How does Ben Ikin get a gig as a commentator????

[Wally21]

Proved tonight he is an absolute pretender. Is he looking to date Rapara???

 

[The Colonel]

He gives great gobbies and he has developed calluses on his knees.

 

[Maroubra Eel]

I actually like his commentary. Thought he went well tonight.

The toad should stick to marrying daughters of successful people

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Is Rapara a Queenslander?

I dont mind Ikin on occassions but geez he was annoying tonight.

That commentary reminded me off when we played the Broncos one night and he kept praising Boyd and Hunt.

 

[T.S Quint]

Rapana started the game ok, but lost the plot towards the end.
Ikin got to a stage where he had heaped so much praise on the bloke that he couldn't back out of it.

Every company hires disabled people. Fair work environment.

Is that why we still have Joseph Paulo on the team?

Ben Icanpregnate Benny's daughter was terrible tonight, deserves to be homeless.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I don't mind Ikin. Before tonight, anyway. Was bad.

 

[T.S Quint]

Morgan was good tonight (for a change) but our best?
Punch yourself in the nuts Ikin.

I actually like his commentary. Thought he went well tonight.

Agreed. He knows his stuff and always provides insightful comments. He's good on NRL 360 as well.

I am the same, I reckon he has an 3rd party contract with the raiders. Not once did he give the eels any credit

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Agreed. He knows his stuff and always provides insightful comments. He's good on NRL 360 as well.

Except when he mentions his father and law!!!

 

[Gary Gutful]

Ikin is much better than half the doey ex-footballer commentators. At least he has a brain.

 

[oldmancraigy]

Yeah Gaz, but he was really poor in that game.

He had his Broncos coloured glasses on, everything that happened he was trying to spin it in Canberra's favour, because a raiders win would be better for the broncs making the 8.

But normally he isn't bad at all.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I have no problem with Ikin. But then again, I don't get upset by commentators (beyond the first 5 seconds after they say something dumb) no matter how silly they are. It's not as if they dictate whether we win or lose.

 

[strider]

Agreed. He knows his stuff and always provides insightful comments. He's good on NRL 360 as well.

yeah i don't mind him on nrl360 ... perhaps cos that is alot preplanned he can think ahead and preplan - but during a game shit just blurts out

Are you guys serious? He may have a brain to some degree, but his observations during live games are at time laughable. He is either visually impaired, bias or just has no clue. Sounds credible due to his decent voice and language skills, but generally delivers a lot of nonsense over the course of a game.
