Those phrases are not made up by Sky, a lot come from the NRL and we use them or the odd coach comes up with another word and phrase and it catches on.

I should have said "imported", my apologies, but you know what I am getting at, it's all recent langauge that adds nothing to the game.

I quite like it, good to have new phrases etc, the game has to evolve and not stand still.

That's fair enough, you are entitled to your opinion, to me is just sounds like people grasping at some straws trying to give the impression they know more about the game, when in fact they know about the same as everyone else.

I see your point but don't agree, if you say island or pitch, changing rooms or sheds, halfbacks or pivots it all means the same thing.

They arent in the same league as Hanley,Edwards,Gregory and a player who was very under-rated in Tony Myler...as for Eastmond...he can clear off.

Done mention Andy Gregory

Indeed, they were true legends of the game, Eastmond would struggle to think at half the speed Edwards did, just a shame the demon drink got hold of him when he was coaching.

Think you named the wrong half back there regards the drink!

Shame these legends seem lost to our game.

Indeed, I meant Gregory, apologies.

I remember going to The Willows and "talking" to Gregory before the game, he was pi$$ed as a fart, and he was meant to tbe the coach.

Wasn't Gregory tested & found to be one of the fittest athletes in the whole of the UK, I'm sure there was a programme about it?
Certainly Roby will be up there IMO.
