For those who listen to talking sport on 2ue.....does anyone else think that Johnny Gibbs should replace Peter Bossley on a permanent basis?
I think he's a much better broadcaster because he actually has a firm opinion in an articulate manner and just makes the show more exciting overall.
I think the problem with Bossley is that he tries to talk on a variety of topics even when the general public don't want to. He pretty much talks about other sports (other than league)just for the sake of it. Johnny Gibbs tend to do this if people want to go away from league. I also think he's kind of boring. Don't know why but maybe it's because he's too nice to people. Who would you guys say is the better host. Gibbs or Bossley?

I like Bos but I see what you mean. Gibbsy does tend to gibber a bit, but he does have a firm opinion and isn't afraid to stir the pot unlike Polyanna Bosley.

The second half of the show when Bos is on isn't worth listening to because as you say the crap sports come on. I like golf, but you'd think it was our number one spectator sport thanks to Pete.

Brandy and Gibbsy go well together, but Bos is ok and I've heard him say AFL a few times so you can't knock that.

I'm a regular listener, have got an hours + drive home from work each night so I hear most of the show. I reckon Gibbs & Brandy are the best combo.

I don't mind Boz, but he rambles often and all too often contradicts himself in his personal views. In saying that, he does add an element of universal knowledge of all sports. My main love is league, but its still cool to hear bits and pieces of whats happening around the planet - and Gibbsy, Brandy haven't got the knowledge of Boz in this regard.

Any man that refuses to work with Roy Hardley is ok in my books and a good judge of broadcasting talent. Well done Gibbsy.

Johnny Gibbs is the best Rugby League radio personality around.

I used to love his comments when he was calling the games.....

"He should have been treating that sideline like a precipice"

One of your best Gibbsy.



Gibbsy and Brandy for sure.

Gibbs is a massive gibbering tool who has absolutley no knowledge of any other sport except league(for which he has very little). He is the luckiest man on earth to be actually on our airwaves. He cannot argue with a caller, he just resorts to names. He has never actually brought anything to the table, ie, an idea, he just re-hashes everyone elses thoughts. I refuse to listen to 2UE when that bloke is on.
As for that little Brandy joke, when will his bloody voice break.....He squeaks and sqauwks his way through a sentence. FFS hurry up and let your balls drop....Oh and stop letting your wife dye your hair. You look silly, we are all laughing at you, you boggle eyed twit.

Peter Bosley is the bext man for the job.

Gibbs is a wanker! he his the worst media personality on Radio/TV. I can't stand the Manly prick & wish he would just piss off. Bossley & Brandy are good bythemselves.

I prefer Bosley..Gibbsy struggles at times to put four words together and has been shown up at many times in reporting incorrect information.

..Brandy is ok

I like all of them so it doesn't bother me who really hosts the show. I think Gibbs know's more about League than Peter but I think Boz knows more about other sport. Brandy's great.

Just on that, it was sad to hear the news that Peter's wife died today, condolences go to him and his family.
