How does Rabs still have a job?

[BranVan3000]

This guy is the biggest jibberer in the history of sport, along with Gould, but at least Gould provides some insightful comments especially when he is away from Rabs.

I can't remember the last time I've heard Rabs say something insightful about a game. Today he talked about how he was going to gt to his State of Origin match, how he drinks Mylanta before a game and how Jeff Lima sounds like he is from the wiggles more than the game

Besides the comedy it provides, and having an iconic sounding voice, his commentary is actually hurting games. If the commentators aren't showing a vague interest in the game, its only going to rub off on the people watching it

Why don't you go to the game if you have such an issue?

 

[LeedsRhinos]

He confused Ben Lowe with Tom Burgess quite a bit considering one is massive compared to the other.

I have exams during the week. Don't have time to spend half a day away from the books.:shock:

 

[Cumberland Throw]

He is 70.

Realistically he would rather be punting and playing golf than sitting at ANZ in the rain

Fair enough. It is terrible commentary but I don't tend to listen anymore.

Or confusing Peni Terepo with Chris Sandow..

So you're another one of those rabbitohs 'members' ?

 

[Parramatta1947]

But he is the Voice of League.......they will never sack him or allow a bad word to be said about him

At least Richie Benaud still knows who the players are

But you have time to start stupid threads?

Its not as if it was a high pressure game. He'll be right on Wednesday.
There is no one better on FTA anyway.

I'm going to defend Rabs on one thing. When you're sitting way up in the grandstand with a pair of binoculars identifying players you are going to mistake one from the other from time to time. Especially when you're calling at the same time.

Apparently according to Rabs SOO is only 2 days away, didn't know they played on a Tuesday night.....

Most commentators call off a monitor

Or confusing Jarrod Croker with Michael Crocker or Jason Croker who hasn't played in years.

 

[IFR33K]

My favourite bit about his commentry tonight was when he started talking about origin on Wednesday.

He continues, by saying it would be a good game in two days, pauses, thinks and states again yes in two days.

Anyway, try calling a game off your tv and see if you get everything 100% right.

Lol, beat me to it.

What has that got to do with anything?

He's an old moron. Never liked him as a commentator. Met him once about 5 years ago, arrogant asshole.
