I used to love Laurie Daley’s pearls of wisdom amongst the best was..”Whoever scores the most points today will win the game”.

As Basil Fawlty said about his wife Sybil if she went on the tv show "Mastermind" her speciality subject would be "The Bleeding Obvious"

Rabs saying "Coleman's had a shocker tonight" five minutes before 9 gave him player of the match.

I liked Warren Smiths call when Souths scored 2 tries in the last minute to beat the Roosters. 2nd try was off the kickoff. He finished the length of the field call by saying "you can take me now I've seen it all".

Most people on here believe that losing a game like that is only possible for the Wests Tigers but that is not true, the difference being that at the Wests Tigers it is a regular occurrence.

IMHO, Peter Wilkins/Warren Ryan/Craig Hamilton ABC sports call and no one after them!
It is an insult to mention the name of any other game caller in the same sentence as that ABC's triumvirate!

David Morrow for me .....never heard Frank Hyde

Frank Hyde was a good caller and i used to love it when he complained about the ball boys blocking his view on the sideline

Yes I used to love finding some and adding them.
We could start a new one for Blocker. At one stage this season I heard him say “he’s a good player this kid”…he was talking about Nathan Cleary lol…

Always remember Frank Hyde’s description of just about every attempt at conversion - if it’s long enough, it’s high enough and if it’s straight it’s there!

Not quite accurate. It was "it's long enough, it's high enough & it's straight between the posts"
He was great caller & I listened to him in my youth on my [This word has been automatically removed] radio. For the younger members - that's a transistor radio. Not a tranvestite's radio....

I have never heard anything more fake than Gus’ love for Galloway.

Rabs as some player gets carried off on a stretcher: This is a real tragedy.
Sterlo in background thinking he’s off mike: It’s a tragedy alright, he’s captain of my fantasy footy team!

Haha I remember that. That was Issac Luke. I can confirm that it is indeed a tragedy when your captain goes down.
