What you might find interesting about Sunday is that there was good piece by James Rule about funding the new training facilities which I caught the last two sentences of, because it was broadcast in the Rovers part of the programme before The Oval Ball started, why was'nt it in our local Rugby League magazine show which in total had about 6 minutes of Hull FC?

However everyone knows my views so I won't reiterate them however Mr lloyd on Friday night said "And on Sunday the black and whites of Rovers go to Odsal" and on Sportstalk tonight said this of Friday nights game, "I thought Tom Briscoe had a poor game!".

Him and Mullan both said that Wigan were in big trouble if that was the best they could do, and slated Amos Roberts for gifting us a try and saying Riddell was worse than useless. Both said that Noble will be in danger of losing his job, so poor and unfit were Wigan. Whilst I don't disagree that Wigan were poor, the slant was that Wigan were so bad we were handed the win on a plate.

Contrast with the slant on Rovers who were praised for their towering defence and Dobson's inspirational drop goal - they even gave Morgan an open question along the lines of "Tell us how great Dobson is". Despite Bradford's lack of creativity, they were still classed as top 4 material. No mention of Jefferies and Platt having terrible games in the same way that they slated Riddell and Roberts. No mention of Briscoe (Shaun) knocking on 3 times, but plenty of time to criticise Briscoe (Tom) for having an all-round poor game and lacking maturity in decision-making (this latter point being complete bollox anyway). A lot of airtime given to Vella's impending lay-off, no mention of FC missing Raynor, Tony, Whiting. Let's face it, with this sort of bias in evidence one game into the season we're not going to get anything of value from RH in 2009. A shambles.

Humberside for me, Murdoch is a decent commentator, Gollum and DDD are both poor.

At least DDD has passion for OUR club, no matter how hard it is to follow the game from his commentary.

While Gollum remains at RH I won't be tuning in. I don't suppose that will worry them, but there you go.

Lets face it, local radio is poor, KCFM and RH are both very amateurish.

I like the opinions and commentaries of Lee Ritchie and the Doc. However I can't stand bear listening to those that have never ever pulled on a pair of boots, and DDD.

On phone ins why do they ask peoples opinions then butt in and yet again give their own if people dont agree with them. Maybe they think if they say the same useless drivel over and over again we'll all believe it.

GUESS AGAIN.

At least on Sky I can mute the tv once I see Stevo`s lips move.

I might do something i`ve never done before and listen to the radio commentary while i watch the game and see if they are actually watching the games.

Keep up the sanity and great work Ritchie and Doc....can you mute the others once their lips move?

Gwillym Lloyd is bad at his job; simple as. He is misinformed, has no real understanding of the game and attempts to court controversy as is the current trend with media personalities who lack in depth knowledge (Stevo). For some reason radio humberside stick with him and I think they actually believe that he is some kind of lovable rogue who listeners "love to hate".

How wrong they are.

your almost totally spot on, apart from the bit about him attempting to court controversy as is the current trend etc., speaking as someone who has had the dubious pleasure of meeting him, he is just naturally an ignorant, argumentative little gobsh--!

As previous posters have stated both him and DDD are a total dead loss as radio commentators, as the listener, you have no idea what is going on most of the time.
