And I love Sterlos hatred for the strip rule. Even when theres three players blantantly ripping at the ball and strip it out he always has a whinge.
"That's not a penalty, that's just poor ball security. At some point the onus has to be on the ball carrier...."
That's my pet peeve...
Constantly hearing Gould and Sterling whinging about 'poor-ball security'
What about the fact that stripping has been a rule for a good number of years now! Surely at some point the onus has to be on the tacklers not to rip the ball out!!
I think MG is an awful commentator. Yes he speaks out - but he normally says stupid things that have very little facuality (an americanism for you)...
Daley stinks, Ikin is hopeless
Rabs is very ordinary - his general knowledge of the game is very limited, and his knowledge of the players is also poor. You'd think if it was your job, you might actually watch games OTHER than the ones you are commentating?
Vossy is very good in that regard - obviously he watches the FG matches, the toyota cup, the schoolboys games.
Gould knows his stuff too.
Freeman is totally biased towards any kiwi player on the field - but if you keep that in mind, then hes ok!
