I am not sure what other members think but Ben Ikin has turned into a really decent rugby league commentator. Whilst I do not always agree with him, I do respect his opinions. His NRL 360 show is good viewing. I am also enjoying Peter Sterlings weekly show. Our old boys Gordie Tallis and Mark Gasnier also continue to grow into decent commentators and for some time I have really enjoyed Mark Geyers views. Both Tallis and Geyer are fearless in saying stuff that others think but wont say.
I like getting factual information form the retired greats and for this reason I turned off the Footy Show about 5 years ago. Simply put the Footy Show is more like a Year 10 end of school comedy skit.
Is it just me or is everyone else thoroughly sick of Andrew and Matthew Johns? Tremendous footballers as they were; but Andrew Johns confused and stupid look on his face coupled with his ridiculous off field behaviour makes him seriously boring. As for Matthew Johns I cannot think of a more smug goose currently commentating on the game. For all of the great work the Johns brothers did for the football side on the field I never seem able to find anyone from Newcastle who would give them the time of day. Thats a pretty sad indictment of the two of them.
