It's his total negativity that gets to me. He doesn't credit good play - just criticises mistakes made by the opposition.

Stewart Hall worthy of a mention?

and, to a large extent became a caricature of himself, particularly when he went onto 'it's a knockout', where he became more a figure of fun than a rugby person.

Hmm after having a think I wouldn't mind our opening fixtures going something like this:

H - Warrington
A - Wakefield
H - Wigan
A - Castleford
H - Widnes
A - Salford
H - Leeds

Warrington are having a major restructure so to get them early on would be more beneficial for us and have a better chance of beating them first up. Get Wakey away out of the way as I feel we will have a better chance of beating them at home later in the year (Belle Vue bit of a bogey ground). With Tomkins gone and a few Wigan players moving to pastures new I feel like we will have a great oppertunity to steal a win again before they all gel. Cas, Widnes and Salford to give us a few wins early on and built momentum going into the Leeds game



I have way too much time on my hands......plus uni work is boring

He is the main football commentator for ESPN.

Eddie Waring was a dreadful commentator, irrespective of all the other stuff said about him.

The BBC's racing coverage by Julian Wilson and Peter O'Sullivan was even worse.
