Didn't realise he had won so much. Pity it's all with Bradford.

Taking a club like Bradford with it's Smith/Elliot made squad of Champion players and slowly running it into the ground before leaving a shell of a squad for Steve McNamara to cop the flak for.

For taking a club like Wigan and turning it into the NRL appreciation society whilst simultaniously holding back the careers of Ainscough, S Tomkins, Goulding etc

And for taking a decent GB team and presiding over some of our worts test defeats in the history of Interational football.
He was sacked from the coaching staff at Wakefield about 15 years ago and nothing he's done has ever made me think that they were wrong to get shut of him.

I am still amazed at the fact that out of 18 BBC One regional channels only 4 got to watch the Super League Show. In Scotland, the Magic weekend location, it isn't shown. In Wales, home of Celtic Crusaders, it isn't shown. Please don't tell me that the majority of people would rather watch Diagnosis Murder than rugby league. OK tell me.

Dick Van Dyke is a cockney so therefore a southerner.

So because everything revolves around London and the south they show it.

Makes perfect sense if you think about it.

Well at least as good as what the Beeb may say
