I think foxsports must have a quota system. x amount of qld'ers must be on the commentary team. Honestly, it can be the only way Hodges/Mal gets a gig.
The queerlanders where whinging years ago about the nsw bias in the commentary team.

Bias, location centric & moronic gibberers you say. Agree 100% although Kevin Walters, Corey Parker & Justin Hodges all wanted to say hi.

Hmmmm. You might be onto something here. Maybe there is some sort of connection between the Brisbane Broncos and Foxsports. I can't quite put my finger on it but I've often wondered how three absolute dullards, who all played for the Broncos, can wind up in a gig that you would think requires charisma, knowledge and personality. Maybe that fine and reputable publication the Courier Mail or Daily Telegraph will investigate it.

I swear that I can see the tip of his erection poking its eye at us during Panther post game discussions this season.

I was few beers deep in my OP. My question was more that I've never seen him as a keen analyst a-la Sterlo etc so I was pretty happy when Freddie brought him on board for NSW as I thought they won't get much from him.

Clearly, he had a bit to offer (or maybe just the passing of the Maroons' golden generation) and occasionally I hear him make worthwhile comments these days, still mixed in with plenty of dross IMO.

A while back a Shark got sent for 10 so Shaun Johnson managed the clock down with conservative sets that finish with a kick into touch.

Brandy and Blocker carried on and had no idea why Johnson kept kicking for touch. One I didn't expect an understanding from, the other was a rep halfback. Embarrassing.

For starters anyone with a paid roll within a club should not be commentating.
Back on Brandy, he does have an axe to grind against the Dragons though..

In a cracking field of commentary boors, Alexander is a clear winner of the worst commentator in 2021 by a mile.

There may be worse on channel 9 but I haven’t watched them in ages. I’d rather watch a highlight reel of Paul Kent spitting lemon seeds in mindless self-righteous rants on loop for 80 minutes...

But when Alexander has a microphone.., there’s nothing more mind numbing, and yes I include Braith Anasta.

Does anyone like this bloke in commentary?

This isn’t Fight Club and I wouldn’t howl at anyone who does, I’m genuinely interested to see if anyone values what this bloke spits out week after frigging week, and why.

If it ain't Penrith or NSW, he doesn't have a clue and can't be bothered doing his research. Hard to say if he's worse than Bwaith or several others, it's like saying one steaming turd is less offensive than the others.
