Interesting one Hodges. I've heard him one time in the commentary box (rather than his usual sideline spot) and although rough was actually understandable and gave good insight into what was happening in the game. It may have helped that he wasn't teamed with the other Queensland dunces.

Kevvie is horrible. Parker is the worst of Fox's mob and second worse to Hadley over all. Bias, crying wanker who makes Steve f**king Roach seem like Sterlo in comparison.

On a positive, Buderus is getting better every week.

On nines coverage last night Joey was blowing up about a quick tap being called back. The crux of his argument was "who cares if there is a player in front of him". He was getting all twisted out of shape about it as well. Sure Joey, who cares if the ball is passed forward as well or the offside rule generally. Why dont we leave the rules up to the coaches who have ruined the game?
The standard of commentary is possibly at its lowest ever. The complaining about the bunker is the worst part of waiting for a decision. The stupid direction Joey and Gould want rules and refereeing to go in and their constant agenda pushing is just off the charts.
I would rather listen to advertisements.

Gould and Joey make it just about unwatchable.

Betsy is great unless Newcastle are involved.

I heard, didn’t watch it, that Fittler on the Sunday footy show had a whinge about the use of the HIA. Hello.... Lebanon at the last World Cup? Worst use ever.

Channel 9 still relegating it's weekly Monday night show to the very late 10pm timeslot! It's wrong. This show should be on at 8pm on a minor channel. But I get the feeling they don't want the rugby league programme to offset their audience on the main channel. It's farcical!

Seems like a solid business decision.

Lol. This is a rugby league website. Underachievement and unfairness by and toward this sport deserves a mention no matter how ambivalent one is toward this great code.

Unfairness?

Yep. Unfairness . Compared to other codes the free to air coverage is poor. If you have a sport that is continually a proven tv ratings winner, you don't shabily treat programs that complement the sport. This late timeslot is not a good or fair airing policy for rugbyleague on channel.nine. If you think this fair on this flagship code, we as per usual: DISSAGREE!

Channel 9 are out to make money not promote rugby league. Why would they split their audience?

Promoting Rugby league does make money! It's a very attractive sport deserving of a comprehensive user friendly coverage.

? The NRL should be shown on FTA tv all season long on Friday, Saturday and Sundays . Thursday is not necessary. Twisting and misinterpreting someone else's comments is a feature of many of your comments.

Thursday is tv friendly though that’s not twisting anything.
