I'm having a rant…..
Peter Tunks just said on Talkin Sport that the Tigers were "the elephants graveyard". I am so sick of this hack giving to the Tigers. Maybe he should have a look at his own teams performance on and off the field. Every chance he gets. Yesterday he stated that every Tigers signing was being paid "massive overs". Based on what information Peter? He just talks rubbish. And while I'm ranting, he brings no intelligent discussion to any topic on Talkin Sport. He can hardly string two sentences together. Rant over.

So why do you listen to it?

Because the pissed yobbos calling up with no clue are funny, Hughes makes the odd good point, Gerard Condom is unintentionally funny, Robbo is mental and Graeme Gilbert promos are hilarious.

I spend more time laughing than anything.

Was a corker when Adrian rang up on Monday about the Dogs and Tunksy lost the plot and started yelling over the top at him to shut up.

Adrian's a repetitive bore but he often gets the better of them… They keep him on the show despite their disdain for him because they think everyone hates him, but they know he adds to their show.
Tunks lost his cool telling him to shut up several times... Adrian got him even though they control the calls and can cut it off at any time.
Hughes often loses it with him as well and he'll hand it over to the others while he ditches the headphones and goes outside to punch a wall and swig some scotch.
I enjoy the league talk but like the OP when the discussion turns to us it's difficult
 
I have noticed that if you scramble the letters in the name Peter Tunks (and add a few) you can make the words GOLD PLATED TOOL.
 
Haven't listened to the show for over 10 years. I used to listen to it religiously when it was Graeme, Robbo, Jimmy Smith and Tex. Good to see the radio station is still as amateurish as they were back then. I remember their newsreaders sounded like they'd just come straight out of high school and didn't even pass standard English. And their hodgepodge of regular callers weren't much better. I remember Adrian. He always denied he was a Dogs fan despite religiously talking them up. Darren sounded like his head was screwed on at 180 degrees. Stereotypical Souths fan. And he loved calling in giving Sheffield Shield updates. There were others. The guy who use to say ''I say'' half a dozen times a call. You could play a drinking game to it. Craig i think his name was. Then there was Dave the Dragon who dumped the Dragons and became Dave the Panther.

Haven't listened to it since Tunks has been on, but he sounds like a grade A tosser.
 
I usually listen to it whilst driving from work…both tunks and hughes are oxygen theives they have it in for the tigers because pascoe or Go wont go on their show...i emailed them one day and called them sooks and suggested if they wanted to hear from tigers management they should listen to MMM....funny thing was Tunks for months paid out on the tigers and when Ivan went on their show the gutless grub didnt say boo
 
So the goose says we've paid overs for players….hey tunksie...who paid 1.1m for Arron Woods, oh yeah it was your team

LOL - i had forgotten about Craig - he couldn't go one sentence without at least 3 " i say" in it - wonder what happened to him. Robbo reminds me of a cartoon where that little pup is always trying to get the attention of the big dog. Yes Graham you know Graham oh Graham its like this Graham. Last night i heard some guy who rings in weekly with the results of some Newcastle swimming competition that has 4 teams and he makes out as though its big as the World Cup. Then there was the guy who rang in a weekly segment on motorbike racing. I'm sure this show was setup as a comedy show. Someone mentioned it went for 4 hours - but that includes 3 hours of ads, cuts to the news read by 12 yr olds who can't read and Robbos incessant crap music intros.

The other thing he is always on about is how Ava seu…. is a better prop than Packer - and Packer is only where he is because of Vaughan.

Would not even know what station he is on!! I don't read the DT, I don't watch NRL 360,I don't watch the footy show. NRL media full stop is basically all crap, ABC get 5 out of 10, Sterlo's fox show is okay, the rest is basically rubbish.

Anyway why would you waste your time with that stuff when you can spend hours on this forum!!!

You and I both, Supercoach!

That's funny, I didn't see Vaughn playing for the Kiwis when Packer turned out a good performance. Must have been Bromwich that day…

Have never listened to Tunks, Hughes and co but your last sentence basically describes Big Sports Breakfast to a tee as well. Michael Slater would have to be one of the most boring people alive IMO. Is Talkin Sport worse than BSB? If so, that is criminal.

The funniest thing on BSB was when Liam Fulton rang them up in 2005 calling himself 'Darren from Campbelltown' and telling them they didn't know what they were talking about. Maybe he should prank call Talkin Sport and give it to Tunks.
 
Craig lost the plot a few years ago, had an on-air tantrum almost reduced to tears over an Aussie test cricket issue… Became very irrational and would wait for hours to be first caller every arvo, they ended up punting him

Yeah craig was a weird one…i recall he used to come on and read the telegraph....would love to hear Russell Packer call them...im sure tunks would have a better opinion of him....still cant forget the day he stated Ava was a better prop than Packer
 
I'm sure there is a place for sports radio mainly discussing NRL, however, both the BSB and Talking Sport fail miserably. Same boring hosts dishing up the same opinions, "gags" , segments and same callers.
Surely a radio station could run a sports show with intelligent, relevant hosts creating good talk via phone , SMS social media platforms etc.
Jimmy Smith does an okay job, there must be some FOX commentators who would have the time such as Andrew Voss, Warren Smith and even Kerry O'keefe or Jamie Soward to name a few who could do a day or two a week and create a refreshing show worthwhile tuning into
