I don't know how to do it, but someone here who knows how to do it should tape and upload more recent calls from Talkin' Tripe....sorry, I meant Sport.

Jamie Ainscough was the other one. They couldn't figure out where he played before Newcastle. I think Hughes suggested it was Easts (he played for Wests.)

Pretty sure Pappy was on that day as well and he didn't pull them up on it either as he was playing at Easts at the same time Ainscough was at Wests.

If they were 1% computer-literate, they could've just simply gone to stats.rleague.com or www.rugbyleagueproject.org to determine that Ainscough didn't play for Easts

Can we add in Blocker?! Shoot me now. I'm in hell.

I tell you what ,after listening to Blocker on Fox last night,I was about to toss the TV out the window.
He screams, yells, and interferes far too much with the commentary.
Now I have a bit of a hearing problem, but even me was at the point of wanting soundproof earplugs and threatening to commit Hari Kari.

His voice is the most annoying, painful, I have listened to ,since TV came to this country, and sheesh I have heard some baduns.It's bleeding mind numbing and Fox doesn't get it.

I cant find it but there was a Hilux (IIRC) ad in 92 with a slogan:

Here's something even Brett Papworth couldn't break!

If you freeze frame the Michael O'Connor shot from the sideline to win Origin 1 in 1991, there is a Hilux ad behind the posts in a similar vein, but it looks like it's in reference to Charlie Saab.

It comes in at about 0:14.

I decided to listen to the first 15 minutes after 5 last night driving home. Still persisting with an intro that feels like it goes twice as long as Clocks itself. Then some "punter" having a whinge about the betting agencies knowing about players pulling out before the 1 hour announcement before kick off. He truly spoke like someone who's tin foil hat was a little too tight around his head.

I will be listening with interest over the next few weeks.

Tunks has favourite hobby horses that he loves to flog to death.

One is his hate for anything Tiger related and a generic "go to" to bag management for anything.
Another thing that he has banged on for ever about is "What the hell are the Steelers doing with Taane Milne?". He has gone quiet of late because Dragons have been playing well but earlier he loved raving about what the hell the Steelers were doing buying Lafai in teh first place and then playing him in front of Taane Milne who is going to be a superstar.

If he raises it at all, I will enjoy him tying himself in knots to describe Milne as a nuffy now he is (reportedly) going to the Tigers.
