    Andrew Voss' Commentary

    Rex Mossop knew how to call a game of footy. He basically just called what he saw without any gibbering about trivialities and meaningless statistics. Similarly, Graeme Hughes was also magnificent! I think he was really really underrated! Darrell Eastlake was special because of his State of...

    Andrew Voss' Commentary

    You are right when you say the commentator sets the tone. You are also correct when you say that viewers don't want to be told what they can see! I think that is why Andrew Voss gets on so many people's nerves. People can see for themselves a touch judge falling over and a player getting hit in...

    They're not entitled. They are making sacrifices too to give us entertainment. As I've said before, while they are being paid, the continuation of the game is mutually beneficial. Don't forget their are millions of people stuck in lockdown and watching sport is a welcome relief.

    Don't be naïve. What is shown in a picture/advertisement differs greatly to what transpires in real life. If the conditions are so good then why are the players families having issues? I mean it seems an odd thing to make up something like this given how easily it can be verified. I doubt the...

    How do you know this? We've just had reports of families being denied water for 24 hours. I posted the link to the article. I'm not sure if you believe it but I think it would presumptuous to assume that they have everything that they need to being delivered to them. Yes it was their choice...

    Its not a 4 - star hotel room; that is a complete myth. Lets not kid ourselves that players are their families are kicking back and living the life of Riley in there. The fact that players, are at minimum, being forced to duct tape doors shut to deny them getting fresh air is in itself inhumane...

    Granted News Limited has a tendency to distort the truth but with that being said, I believe the articles does contain some validity. Anyone who has been in hotel quarantine will know that the conditions are not great. Hence, it would not be surprising if the families of NRL players are...

    I do understand humane perfectly. The definition of humane is "without compassion for misery or suffering; cruel." I call being deprived of water, food, milk and proper sustenance for babies as being inhumane. Anyone who thinks otherwise is kidding themselves and probably should be sent to a...

    Yeah I am being serious! Have you seen the conditions that the players have been forced to live under? Its not a POW camp but I would be willing to bet that you would be kicking up a stink if you and your family were forced to live under them. Its all beer and skittles until the shoe is on the...

    You make a lot of good points on here but sarcasm in this instance is not warranted. I'm sure you and your family wouldn't like to be exposed to the conditions that the NRL players. It is true that they get paid a lot of money for what they do but that does not make it any easier on the players...

    No I don't that at all. Nor do I think the government has the right to resort to extortion in forcing players to adhere to completely inhumane regulations in order to continue making a living. Lets not get completely hoodwinked by the government here. The NRL is a multimillion dollar industry...

    Again you have to ask yourself why are the passing items between balconies? The answer is because the living conditions were the equivalent of a Thai prison camp. Basically, it shouldn't come down to a question of rightly or wrongly; basic living standards are a right, not some sort of moral...

    News Coronavirus and NRL

    The "rules is rules" mentality is a very short-sighted and narrow minded way of thinking. In order for rules to be effective they need to be pragmatic; you can't simply implement something and then expect people to follow it blindly. Remember, people are not robots; they embody conditions from...

    News Coronavirus and NRL

    Absolutely! I think a lot of these Covid rules are ad-hoc with very little scientific rationale behind them. What that are chances of a player catching or spreading Covid by standing on his balcony? Minimal I would say. What we have to remember is that footy players are human beings and it is...
