Dale Husband

[Dr Crane]

It should be mah-teh-aw, and that's what Husbsnd says (not Martel, listen properly).

i hear husband saying it as mar-te-yeow, but a lot faster and thus it comes out as martel.

Dale Husband lost me the moment he called Kevin Locke enigmatic. WTF?

He has the vocabulary of a 10 year old.

He probably heard Stray Dog use the word and thought it sounded good.

Lets hope he doesn't start using the word 'mercurial'...that one makes me want to punch commentators in the face.

I hope he wasn't trying to call Locke a 'nig***' :shock: :shock:

234 posts and you are speaking on behalf of this forum? I don't think so.

Dear I say i wish Mcivor would come back to commentary- i find husband painful.

 

[Dr Crane]

woah woah, let's not say things we can't take back.

Apparently Lewis Brown is off to the Tigers...

I don't mind Husband THAT much...he's obviously not as good as the top leaguie commentators but IMO he's as good as their second stringers...just as biased of course but it doesn't grate as much to me as it's in our favour. I can't ****ing stand the Ex Canberra guild of morons. Bunch of utterly biased eggberts who loop like a videogame commentary as bad as Costo

 

[Rich102]

My only comment is I wish the commentators would remember they are on TV not radio. It is said a picture is worth a thousand words; I don't want the picture and a thousand words. Less is more so far as commentators go.

He doesn't seem to understand the game, has poor atention to detail. Even last night there were situations when he had no idea what certain ref decisions were for when it was obvious, so he just made up something.
The whole production is quite poor, they don't replay stuff that is worth looking at, like an analysis of quality set plays etc.
That's the thing I like about Channel 9, they're onto the interesing details in a flash with their replays.

sky league production has always looked cheap..inclusion of HD or not

the darkside must get more funding and i dont watch it>>>league production


costo bring him back i say

 

[SilentOne]

I can't understand how the league production on sky is so terrible, when you watch the Super Rugby in NZ and everything they do is 100% better. from the graphics to the commentary and the analysis, it's just better.

Bullshit

Bullshit

No he's got a point about the lack of replays and Husband failing to interpret some of the action. When things get 50/50 he just leaves the audience in the dark. At least someone like Costo took a stance on the calls.

 

[Micistm]

Speaking of failing to interpret the action, how bout Warriors vs Storm, Inu held round the effin neck by one storm player, the other stripped, no- ripped the ball out. F/wit Daley, even after conceding 'storm were lucky to get away with that' for a fraction of a second, continued to call it a Warriors error for the rest of the night!
There are none so blind...

Oh yeah there's no denying they were just as bad, if not worse.

 

[Wheeled Warrior]

Fact: Dale is better than most of what australia dish up for commentators bar Sterlo, Gus, Voss, Smith. I also like Molan. The rest are like the Auckland Blues form atm Plain Rubbish.

Exactly! He's commentating from an alternate universe. Words are coming out of his mouth but they often have little or nothing to do with what's happening in the game. No wonder ozbash is on his level.
