It's not that great, as females they can ask curly questions because theyre not considered intimidating eg Pascoe Taylor and seem like their on your side but like typical females they always fall short on confrontation eg letting Pascoe off the hook with the Taylor sacking.

I can't stand Hannah holis, shes the only one who pretends like she understands football better than the players literally a female Paul Kent

Pitt is the only thing worth watching on it
On the Thursday night show, she adds absolutely no value and is very reminiscent of one of those typical, bitchy high school girls in the movie Mean Girls

nobody involved in the NRL at any level can stand Paul Kent because he's a gutter journalist

If she looked like Amanda Seyfried or prime Lohan I know I'd find her alot more tolerable.
LOL! Good one.

In all seriousness though, her voice on that segment is just.....piercing on the ear drums. It's often said that certain female voices are pleasing to the male ear. Her's is definitely not one of them.

I like hannah hollis, but she does not suit the segment she's on on Thursday night.
The annoying thing is that while she's on they sideline fletch. For all their clown antics fletch and hindy are underrated as game analysis. I'd rather listen fletch and hindy's opinion on things because a lot of the time they cut through the bullshit. It's also why i don't mind Tallis. With Tallis you at least know you're getting his opinion. It may be blatantly wrong, and it may be dribble a lot of the time, but at least his not reading of the company cue cards like almost all fox presenters

Was it just me or did it appear that Yvonne Sampson was not a happy host with Jess Yates taking up a lot of Goulds time?? I know it's New Idea type gossiping but wanted to see if anyone else thought the same.

You know how Fox League has some promos of the cast members/presenters during the ad breaks? Challenge you to listen to the one:

"I'm Hannah Hollis. Rugby League is my job...my PASSION etc. etc."

with your eyes closed.

Speaking of female sports reporters,...everyone seen this? Lol

Another example of this pro left-wing feminist attitude that has crept into sport, wanting to be incorporated into the higher echelons on a 'ladies and gentlemen' basis rather than on talent. Whenever something doesn't go their way, women are somehow always the victim, it's never their fault blah blah blah. Glad Lavar Ball didn't cave in live on air when she started playing the victim.

100% agree with this comment posted on that video:

"Kristine Leahy is a someone who feels entitled to others' respect simply because she is a woman. You have to EARN respect regardless of your gender."

Glad someone uploaded that video, so the whole world can see what a joke she is. Already she's exhibiting personality traits reminiscent of the late-Bourbon Bec. Just wait another 10 years and she will be a full-blown American equivalent of Bourbs!

4 regular panelists is too many for a 30 minute show. Should be 3 max. When you've got too many people on the panel in a short show, it becomes a battle of who can get the most words in, like it was when Ch9 used to have 3 commentators per 30 min stint in their cricket coverage, or when Beauty and the Beast expanded from 4 to 6 panelists. The quality of the discussion suffers as a consequence

When I listen to this (putting that Kristine-Lavar exchange into context), Kristine deserves everything she got. Typical of women who can dish it out in a public domain, but can't take it in return.

Gus needs to stay on 9, keep the garbage together on one channel thanks. I actually don't mind paul Kent lol I agree with him on most things along with Benny. Matty johns and his crew destroy the footy show and it's dick and fart jokes. most on the 24/ channel dominate the 9 crew, Beau Ryan, Fittler, and fatty , wow ....just wow.

I thought last night's League Life was good with Gus Gould on it, and then we had to put up with Queenslanders Only with Crash Craddock trying to be funny by pretending to be asleep listening to Gus. Fk me.

Tried to watch it and found Gus interesting but that blond sheila left me cold so gave up after a few minutes.

They do seem to have interesting guests (Kimmorley last week for e.g.) but I just can't take the girls seriously (those ads with the host flicking her hair and smiling in slow motion, FMD). If others do, good on 'em.

Spot on, though I couldn't comment on BatB, wouldn't watch that drivel.

Raiders v Roosters Prelim Final good classic from 1987 on at the moment - poor David Trewhella trampled by Mal Meninga.

I'm not sure of the situation the nrl has with IP rights with games in the past, but let's hope that when the nrl has a fall library of every game ever played and highlights of tries/tackles, origins, internationals that's when they make a big push in the digital media area. As a paid up digital nrl member having access to that would be awesome. Being able to watch any game and at any time would a big plus.

In Leahey's defence, LaVar Ball is an absolute douche. Guy is putting so much pressure on his son that it's going to be tough for him to live up to. So much of the public are now actively rooting for Lonzo to fail now simply because of his father.
