The BBC 5Live 1.30pm Sports News Desk is on 31 March and George Riley again mentions Lee Smith's move back to Leeds from Wasps.

And what does Gaby Logan have to pipe up and say ? 'Is there any other news broadcaster giving that story such prominence ? Its only cos your a League fan'.

In fairness to George he at least retorted that it should be prominent on other sports bulletins. Thank God we have one person who's pro-League at the Beeb.

Never think she was brought up in Leeds would you ? Can't stand the woman :FRUSTRATED:

WHAT. A. T!T.

Did anyone get a response from complaining about her re Gareth Thomas?

It could be just as easily said that she would only want the RL story ignored because she is married to a former Union international.

Typical southern based media, the quicker BBC sport moves to Salford the better.

She is fit though.

Each to their own but I don't think she's fit at all ! Have far far better at home thank you.

Oh, and the Smith story was gone by the 2.30pm bulletin - but George Riley's shift was over by then.

The wonderful independence of the BBC eh ?

No. She looks like a Shim.

Should've gone to SpecSavers

No. She still looks like a shim.

Is that a tranny?

I wouldn't touch her with Kevin Brown's let alone mine.

This is what a shim looks like

Hang on a minute - if every media outlet in the country were running headlines saying "Rugby League international fails to make the grade in club Rugby Union", we would be up in arms

This isn't a positive RL story for me so I'm happy it isn't too widely reported

Is that Gabby Yorath?

Yes. A mixture of the word she and him. Shim.

And she does look like a shim. All that gymnastics. Big shoulders. Contest in the bedroom no doubt.

Yeah if you like bony d witches who could get free entry to a transvestite f^(kfest

You are gay.

you mean Gobby Yorath don't you

daughter of Boozy Yorath and Mrs Massive-Ego Yorath.

Erm, what has she actually said thats so wrong? Shes right in what she says. No other broadcaster gives 2 hoots.

i agree - on the whole, this isnt a positive story for rugby league. If a current England RU international signed for a Super League team and failed after 2 months, we would be laughing our cocks off on here about how inferior their game is compared to ours.

It either shows that top RL players cant handle RU, or that the RL champions are resorting to raiding the ranks of RU reserves to fill their team.

the only potential positives to this story are that:
a) other top players see it as a warning that its not that easy to make it in RU
b) RU clubs decide not to target RL players as its not worth the risk

The RFU has already gone down the route of (b) in that they do not directly target RL players on central deals now.

I'd have thought a player moving to the current Super League Champions would class as news, no matter where they have come from. Would Logan make the same point should a player sign for Leicester, Gloucester, Bath et al?

Looks like it

On the topic of getting BBC feedback on the prior complaint, I did eventually get a response - if I remember to I will post it on here. Was pretty smarmy and dismissed the whole thing, no apology of course.

Remember seeing her on the 'Good luck to Leeds' video for the World club Challenge, claiming she was a Leeds gal and supporting them So much for that!
