So glad others cant stand Simmonds garbage at HT! Leeds is a club that has always done things with class.

I dont go in long bar anymore cos all you hear is him shouting nonsense down microphone. He is awful. Get rid.

Agree entirely his ego is bigger than his body which is saying something

went to the world athletics champs in London at Olympic stadium, former athlete and uk 400m record holder Iwan Thomas was doing the live commentary and interviewing athletes after the events, made it exiting, but clear and to the point and pretty much could hear every word. that how it should be done.

Me too! Can't stand the 'shouty shouty' nonsense of 'Simmo' and 'Waggataurus' in particular but some mixed feelings - they are certainly 'raising' RL profile but at the same time looking like untalented Northern Twazzocks. I need new earplugs and/or an interpreter.

It is a shame because as you point out it should be a good thing having a RL program to watch as we don't get much but it's just not any good really.

I'll take Yorkshire at fighting but Lancashire at drinking.

Might get over if its a decent night weather wise.

Absolutely agree about Simmonds.
His loutish shoutish style just gets up my nose and makes half time unbearable.
Bring in a professional announcer with a rugby league interest and bias.
I also agree about the birthday messages. If it was for me, I would be so disappointed. If the sound / pronunciation is that bad and can't be improved, then maybe e mailing an av file would be better. More likely to hit the target. Imagine a kids horror if he missed it having nipped out for a pee or a drink.

Not only is he unprofessional, but he's an ar£ehole too.

I also know of two people who he's tried to screw over, one being a family member, in relation getting paid for work on Rugby AM.

Leeds persevere with it purely because of JJB's involvement, and are admirably backing what could potentially be JJB's income post-RL.
