Commentators in the last 100 years

[PARRA_FAN]

I wondered if we can name as many commentators in the last 100 years or in history, who have called every NRL game whether on TV or radio. So far Ive come up with:

Frank Hyde (2SM)
Ray Warren (2GB, 2SM, Ch10, Ch9)
Rex Mossop (Ch7, Ch10, 2UE)
Ian Maurice (Ch9, Ch10)
Darrell Eastlake (Ch9)
Graham Hughes (Ch10, NZL)
Jim Maxwell (ABC)
David Morrow (ABC)
Warren Boland (ABC, Fox Sports)
Ray Hadley (2UE, 2GB)
Greg Hartley (2KY, 2GB)
Peter Peters (2KY, 2GB)
Billy J Smith (Ch9, Ch10 Brisbane)
Alan Thomas (Ch 9 Brisbane)
Andrew Voss (2UE, Ch9, 2GB)
Warren Smith (Fox)
Greg Clark (Fox)
Eric Young (Optus, Fox)
John McCoy (Fox)
Mark Braybrook (2UE, 2GB, Fox)
Andrew Moore (2UE, 2GB)
Peter Wilkins (ABC, 2GB)
John Harker (2GB)
Andy Raymond (Fox)
Terry Kennedy (Optus, Fox)
David Tapp (Fox)
John Casey (Fox)
Anthony Maroon (Triple M)

So far we've got 28 callers named, there is others Ive missed, but remember their names.

Even if they had one stint as a commentator like John Casey did in 2002, they still count.

I actually meant those who called the games, although in that list Im pretty sure John Gibbs was calling for 2GB.

I'll also add Craig Hamilton and that Kiwi commentator who calls the Warriors games on radio.

I think Parra_fan is referring to 'main callers', not the other commentators (as with that, you'd be able to come up with a huge list of them).

 

[griffo346]

mate most of these would be co-commentators hence you dont have one guy who calls a game on his own

 

[Knight87]

oh, and on the topic of main callers:

Mike Rabbit (NBN - use to call Knights games not on Ch9)
Benny Pike (WIN - use to call Cowboys games in '95 and '96)
