Fair dinkum, i find it hard to rate this bloke. He's Sydney-centic, he's never bothered doing his research about teams outside Sydney. And as the most talented half and biggest under-achiever of his generation (rep-wise), I was mystified and pretty happy when Freddy appointed him his advisor or whatever his title is.

Is he that smart?

He is a god, and I won’t hear a bad word about him!

(Without Panthers bias, he can be a little cringe at times, he’s not the worst commentator though)

I swear this guy started a thread asking why Alexander didn't play more for Australia just a few weeks ago.

I like watching his reactions when they talk about his time at the warriors. Looks like he wishes he could just erase that from history

Can be a pain, but usually on the money. Far superior to guys like Ennis and big Braith.

He has said some ridiculous things, but I put that down to vicarious stupidity from the rest of the Fox Sports crew. Could you imagine deal with Anasta and Roach on a regular basis? That would deteriorate the brain functioning of most.

The standard of commentary at Fox and Nine is dire.

You've got the decades past it's used by date 'who's on first' routine between gus and rabs and if you switch over to Fox you get ear raped by roach.

You can't win.

I'm pretty sure he can't stand Saints.

All because Linnane eye-gouged him.

What a fu(king sook.

Ennis can be insightful at times, he's also a major drama queen which means he'll go far in media.

Ennis has been a drama queen since his playing days.

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

Aahhh Hodges, now we're at the very bottom of the barrel,

Surely Justin Hodges was given a job out of sympathy, the blokes dumber than a lamp post and can barely string a coherent sentence together, the commentary is cringe worthy cliche.

Hodges makes Greg Alexander sound like Einstein and Archimedes love child.

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.

I love him. All commentators are biased, but brandy is up front about his. He loves the panthers, he hates a few choice clubs, and it’s all obvious. I also like that he has clear allegiances to his mates kids. He always had a soft spot for Pearce since he is mates with Wayne. It all just makes him come across as a genuine bloke.

Other guys like Ennis or Marty Johns are just as biased, but theirs is for whoever happens to be punching their cheques that week. I can’t stand bought “loyalty” like that. They also try to hide it behind being just objective commentary, which is trash.
