You really are a Dog-awful troll, Brucie.

Just imagine if you'd beaten us, or moved above us in the table, then you'd have some grounds to spend your Friday evening on our forum. Alas, you've done neither.

And how many times have you won at Wembley?

And the hardest.. Cracking hit that was, it's what rugby leagues all about. Think people may need to by scrum hats to keep stevo happy



Also Agree with tinker

who would have thought it bruce forsyth making a 20 th century joke

who would have thought it bruce forsyth making a 20 th century joke

The same number of times as you've had sex with a girl.

But on the other hand.....

None. We won the Challenge Cup in 2005 though. What have you lot been up to for the last 20 years?

Who was the last Hull side to be Champions? Who are the only Hull RL side to have won at Wembley? (stuffing your joke outfit,incidently)


We're a bigger club than you.

brucie you such a funny guy. think i saw your long chin down on poorhouse lane the other monday night

Now if ever the term "bellend" should apply to someone this would be it.

I think Sky is the classic example of why a monopoly never works, in any walk of life. They're currently paying far less than they should be for RL because nobody else is interested in it, despite it being their second most watched sport. ESPN/Aviva/ITV pay more for RU which less people want but more broadcasters want. Their coverage is based around Eddie who will call the name of the ball carrier wrong three times in each set (on a good night) and Stevo.

Now Stevo has basically morphed into one of those computer games where they get a commentator to record 20 or so stock phrases that play out randomly during the action. All he does now is sit there and recite the following (and a few others) in a different order:
- Time for something different, like a little chip over the top
- I'd be going for the one pointer
- Any youngster out there watching...
- This *insert team name* outfit...
- *Insert hooker's name* is controlling things out there

etc

The whole coverage needs shaking up. Ideally I'd pay money to get some of the Aussie commentators over here (but then that's my solution for the abysmal refereeing too). Failing that, personally I'd sack Stevo off altogether and replace him on the main commentary with McDermott and O'Connor permanently. I'd make Bill Arthur the main commentator as I like him a lot better than Eddie when he gets an outing. I'd get rid of Clarke too. Three years ago he was the best thing about the Sky games but now he just sits there trotting out stats that mean nothing to anybody and noshing off Wigan.

I'd let Carney front the whole thing as presenter and give him 15 minutes before the game, 15 mins at half time and 15 mins afterwards. I don't understand why Sky give half an hour beforehand when there's nothing to talk about except what's gone before and the team sheets, and then they're in a rush to cut off after the game and screen some bloody repeat of a fishing show so all post game analysis and reaction has to be dug out of the red button, which many (like me) don't have depending on platform. Typically the Super League is the last live event of the evening, you've got four channels, why not run it on 30 minutes longer? Is there a huge audience for a repeat of Tight Lines at 10pm that wouldn't watch it at 10.30pm?

Ideally I'd put Carney alongside a professional presenter, not necessarily one with an RL background. One of the SSN guys, or dare I suggest Clare Balding who is always the best bit of the BBC's dreadful Challenge Cup coverage? I'd do the whole thing from pitchside with two guests - one with a link to the game, and one with a link to the next match they're televising. I used to enjoy it when they had the coach of the live Saturday night match on the Friday night coverage, I don't know why they stopped it. And when I say pitchside I mean professionally pitchside, not the weird Whicker Island set up they have now on Monday nights.

I guess most of you gave up at my Clare Balding suggestion, but I do think a big overhaul is needed, and would have happened if monopoly hadn't created laziness.

I agree, something needs to be done, if that's the solution or not I don't know. I used to think some of the comments on here about the sky team were over the top but watching the prematch build up tonight it was like there was only one team playing tonight and it only got worse from there! However it only added to stress of tonight's game

Please pm me with Saturday's lottery numbers.

As a neutral fan from afar. Hull FC are generally viewed by the RL public as a much bigger club than Hull KR. Hull are a team of great tradition and made GF's and CC finals while being a steady playoff team for many years. Hull KR play on a social club car park and only thing of note they have achieved since tv's were colour is extension of the bike shed their fans stand in an extra 10 metres each season.

Please call again. Always excellent to get an external perspective.

Good post. I also wish they'd drop the 'worlds slowest relay race' pre-match analysis where the camera follows a presenter around for a bit then moves to the next one. Comical but a little bit crap.

Reffing needs sorting before Eddie and Stevo tho IMHO.

I agree, I could put up with Andy Pandy & Superted commentating as long as the ref situation is addressed, being shocking this season!

The commentary last night was yet again biased nonsense. Lineham scored a try and had some pretty good runs etc. yet this is virtually ignored. Yet when the Sky team's beloved Leeds were paying Wakefield they never stopped banging on about Keinhorst who basically did nothing all game, certainly less than Chris Green did last night who barely got a mention.

and less fans.

Wahay, another rovers fan who is as transparant a troll as you'll ever find. Jake the prick, I like it. I'll call you kiddie tinkerman if that's OK?
