They’ve replied to me on the Wigan thread already today, so why they making it sound as if they’re Sherlock Holmes?

On another note why not have a female rugby league journalist? Or in the case of the BBC Tanya Arnold and Claire Balding do a great job, what I’m on about it their brining female rugby league players who are nowhere near the standard to comment on SL.

Are you F*****G serious??? Jesus christ.

Lot of right on posters on here tonight.

Nope just someone digging a big hole and making himself look a right bigoted d**k, you made your mind up she was crap before she got going just because she is a women, and she has done s great job, understandidly but nervous on her first spell but grew in confidence the more she was in screen.

Don’t comment then, ignore the thread. If you’re going to counter argue then do so without using insults as others have.

My main point is women’s SL in nowhere near the standard of where their players should be brought on to Sky to comment on SL games as an expert or current player, like they do with Superleague players. If it was a female presenter or a female journalist there wouldn’t be an issue, it’s the fact of the above that I didn’t agree with.

So anyone who thinks I love Trump, Voted Brexit, read the Daily Mail, live in the 1950s, an a Tory and 103 is wrong. I’m none of the above.

God the hole is getting so big Bernard cribbins would be proud, if you cannot see what's wrong with your comments despite everyone else pointing it out to you, your comment has no point as no validity, its pure ignorance and bigotry.

First of all you don't need to have played to a high standard to be knowledgeable and insightful about the game. I never played any higher than the Hull and District league but I am certain that I am more knowledgeable about the modern game than plenty of ex professionals.

Secondly, it's about the image we want to portray to viewers and sponsors. We need to appear more inclusive and forward thinking to appeal to a broader spectrum. It might seem like tokenism, but it is important to portray that image.

Best response so far, thank you.

No need for insults, that’s why there’s no debate in this country, because of people like yourself shouting down and insulting others.

Now if someone can convince me that I’m wrong I’d be the first to admit I was wrong, the original reply was a great response. Then followed a few poor insults that never gave any cause for me to change my ‘mysogynisic ways’.

Is it not sexist to give a person a job based on their sex? Answer me that.

On another note she did well, a lot better than some SL men may do.

Re: Women on Sky : Thu Mar 28, 2019 10:29 pm  

Well there you are then, make a judgement on her contribution rather than jumping straight in with the gender issue.

Meh. If it encourages the women’s game and makes us seem more open to women then what’s the harm?

Also, the women’s football standard is poor too so they don’t use or pretend it’s at the same level. It’s not about that.
