I don't think lee richardson is biased against Hull but he is pretty honest with what he says which rubs up fans on both sides of the river (and I don't mean the B&W's in east hull).

I have to say that I've not heard him say much which you can really disagree with

Yes, yes he did.

I don't listen to the Humberside match commentary and haven't for some time now.Like many others I believe there is a gross miss balance in the reporting of anything Hull FC.I believe that Gwillam is way out of his depth and if they ever take out the words "you know"from the English language he is going to be well and truly shafted.I do , now and again listen to the aftermatch phone in,more for a laugh at some of the numpty calls, rather than any non biased analysis.
I suppose we can all do the same,not tune in to their match commentaries,not participate in any of their phone in's and in general just blank their rugby programmes.I know for a lot of people the radio is the only source of keeping in touch with Hull FC,but if there is a significant fall in their listening figures,somewhere and someone will surely ask questions.

Anyone know who murdock represents so we can understand where the conflict might lie?

Re: Craig Murdock : Sun Jul 13, 2014 8:08 am  

I think its about time Lloyd was put out to grass bias in favour of rovers or not he's terrible and you can sense the commentators with him getting fustrated when he goes off on a tangent

Maybe, although he slated our board for building false expectations. Will he hold Mike Smith to account for saying 2014 would be Rovers year and Phil Lowe for saying Rovers pack is the best in the whole competition? Assuming they don't win the Grand Final, of course.

The tone of the news bulletins is a bit strange though. The day after they binned Sandercock, the comment was "Rovers can now look forward to building for 2015". Talking up Chester pre Leeds game as having a "100% record." All a bit weird.

Quite a few young players across the city and at Wakey IIRC. Hudgell has little time for agents, of course.

The paranoia on here is unbelievable, the anti hull statements rh makes are hardly earth shattering and echoed on here daily, false expectations are the biggest flaw. MS maybe makes them about us but we don't swallow it hook line and sinker every year and its usually a one off statement not a full on marketing ploy.

GL is a shocking commentator full stop and should be binned, unless your interested in playrr hairstyles then youll be fully up to date. The rest are ok and the coverage pretty good.
