Who Should be the new member of continuous call team?

[CliffyIsGod]

The only value that is MG is 99% of the audience is more intelligent than him.

 

[iggy plop]

Whom do you think should join Hadleys call team to hopefully liven things up a bit. I've gone for Tommy. I've left out Greg Alexander, my initial choice, because of his 2 years left on 2ue. I also tried to put WHO CARES? as an option but it didnt take.

Who cares.

Brian Smith

Thats not such a bad suggestion. Brian Smith was involved in 2GB's team when they won the rights to call the games back in 2001. He did a rather good job imo, as did Darryl Brohman, Peter Wilkins, Blocker Roach etc. The following year, Roy Hardley moved across to 2GB and Blocker Roach was the only person he kept.

2GB were great in 2001 ... they called EVERY timeslot possible on Saturday nights (youd hear two, sometimes even three matches back to back) and did Sunday games superbly (without taking open-line calls when there was a blow-out scoreline, ala Roy Hardley :roll: )

Brian smith for 2 reasons.
1. He gets on great with Hadley...
2. He should be available early in the year...

 

[Keefy]

My Vote goes to good old Tommy :lol:

 

[dontmakemeangry]

I wouldn't mind listening to any of the above mentioned but i just heard that big Darryl has got the job, which makes this thread.........CLOSED!

Satts seems like a great bloke but you get the impression he would be bullied by Hadley, Roach and Bozo hence not always saying what he relly thinks in case he irks the boss.

Exactly.

They need someone to shout Hadley down when he's way off the mark, something Frilingos used to do well.
I'd be trying to poach Mark Braybrook from FoxSports. He doesn't mind saying what he thinks and he's very, very perceptive.
Then of course Fox would lose their best commentator and we'd have to suffer through Andy 'Reward Line' Raymond's innane horseshit every week.

*sigh*

as long as warren ryan stays at the ABC then thats all i will be listening to.

You need someone that is contoversial/knowledgable.
Warren Ryan is extremely knowledgable and doesnt mind giving it to players who make mistakes. Thankgod he is on the ABC

i agree, Warren Ryan is fantastic. i'll usually listen to the continuous call before games, and ABC during them.

 

[Kris_man]

damn, i hate Daryl Brohman, in my opinion he's the worst.

 

[ibeme]

I only listen to 2GB when the ABC aren't covering league, and the only if there's a breaking story happening etc.

Apart from commentary of the actual game, 2GB don't seem to cover anything remotely resembling rugby league discussion. It's all songs, and digs at people in the game, Ray standing on his soap box, and people calling up to piss in his pocket or get shouted down. Without Chippy, the remaining commentators are just 'yes' men for Hadley.

I'd much rather seem Moore take over. He talks football.

In the meantime, I'll stick to the ABC for genuine rugby league discussion.

 

[ozzie]

if I want comedy I will watch the comedy channel on Austar - otherwise go ABC . You can only listen to so many 10-4 big buddies without wanting to throw your radio

I agree..2GB in 2001 were great..it's gone downhill from then bar Andrew Moore.

I have to correct you on one thing mate - Blocker was not apart of the 2GB team he was on 2UE with Ray Hadley and Co doing Talking League. John Gibbs was the one on 2GB with Wilko and Brohman. But how the Radio coverage has gone down hill since then.

 

[Jimbo]

Tommy is already a member
Brohman is linked to the Footy Show, so I doubt Hadley would give him a run
Ditto with Mario
And Geyer is just a f*cking idiot

Satts has done a good job previously, so he gets my vote.
