"Journalists are meant to be neutral, for God's sake." - Stephen 'Wiggy' Jones

"Perhaps it would be better that future criticism of sports be made on the narrow basis of what is being discussed, without reference to other sports, unless those sports offer a solution to the problem in hand." - Brian 'Pigface' Moore

"What happens in rugby union? A player takes the ball, moves forward a little and gets tackled. A whole load of players then roll about on the ground. Pheep! The referee gives a penalty." - Simon Barnes

I like the idea of rock-scissors-paper replacing tossing a coin pre kick-off.....

Well put together show and great to hear somthing like that on national radio, but most of it was old news only the McNamara story was current and was touched on less than most other stories.

"surely they've got to try somthing different now, maybe the little chip over the top?2

To be fair, George Riley is very good and always passionate/looking for positives. Same with Millward, Stuart Pike etc.

I had an interesting conversation with a rugby league reporter from local radio the other day. We were discussing Five Live and he said that one of the biggest problems Goerge, Stuart and co face is the fact that the Five Live RU department "has a lot of power and calls the shots". It wasn't great to hear, but I'm not surprised.

I heard a bit of last night's RU show and it was pointless - out of season, so they were talking about stuff from months and months ago. Why bother?
