Rovers attacking Wire line......"It's Blake, err Burns, err Travis Blake, err Travis Burns.....no, its Withers".

Brilliant! Ha ha.

It's moments like that I'm glad he's still going.

Love Ray French he's the soundtrack to my first memories of RL from the early nineties

1890's?

I'm not Rogues.

I like when he does the Challenge Cup commentary and he makes that noise when someone scores,

"OOOOOOOOAAAAARRRRRRR, NOW THEN!
Now has he scored? Has he got that ball down?
I think he has Jonathan?"

And Davies is going,
"jus a simple troy, look at the replay here, there's two dummy run-ners,
second man, comes in, BANG!
jus a simple troy,
simple rugby league"

My mate's favourite:
"Ohhh he's in! He's in! No try."

Didn't hear all the commentary, but the references I heard relating to Blake Green came from the co-commentator, Alan Rooney.

the classic line in the 27-0 final of 1989, "and that was w*nk bad tackling by St Helens" I'm sure he tried to say rank but in the heat of the moment....

His best is when he couldn't decide whether to say forward or hooker and.... Well it's on YouTube

My favourites or rather cringeworthy cliches from French are, "good bollocking run" and "any youngsters watching".

Is it weird that I can see that try??

"a good, bullockin run thur, from the 6ft 4 inch, former Blackbrook amateur"

the glue factory is calling.....

oh dear Ray French... I remember that F--hooker one

Sally, are you then girl in the Bad T-shirts ad that appears at the side of the forum?

Now you know why the public school RU ties at the BBC keep bringing him out of Hibernation to make a mockery of our game.

Another from yesterday,........."the plays stopped there is a Rovers player down injured, its Salter, err no, its Cox, no,its Salter,...(Rooney) no Ray its Withers, its a smaller player, oh, er no, your right Ray its Salter, (French) no, wait a minute its the wingman Hodgson I can see his number, (Rooney) no Ray, you were right first time its Salter, or Cox,.......................................................oh, its Hepi !!!

Ray French has come out with some belters from time to time, I don’t know if he’s ever come out with the one the fat Stevo comes out with that makes me chuckle, “that kick has dissected the fullback and the winger” I just get this mental image of blood and body parts all over the shop!



PS take note of how many times Stevo says "it's as simple as that" in a show.

Stevos overused and frequent use of the word furious makes me--- furious !!

NOW THEN! HAS HE GOT THE LEGS??

*player is just about to cross the try line, clear run*

"Tony Smith realises..." "Shaun Wayne realises..." "the referee realises..." "...it's as simple as that!"
