Favourite RL cliches........

[Tim Streets tache]

Up the jumper time.

"Outfit" for team

Smarts

Any more.....

[Hela Wigmen]

Every team must be measured off of the same list of criteria. 

[Hopping Mad]

"The players took time to recover from the long bus ride here..."

[away games in Cumbria]

[Hela Wigmen]

It’s usually about 2.5 seconds into a post match interview before “all credit to the boys” comes out.

"To be fair" is one of my pet hates.

“He can’t run without legs”

[Rioman]

'Middles'.  They're 'forrads' (in Yorkshire)       

The Playing Group

The Arm Wrestle

 

[Lapsed Leeds Fan]

"Don't come away from the opposition line without a point."

Only ever said after a drop goal.

 

[Whippet13]

"Big D".

Any variant of: "We are on a journey as a group".

"It's going to be Warrington's year".

[Hela Wigmen]

Barrie McDermott seems to have watched every player to play in Super League from the age of 8 as well. 

[Harry Stottle]

Pity we can't put coaches facial expressions on here, best for me are Daryl Powell and Tony Smith, Brian McDermott is not bad either looking anywhere but the person who is doing the interview.

LMS lasting five seconds before having to apologise for "****ing sweaing, **** I'm sorry ...."

[CmonTheBorough]

Ray French always used to say “Oooh, never let the ball bounce in Rugby League.”

[Hopping Mad]

"The slope at Thrum Hall is/was worth a six-point start to Halifax."

Of Mount Pleasant...

"Batley play better up t'slope, in t'second 'alf, wi'art ball."

"Welcome to the Recreation Ground, where the pitch looks a little heavy this afternoon."

[The Art of Hand and Foot]

Ray French,  again, "He's playing the old soldier", "he gets up gingerley", " He's took a hard knock but he's not mithered". And  to Alex Murphy "He's pulled his groin , we never pulled a groin in our days Alex" to which Alex replied " not from playing rugby we didnt".

[The Rocket]

Paul Vautin " The bloke must have spiders on him"

Andrew Johns cliches about Cam Smith: "It`s like he`s watching the game from above" and " he`s always thinking two or three sets ahead" and of course " He`s got a very high Rugby League IQ".

 

 

[Rioman]

That's very poooooooor. 

[Harry Stottle]

Again Ray French, "it's a war of attrition"

[Whippet13]

Ray French: "The former (insert club) amateur".

I always remember listening to Ray commentating on Widnes v Wigan once on Radio Merseyside.

It was late on, the scores were tied and there was a loose ball.

Ray said "He's picked it up, he's clear, he's going for the line, he's thrrrrrr!" 

Gave absolutely no indication of which team, never mind player, had scored until the goalkicker stepped up.

This was also Andy Gregory's catchphrase.

[Bearman]

"Well Coach, what are your thoughts about your player who got sent off for what some are saying is the dirtiest action in the history of the game ?"

" I was distracted and didn't see it"

 

[fighting irish]

Ray French - ''Well we have to ask ourselves do we really want that kind of behaviour in our game?''

(No penalty awarded) 

''Well it looks as if we do!''
