Why do the BBC continue with the ploy of having Robbie Hunter-Paul report from the pitch? He adds very little to the commentary and just gets in the way of the players.

Side stepping and swiveling around thinks he is still playing. Twat.

It is awful. He’s in a rush to get off the pitch which makes what he’s says rushed and pointless. Why don’t they just have someone sat on the sidelines who can take their time with what they say.

Good to see Tolsen Tollett back though, I always rated him on sky.
And to be fair, despite RHP, the BBC coverage is way better than Sky's

It's called in the industry 'colour'.....

In that case, does anyone know where I can buy a black and white telly?

As a flatcapper, indeed you'll be stuck in 1973 with the 3 TV channels....

It would be better if we replaced him with Graham Norton, except graham Norton is less camp.

Agreed, but it's still awful. And I thoroughly agree with the sentiments of the thread.

Robbie is trying to be Brad Fittler. Watch the Nine coverage on a Friday night and you'll see a similarity. Freddy does the same.

The referee should show him the red card and say 'If I see you on the pitch again ,I will get the security staff to throw you out of the ground'.

I'm sure you're waiting for 90 year old Ray French to return to calling the game?

Robbie Paul is terrible at everything media wise he does

I remember his dad. Big bullocking front row forward.

Just tune into Radio Merseyside every week if you miss his dulcet tones.

He was a big lad, a powerful lad; I remember he played his amateur rugby at Wigan St Pats.

And yes, RHP galloping about the pitch, breathlessly panting his way through platitudes during breaks in play, is embarrassing; aside from that, the BBC coverage was excellent.

St Pats & Blackbrook (last syllable said like you're gargling phlegm) provided every forward Ray ever commented on. Fact.

Tulsen tollet seems pretty good though.
