Some great news for all Rugby League fans

[southerntiger]

Ray Warren was a great caller years ago but I got sick of him when he started to play comedian with his moron sidekick Gould. Maybe this was a call from channel 9 but it makes me cringe. Just call football. I have been praying for years Ch9 would lose the rights to this game.

He was never a good caller. Ray's popularity has always bemused me. I would rather listen to opera and I don't like opera.

Good riddance. He's like the old, rambling dementia suffering grandfather at the dinner table.

Phil Gould who is one of the most astute judges in the game and insists on talking rubbish throughout the game and just enjoys baiting Rabs for his own enjoyment - and makes them both seem like idiots.

This frustrates me too. Just makes them look like 2 senile old blokes in a nursing home.

There was a guy who called a couple of games at the end of last season who was pretty good but I can't remember his name - he is the best of a bad lot.

Matt Thompson?

Yeah! that is him Sabre - I thought he could turn out to be really good.
I think he is better than anyone else for FTA.

Yeah he went well in the games he had.
Personally my preference would be Vossy but I doubt he would do it.

I'd go with Dan Ginnane.

Not good for 'Rabs' ego this forum…....

 

[stryker]

I have never rated him a great caller. He was competent with a unique voice but thats about it. He gets players names wrong constantly and carries on with biased crap.

Gould rarely uses his insight to educate the occasional audience. He uses it to belittle the administration and score points against his foes. He needs to be used properly or given the arse.

Foxtel's stable is good. I hope they continue to improve.

Poor choice of words. I certainly don't want to say good riddance to any dementia sufferer and would be happy to share a dinner table with anyone's ill grandparent.

Vossy for mine. He was great on Channel 9 . Didn't Hadley have something to do with him being shown the door? Can't stand Hadleys voice.

Think so. People hate Hadley, but he wields a lot of power in the game. Power he abuses mind you. Trying to railroad the career of the guy who had shacked up with his ex wife was a low act from old Bolts.

My old man use to punt in the same TAB that the Big Marn would frequent and Brohman shared some interesting stories about him.

Vossy just needs to call the games and drop the stupid what he thinks are funny comments.

Boy Rabs is annoying! I have just muted the TV!

Yeah , I forgot how annoying his voice is ..( too much treble )
Only made 5 mins before i hit the mute button .

Ah Vossy is doing a tremendous job…

 

[radiowave82]

I 😛ray: that Wally Lewis joins him .
Gould should take a hike as well .

Leave the King alone

Long live the King :laughing:

I agree, Wally is alright. **Probably one of the most impartial commentators there is.** Why the dislike?

Except during State of Origin games…

He seems like a lovely bloke and in the right circumstances has a lot to offer but he's terrible calling games. Plus he has that annoying habit of going up high at the 3/4 mark of a sentence and then coming back down again. Great mo though…

Yoss, he should shave that slug off his upper lip and shave his head while his at it. :mrgreen:

 

[Tigermama]

Meh …I have Fox..every game..every minute...add free during play... all in high definition ..no dribblers.well except Andy Raymond..that blokes a dud..

Me too… Great isn't it Geo. :slight_smile:

I don't mind Andy. Would take him over the Odd Couple routine on Nine anyday. Warren Smith the best caller in the game. Knows his product (Rabbits doesn't know half the players apart from their names) and provides genuine insight.

The players names are written down. But Rabs still manages to get them wrong. :laughing:

Ahhh, rub it in Geo… :laughing:

Didn't he used to spruik some spray on hair thing?
