BCB : Mon Aug 29, 2016 5:13 pm  

Listened to the second half on the radio today for the first time. Got to say I thoroughly enjoyed it, loved the enthusiasm for a pretty much non event really, as this shield really is. Particularly loved the comparison to Jaryd Hayne in the NRL when Chisholm scored his long range try

Well done guys, it's a yes from me

I agree, a great commentary. I'd like to mention Mick Gledhill's questioning on the post match interview I just watched on Bulls TV. That's the first time I can remember anyone asking perceptive, thoughtful questions. Interesting points about Alex Mellor, game plan and also the U19s plug. Much better than the usual "They didn't throw in the towel," "X had a good game didn't he?" etc.

I have to say, when I was watching the interview, many of Ross's "questions" leave me scratching my head as to what he is asking. Mick is considerably better at the interview than Ross or indeed Hobbo. In fact, Mick's broadcasting this year has been excellent and he is a credit to BCB at the moment. We need guys like him to get people interested and keep the rest of us entertained! My fiance's brother (Manc lad - no interest in rugby league whatsoever) even commented that he found Mick's commentary funny!

Was the Bulls Forum on BCB Mick's idea? Also, does he do it for free? I seem to remember someone putting something along those lines on here before. If he does do it for nowt, that's even better.

Listening to Micks commentary on Bulls TV today I need to point out to him the Sun is behind the shadows and the Bulls were facing away from it in the first half, I suspect your confusion was from where the media section is and you were looking into the Sun, although it did seem a long way into the first half before you realised it wasn't directly affecting the Bulls!

As an aside I kept thinking the Rams water boy looked liked Karl Pryce but wasn't sure as he didn't go off injured!!

Based on the fact that every time he went on to give them water, he immediately trotted back off and went for a long sit down, I can confirm it was indeed Karl.

Saw something on the Dewsbury forum on TotalRL that Karl is coming to the Bulls in a coaching capacity next season, dont know if anyone heard similar

Perhaps Leon wants his "little" Bro back with him so it could be feasible

Would be ridiculous. Karl's problem has always been attitude. I don't mean that he has a bad attitude, just that he has an unmotivated one. People who know him have remarked that he's so laid back, that may be the reason he falls over so much.
To ask someone with the total lack of motivation Karl has apparently possessed over his career, to try and coach and motivate other players, would be nuts IMO.

I’m not sure what Karl could bring to the coaching team if that rumour is to be believed (which I doubt). Whatever it is I wouldn’t expect it to pay much if anything. I suspect he’ll be keeping his job as a postie.

I imagine his round must be the shortest of all the posties. Otherwise he probably wouldn't get finished until the evening on account of having to sit down at every other doorstep he gets to for a rest.
