Panel should contain -
All these guys are contracted to 9 so wouldn't be a problem.
Matt Johns
Mark Geyer
Phil Gould
Steve Walters
Having Walters could be a problem because he lives in Brisbane, and Nine might not want to fly him down each week and pay for accomodation - or Steve might not want to.
So if Steve isn't possible then replace him with Jason Taylor, who showed real skill on NRL Winners several years back and in the small segments he's done on the Sunday show.
Gould is the best analyst in the game, bar none
Johns is also a very good analysis and is the funniest League guy, bar none.
Geyer and Walters also have knowledge of the game and have some humour in them
Vautin & Sterling signed new contracts this year until the end of 2007 so unfortunatly they might stay on at least one of the 2 footy shows and in commentary.
Steve Roach would be a good addition as well, but he isn't contracted so they might not be able to get him. And with Roach joining in on Hadleys constant tirades against Gould and The Footy Show, Roach isn't exactly giving himself any favours if he wants back.
