Some people like dull "no-frills" rugby, plodding it up the middle. Personally I don't, but everyone's different.

The RFL have written to us to tell us to change it though so i guess he did have a point

Thats fair enough but why does he feel the need to dwell on something that he sees is a negative. He is there to promote the game and highlight what a great product we have, be that Hull FC play or any one of the other 13 teams.
Was it really the type of subject that should be dwelled on in a 45 minute programme. I would suggest not. It was hardly the most pressing subject matter of the week.

Stop being so touchy





Fook me

It’s a step up from nappy changing facilities!

The programme is awful, I watch Hulls highlights then turn it off and look forward to ‘The Footyshow’ on Thursday.

And he coaches in the National League. Says it all really lol!!!!!!!!

he might go after Bradford job if macca goes

FWIW i think Cullen is a pretty decent coach but was just very unfortunate to coach at a bad club like Warrington.

he certainly talks a good game. i dont think anyone will do well at wire until they sort their drinking culture etc.

That and the fact that being a fan and former player he was unable to tackle some of the thornier issues there.

This coming from a Hull FC fan? Oh come on, even the rest of you Hull fans must see the irony in that post!

That's why I live in London - I watch Quins



But have you seen some of our tries at Bradford? Some awesome ball handling and wide running!

This is a coincidence as i've just emailed Boots n All for the first time about this. Was bad enough during the Huddersfield game but then last nights show topped that comfortably. If that had been Wire going 5 wins on the bounce at Bradford, I somehow don't think EH would be bleating on about the shirts.

After the live game win over the Giants, it was all about how poor the Giants played. The fact they had some players injured (camera showing Crabtree in stands ) was mentioned a few times during the broadcast with no mention whatsoever of the 6 first teamers Hull were missing. Phil Clarke also highlighted how 4 in 12 of Hull's trys had come from kicks by this stage. A 1 in 3 ratio would seem about the norm these days with the Giants then scoring a 'fantastic' opening try via a kick, but no mention of this having not being quite the same as scoring a 'normal' try. Earlier in the season both Wigan's trys at Hull were from kicks, didn't see any negative anaylisis of this though. Well, you wouldn't from Mr Clarke would you.

Meanwhile on yesterdays Boots n All as Hull were tearing Bradford to pieces, it was far more important that the viewers realise that Hull's numbers on their away strip are a commentators nightmare. Fair point, I agree, but why not wait until the end of the analysis? Paul Cullen mentioned a few big units missing for Bradford. Really? A pack of Lynch, Newton, Scruton, Menzies, Morrison, Langley and Burgess sounds rather decent to me. How many of Hull's pack (on paper) would be chosen by the Sky 'experts' to get into that Bradford pack?

Cretins.

Whats up have you run out of socks



Get over yourself, its you who sounds like a cretin

Thought you were a Rovers fan for a minute there.

Why do people care what an imbecile like Eddie says, the league table shows 5/5, let the results do the talking, leave Eddie to lament the demise of St's & Wire.

agreed

True but where wouls RLFans be without the weekly anti Eddie and Stevo thread.

By the way, Eddie's a Widnes fan.

Never said he was a fan, just that he had his favourites.

Wonder who Phil (wets his pants whenever he talks about em) Clark supports.

Swinton Lions?

On Look North tonight a rather large peroxide blonde said 'it could be said that Hull FC have had an easy start'.

..............lets keep flying low, chocks away ginger

I care because I live in the South and I try to spread the word about this great alien game of ours to my southern cousins who only love Rugger for 5 weeks of the year when Twickers is used by over hyped jessies wearing white shirts with the dreaded red rose on the chest. ( I am a Yorkshire RL loving person )

EH is the voice piece, if we like it or not of our game. He portrays the game poorly imo. This particular subject being a casing point.

He should stop his love affair with the supposed big 4 and Wire and start prasing all teams for the excellent work they are all doing.

One casing point is his desire to mention the youth in the game, which is no bad thing, but very very rarely does he ever mention the youth we have. Plus the youth we have and keep on the books, unlike say Wigan.

Yes I may be over sensitive, but try living in a non RL area and promoting the game when he and Stevo are the only mouth piece there is for your sport.

Before you ask don't even mention Ray French.

Gok Wan would have his work cut out with her.!!!!

She certainly knew how to emphasise her largest assets.
