Round 1 Discussion *Spoilers*

Went crap in fanstay as well lol

At some point this year the Eels are going to have to ask Reed Mahoney to do more.

Good little player but offers very little creativity compared to some other top line hookers at the big clubs.

Theyd look a lot better with one bringing their forwards on to the ball.

I overheard my cousins husband talking him up as the next Qld hooker a few weeks ago. Dude is a tackle dummy. I think Simpkin will eat his lunch once he hits first grade.

For once i agree with you.

Lousy game made worse by Warren's dated rambling commentary. Heard he might be retiring. Cannot come soon enough!

Fox wasnt great either

Fox obviously feeling the pinch money wise. No new shows, no new promos for shows, no new sets, same faces basically. Nothing exciting. Biggest change has been Matt noble’s glasses

I think you've converted me to hating Voss, he was really annoying tonite. Maybe it was just the game...

Welcome to the club of people who like rugby league analysis instead of circus side shows!!

I mentioned this earlier. While I get why people hate him, he’s never bothered me....till tonight. Idk why but he was grating on me. Throw in Anasta and Blocker, and it was the trifecta.

When is a trip not a trip?
Ferguson might've had his legs spreadeagled but he lifted his leg to drop DWZ.
Typical hopeless refereeing with that non-call.

I had to put it on the ABC call with Andrew Moore. Couldn't take nine or fox commentary.

Blind Freddy could see it was a trip ..
Still only a $1500 fine ( I think )

I was switching between fox and nine all night.

You’re in for a long year mate as the quality isn’t there on 9 or fox ...
Imo Vossy is the best on fox ..
Also like Gasnier but I’ve heard he’s been punted ?

I wait all summer for footy to start and then whinge!!! Nah mate it’s all good. Some annoy me but I still love watching it all. Pity about Gasnier - he was great.

If you like footy analysis I recommend a podcast called Rugby League Digest. Excellent

I always liked him too, but over the last couple of seasons I find he comes across as quite condescending, especially in reference to fans, more so if they’re supporters of a traditionally perceived working class team, and/or their team isn’t performing well that season. A lot of patronising undertone in his commentary in general imo. Can give praise if a player or team does something amazing but he seems to er on the side of mockery instead. Probably just his commentary style but I’m not a fan.

 

[Hangonaminute]

The last Dogs game I'll be watching all year, even when they play us.
They're just a nuisance team, they'll win a handful of games 6 - 4.

Pays game plan is defend and put up a bomb and hope for the best, hopefully we score a try and hold on.
Putrid football team

 

[Telltails]

To be fair to Voss the game was so dull and uneventful that the commentary became more noticeable than what was happening on the field.

Should've at least been a penalty to the Dogs. As the game wore on Parra started to get more of a leg-up from the refs with a few calls IMO. Nothing unusual there.

Still would have been better than Voss and his lame, unfunny attempts at humour.

Funny as a dead "Bulldog"

No it wasn't the game, Steve.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

The commentators didn’t have anything to work with outside the big hits during the 1st 10mins or so. After that it was like watching a mud pitch game with sideways rain.

Dogs got a penalty a tackle later anyway.

It's a trip any day of the week. The refs made up for it by giving a penalty for Campbell Gillards shoulder charge that completely missed the player next tackle tho.
