Its ok pronouncing the names correctly

Yep. And it's not ok to pronounce them incorrectly. On that basis there should be an outcry during each and every game featuring any of the Australian commentary teams.

There already is, except it isn't for pronouncing them wrong it's for getting them completely wrong altogether lol

Theres Ukuma Ta'ai....and OO koooo maaa taaa ... aaaaaaa iiiii.
Husband doesn't pronounce the names correctly he adds his own geniused touch to them.

 

[Evil_Mush]

Disappointed in no MAAAAAAANUUUUUU when he scored the try.

He is far and away better than any other current NRL commentator regarding the pronunciation of names

well done Sputneek but wholly the Roosters fans in this thread were painful at Bunniesgimp levels.

Great game and two good young teams.

Did anybody else notice Mose Masoe try and leave the field without shaking the Warriors hands? Ben Muts had to go get him - guess he had the red mist lol

Oh f**k off, even the biased commentators thought the calls against us were shocking.

No one is saying it was a shit game of footy or Warriors didn't deserve to win, but we sure as hell didn't deserve to lose and we sure as hell weren't treated fairly.

[innsaneink]

Here's the other old chestnut- under no circumstances are you allowed to pronounce Maori or Polynesian names correctly. Only Australian mangling of said names is allowed.

Yeh cause thats what I said eh? :roll:
Wether its correct or incorrect....my point was comprehending the commentators accent and pronunciation

Yep...the japanese version

You angry bro?
You got a good young team there though.

Monga gets tackles by Rrrrrrrrrropati!

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

Roosters fans are acting like they were robbed because they lost by 4 and got some bad calls.

The reality is they only got within 4 because of dodgy calls in their favour after the Ta'ai/Masoe dust-up, otherwise the margin would've been at least 10. And if it wasn't for the ridiculous Leilua try, that 10 would've been 14. The Warriors were on top for most of the game, you can't wait until after the game and then retrospectively claim you were robbed because the margin ended up close.

 

[Juju]

Lets just celebrate a good tough game.

So your point is it's a problem if you can't understand the names when they are pronounced correctly? But you can understand them when they're pronounced incorrectly by Aussie commentators?

 

[jamaman]

For a commentator who half the time sounds like hes talking italian, the other half japanese...the only players name I could understand him calling was Minichello, funnily enough.

maybe you should stop drinking!:lol:

 

[Geohood]

Braith actually commented in the press conference that the ref apologised later for calling the knock on to Mini and that they should of got someone else to play the ball since he was obviously semi-conscious. Not complaining but I reckon if that's the rule then it's the right one and should be policed that way from now on.

You get dropped on you head as a kid a lot bro?

That brain lesion is sure as hell manifesting itself right now.

Mate just leave it that it was a good game and be happy that you got the 2 points. No need to try and justify yourself.

How about the knock on by Johnson in the lead up to his first try? How about that dud penalty in the lead to.. oh wait that pretty much sums up the lead up to all your tries tonight.

LOL man, I could seriously watch every game commentated by that guy. Please just pronounce it Moh-ga from now on... Monga just sounds awkward even if its the correct pronunciation, same with Tangivey.
