I don't care if he favours Rovers, or gets excited when the other team score or any of those things. What I do care about is that he is the worst commentator in the world. Not only do I literally not have the first clue what is happening on the field but he can't get anyone's name right. Tala....erm...alla, and Bradley Walsh were just two of the embarrassing mistakes made tonight. Seriously Humberside, get rid.

They Bradley Walsh thing was awful. He is just plain awful. Time he retired

He's been like it for years. Doubt we'll see the back of him any time soon, sadly.

He goes off on tangents and you can feel the other commentators cringing trying to drag him back to the game

Yes, he really did refer to Anne Hegerty from The Chase as "that fat bird".

If you have internet either use Hull FC live or the away team commentary. No one should be forced to listen to him. www.hullfclive.tv/live-match-commentary-2/ www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-league/13629851

Regardless of any bias or lack of knowledge I find his delivery dreadful. Why does he have to end every sentence with an upward tone to his voice. Bring back Doyle!!

Having been to St Helens tonight that has just made my night. Comedy gold.

When he read the team news out at the start, he didn't mention Yeaman had dropped out and said Whiting had been moved from the backs to the forwards.

Meanwhile, on the BBC Sport website:

"The Robins broke the deadlock after three minutes when Paea crossed, but it was quickly cancelled out by Roby, who danced his way past full-back Jamie Shaul to score."

Wankers.

i don`t know why i bother listening to the commentry on humberside radio,with that clown lloyd.he yapps about anything except what`s happening on the pitch.i hope the lady he referred too with such a derogatery remark,tracks him down and sues him.

Totally agree with you all about him he's a joke.

Unless the results going his way,ie Rovers winning or Hull losing then the lack of interest in his voice is pathetic. When Leeds were scoring last week you'd have thought he was reading a bedtime story to a 3 year old. It's often similar when Hull score. Yet when it's Rovers or our opposition he ramps it up. His knowledge of the game and the players is laughable. Listening to him interviewing a sulking Craig Sandercock last Sunday was appalingly poor.
Get rid

Yup if Hull play on a Friday and lose, and Rovers lose on a Sunday its great he'll speak to Sandy and Huge then end the show replaying Hull's loss on the Friday, BUT if Hull win you don't get a replay then.. hmmmm wonder why

Total Bias he's a joke

apart from all the stuff mentioned, he also can't operate any of the technical equipment. there's always dead links, embarrassing silences, inability to get through to callers etc. etc.

Typo fixed

Who are all these feck wits the BBC seem to employ?.

Lloyd is far and away worse than Stevo. He can't get players names right, you have NO idea at all which area of the field we're in and often who has the ball!

I've emailed the controller at Humberside about his totally inappropriate "fat bird" comment last night. Hope it gets him at least a warning.

Gwilym can be a numpty at times, but....really?

you've emailed the controller at Humberside because he called the fat woman off the Chase a fat bird???

FFS the worlds going mad, she is a fat bird so get over it.

The reality is that a full time rugby league editor at a public service broadcaster (and let's be honest there are probably stacks of aspiring journalists hoping one day for this sort of opportunity) should have the following characteristics:
A passion for the game
Equal enthusiasm levels for both the city's professional clubs
Encyclopedic knowledge of both clubs' players and academy prospects
Good in-depth knowledge of all Super League clubs and working knowledge of the NRL
Articulate commentary that allows the listener to visualise play as it happens, and judgement to support accurate and fair summaries


To me there's little evidence of the above amongst any of the RH commentary team. Obviously we'll forgive Murdock a bit for his lack of SL insight (he doesn't have Sky) because for years he's had to be the only member of the team without Rovers bias. The context of the coverage they now present is an editor who references calling Neil Hudgell regularly at home of an evening and opens apologetic post match interviews with Craig Sandercock with "well it never rains but it pours" and regularly cites the fact that Sandercock has never had every member of his squad fit at the same time. Like he's unique in this respect. The two "expert summarisers" are an ex Rovers player who starts every sentence with "d'you know" and another who uses social media to accuse FC's board of feeding fans "horse s**t".

If this is the best, most articulate and insightful reportage set-up available from the BBC with appropriate balance of enthusiasm and critique, I'd be surprised. The comments made about the woman off The Chase are poor; I didn't know who she was but judging by her picture her BMI's about 1.2 points lower than Weyman's for starters.



Before I get accused of only seeing what I want in local media, I'll say again that in my view the HDM are pro FC and some of their articles, like the one about Miller's ecstasy on getting his visa, are so OTT it's a bit weird.

is that why grudgell is taking over HDM building with sponsor boards!

I didn't think that was actually HDM's building anymore. I thought Hudgell has taken it over for his business?

theres still one HDM sign to go with Grudgells 100

Let's hope it's a long afternoon for him today and we get to hear him mumble his way through try after try for Huddersfield,lol
