Commentator Cliches

[Rooster8]

"I have a feeling something special is going to happen today"
"I think whoever scores first will win today"
"Whoever is the next to score will win the game" (Said right after halftime)
"There is a great energy here today/tonight"
"The forwards will make or break this game"
"It's up to the backs to lead this team"

Too big, too strong
Barking orders
At sixes and sevens
He's a freak

 

[gunpk]

He will be an origin player

Hodges has a few good ones. My favourite is "hdjf jsidjf ...djshdkhd fjsk"

 

[SBD82]

Surely Wally Lewis’ “dictating terms” is the reason that this thread exists.

 

[TheEroticGamer]

This thread should be renamed “why Warren Smith is a complete and utter wanker”.

 

[redVinme]

All sorts of pressure

 

[ReddFelon]

"Awwwhhhh, that's play on for me"

Literally every time a blatant penalty is committed and Braiff has money on the team that fouled.

"He's clearly offside"

Also Braiff, anytime the team he isn't betting on scores.

 

[Mug Costanza]

Nothing worse than when the score is say 24-6 and they hit you with ‘they need to be next to score here’

Yeah really....

 

[Timbo]

Warren Smith used to love ‘HE CAME FLYING IN LIKE AN EXOCET MISSILE’.

I think Warren must have a DVD box set of Falkland War documentaries.

 

[Hello, I'm The Doctor]

Sterlo and Voss are the only commentators who actually add anything to the broadcast. The rest are just there taking up space....

With Freddy and Joey in particular, you can just tell that they have nothing intelligent to say.

"You could throw a blanket over them" - Gus
"The game is not played in slow-mo" - Johns
"Base over apex" - Hadley

“I'm a stupid moron with an ugly face and a big butt and my butt smells and...I like to kiss my own butt." - Phillip Ronald Gould

 

[carcharias]

Dunno about cliches but I did enjoy listening to Tallis yesterday on triple M as the Broncos got absolutely disintegrated.
He was his usual pro QLD prior to kick off.
Then even he couldn’t find 1 single positive thing to say.
It was delicious.

 

[mozza91]

‘He’s just a footballer’ or ‘He’s a real footballer’.

They’re all f**king footballers.

 

[bileduct]

"Chance their arm"

 

[gUt]

After taking one of hundreds of catches from kicks: "like something from AFL" or "like an AFL player".

 

[justdave]

"You could throw a blanket over them" - Gus
"The game is not played in slow-mo" - Johns
"Base over apex" - Hadley

Base over apex was stolen by Hadley from the great Rex Mossop

 

[myrrh ken]

Moves in, right foot strikes it, straight over the black dot.

Bolts calling the game like a dog race.

 

[Tooooks]

1) Dictating terms.

2) Important play in the context of this game (they feel clever using this even though it’s obviously in the context of that particular game).

3) Everything Blocker says.
