It's nice they are giving jobs to the mentally challenged. His grunting just means he is happy

His bias is so bad it's actually funny listening to him. So many times Rabs is commentating and Wally just yells out over the top "go you good thing" "forward" "that's a penalty". It's like he's a fan in the stands with a mic

It's crazy how much of a 180 Wally's pulled since being inducted in the Broncos Hall of Fame.

Before 2012, you could almost accuse him of over-compensating and going for the other team to hide his bias - much like Gould but since then he's been throwing a lot more 'oooohs!' and 'go you good things!' into his commentary.

It's annoying and obnoxious but I don't think it's as bad as some of Gould's commentary spells we've had to endure at all levels where he'll outry declare a game shit if he doesn't like it. Tonight, it actually made for a better call that he wasn't there trying to tell some NSW centered story.

Hey blues fans, you enjoy your carved roast, having to sit through the biggest carving in origin history. We smashed the blue wall, in the end it became the bread and butter wall, haha,
losers.
win/win for Queensland again, you guys dont get origin.

Wally is great.

Good to see him pissing off NSW mongs again just like he did in the 80's.

Origin is all about winning the dead rubber after losing the series?

He is told to commentate this way.

It's why you'll also hear arguments between Gus and Rabbs just about every telecast, it's all manufactured, Nein thinks we love it.

This.

"As a Queensland supporter, I'm glad NSW went left on that play"

absolute rubbish, adds nothing to the broadcast.

Wally Lewis is in the Broncos hallf of fame? Honestly?

Struggling to think of what they based his induction on. They were rubbish for the 2 years he played for them and won a damned premiership almost as soon as he was dumped.

Honestly how is this guy a commentator?

So your only allowed to be openly biased if your from NSW? You got a dose of what Qlders have had to put up with for the last 100 origin games.
