where the Saints player "showed Wilf Ball the George" quality.

'The er, former Blackbrook, er, amateur player.'

Big Ray is a firm supporter of RL and seems a top bloke, but he's never been great at commentating. All I hear are the 'er's' and it's pretty annoying.

ray french on sunday says:

''The monopoly of bradford leeds saints wigan and company broken up''

.....

AND COMPANY?

Why, who are the other teams that have had a monopoly ray?

You OLD annoying piece of SH*T
