    Default Classic commentary moments...

    Following on from the thread about classic try tapes, it may be interesting to recall classic RL commentary moments from the archives... the best coming from the likes of Ray, Alec, Maurice, Peter Fox et al.

    I'll start with a gem from Alex that isn't often remembered....

    "Well Ray, if you tek a closer luke at Rick Thakaray, eez gorra tremendous gash.... just above his head"

    and another Murphy gem...

    "Well Ray, thee do say slutch is good for the complexion, if thats true there'll be some beltin' lookin players at the end o this game"

    I think it was Sir Alex Murphy who said at one game 'any tackle above the head is head high'

    That was not Ray French its was Maurice Bamford after Paul Loughlin scored against Halifax in the 1987 CC Final. He commentated on the replay and his words were "He shows Wilf Ball the George and goes into the hole"

    Was it Brian Carney who replied to Bill Arthur after a Wigan win " I am as happy as a rabbit with two cocks Bill" I think Bill reminded him they were live on Sky sports.
