to be fair A John called the SOO 2014 first game, 'for NSW to win Jarryd Hayne has to be man of the match'.

Cowboys v Bulldogs at Dairy Farmers circa 2005. SBW was on the sideline and the Ch 9. cameras deadset stayed on him for half a minute while the game was playing.

.

Out of the many many horrendous wankfests channel 9 has produced this one stands above the rest. Matt Johns “it isn’t a surprise that the dogs score as soon as sonny comes into the field”

He came on the field for somone who cane off injured and was 40m behind play running into position when the dogs scored a tackle later

Rabs & Blocker/Dumb & Dumber

1998 Prelim. "Id imagine Parramatta will go in against Brisbane next week with a reasonable level of confidence"

TBF the way that game was going 3 Bulldogs tries in 10 minutes looked almost impossible

How many times has A Johns talked up some starchy plodder after a handful of games as a future origin player who turns out to be nothing much.

In fairness, anytime Blocker opens his jowls and it’s not to consume a drum of lard, you know he’s going to come up with some profoundly stoopid nonsense. Dumbest commentator ever.

How he gets a gig is beyond me. Cannot stand the sight of his melon or sound of his voice. A-Grade F***tard.

Just watching 2011 Round 25, Sea Eagles v. Storm (the battle of Brookvale) when something Gus said, while gushing over DCE and Foran, made me laugh.

Rabs: Gee, you know, this combination of Cherry Evan's and Foran, they've been thrown together this year and everybody was confident, but they're playing with such confidence. Theyre playing like they've been together for donkeys years.

Gus: Well, you, you wait until they've been together for donkeys years. I just, I cant imagine what it'll be like in 4 or 5 years time when these kids are at their peak. Having played together all that time, provided they're, they're injury free, and we certainly hope they are, but this is, I think, a real legendary combination in the making.

Sterlo: its they're decision making as much as anything.

With they amount of dribble the commentators (especially Rabs, Gus and Ray) go on with, there would be any number of such comments, that in hindsight, are pretty funny or abject failure. Any spring to mind?

They were a pretty darn good combo. They definitely played their best footy together....DCE had a decent year this year though.

any Ray Warren calls in the last 20 years. Getting names wrong and talking himself up as an expert on the rules.
Any Gould call ever, doing his best to make Ray Warren sound clever

The following is not from any game in particular, but many.

(Imagine a try for the highlights reel is scored)

Rabs: OHOHOHOH! OHOHO!

Gus: WOW!

WOOOOOOOOOOW!!!

How does he do that?

HOW





DOES






HE







DO THAT?

Rabs: We've got Blocker Roach on the sidelines, what have you got for us Blocker?

Blocker: Team who score more points will win. Team who win need to remember football 80 minute game. Second half going to come down to who digs deep. Me hungry. Me want KFC.

Rabs: Thanks for that, Blocker.

Wally: Look, I think this half it's really going to come down to which team can dictate terms.

Gus: Look at the crowd here today/ tonight. I'm tellin you, there's no place I'd rather be than (insert stadium name) on a Friday night/ Sunday afternoon...
