yes I heard the same

fell off the settee when he announced it

Mind you Ray French made lots of bloopers, think at one point he called Hull Leeds

Indeed he did - he also called Mark O'Meley "Mr O'Riley," and his pronunciation of Lauaki and Hauraki's names was pure comedy. Bless him - it's like listening to your slightly senile grandpa telling war stories.

I also find myself almost constantly irritated by the BBC camera work during CC games - it's absolutely dreadful.

Oh and Alan Agar was the coach :/

Ray French is a legend he might get mixed up but thats part and parcel of him,As for the bbc camera work at least its a bit different than sky and the arial shots are great something i think sky should do

O well if u do drop out at least you will still have him in super league as you say he is still 1 of yours lol

Why is it crazy, do you know Sam, some players belong at clubs but for whatever reason no longer play there.

Sam was at Wakey when we lost Adam Watene and Leon walker and will always be part of this club.

Warm ballls, cold balls? I'd have bet my house on that draw!

I find him rather dull to be honest, I don't like his voice!
I agree on the Obst comment though, he chose to move on, some fans need to get over it!

Legend my arris, just a plain and simple thug in his day

If Saints and Wigan had been kept apart you would have been saying it was fixed so they met in the final, laughable.

Folk have' got over it' but we can still take an interest in his performance. He gave alot for us and went through alot with us also. Folk like him JD, Willi P still think alot of us Wakey Fans and feel for what we are going through and if we want to mention it on here we can. I still feel he was pushed and was not actively seeing to move unlike many other players

I think most people are "over it" but we still like to see some ex players do well, apart from when they play us.
I actually still think Neil Fox is a Wakey legend even though he moved on during his playing career.

He also referred to Cameron Phelps as Cameron Phillips at one point!

Oh yes, and as for the shoddy camera work. Terrible!

They're used to the much slower paced Yawnian

he had a good 20 minutes and went missing after that

hope Cas beat Leeds support Trinity and anybody who plays Leeds

I take it from that post that you know me personally and have done for a long time? No? Move along then...

Maybe that should have read somebody would have claimed it was fixed. The point still stands no matter what draw comes out in what round there will always be somebody suggesting it's a fix!

That's all nice and everything but at the end of the day he now plays for Hull. Murphy showed you didn't HAVE to leave at that time, he chose to. He is no longer 'one of us' in my opinion like some people still think.

I agree with this point. Obst chose to leave for the security of himself, Murphy stayed under the same circumstances.

P.S It's nice to post again after initially been banned by RR (thanks mate) and having to set up a new profile! Pathetic!

Whoops...

don't think that was a smart move mate

I know, but I was banned around 3weeks ago for one week. I want my old profile (kingsway cat) back up and running so I can post again. I have tried to sort it out but nothing has worked yet!

Perhaps you could just move to Towngate?
