This Offiah hate is bizarre.
The greatest winger of our generation and an intelligent and enthusiastic observer of the game, Offiah is as well up on the game as he always was. I'd be happy to shunt off Terry O Connor or Barrie Mcdermott and have Offiah at the forefront of Skys coverage.
you'd be happy to have two extra players on each team and have drop kicks and conversions settle games.......... and have Dewi Morris replace Bill Arthur...!!
Martin Offiah the great winger that he was has spent the last 8 years away from Rugby League....
like it or not while Barrie Mcdermot was spending evenings coaching local amatuer sides as well as playing in Grand finals and Wembley finals of the summer era.....Martin Offiah was poncing about on celebrity dancing shows...
I would also argue he is not an intelligent observer of the game...he's just well spoken which is quite rare for Rugby League...
I doubt Offiah even knows who is currently playing Left wing for Widnes
