I really miss Vossy

For what it's worth, there was a reference to "statue gate" in Ray Warren's book. In summary, when it all blew up, Voss contacted Rabs and advised him to watch what he said on Sunday Roast, with the view that Hadley was taking it out of context, etc. Rabs' response, as I recall, was that he didn't need to do that and didn't care what people were saying about it. But then again, there is a whole chapter dedicated to blowing smoke up Hadley's ass, so interpret that any way you will...

He is only a fill in for 2UE?

I swear Ive heard him a few times this year on that show. I dont listen to it as much as I used to it. Do they still have the Saturday show?

I remember he was on that with Warren Smith and also Tim Webster (ex Ch 10 newsreader).

Seeing that Gyngell is great mates with Hadley,

And hadley has blackbanned Vossy forever,

I dont think we will ever see him at ch 9

Chances are this guy will take over, and the dynasty will continue

Gyngell knows what its like to get a job based on your dads name,,,

No chance of Vossy being back on Ch9, or least in the near future.

Raaaaayyyy wasnt calling much for Ch 9 towards the end of the season, it was basically Tim Gilbert or Mat Thompson calling the 2nd games. Gilbert was painful to listen, but Thompson I can handle.

Its good that Fox Sports took Vossy on board and called NRL games besides Warriors matches.

Called up for his quiz tonight. Got wrong "benji won the 05 churchill medal, true or false". Damn. The last 2 questions were easy as too :(

Mate sure was, can't remember the first question. Second was Kelly slater 11 or 13 titles. Third was the churchill and i the though process was "set up great try, surely he got it". 4th question was did ponting beat england 5-0 which would have got and last one was is a netball goal worth 1 or 2 points...

If i got that third i would have got it for sure, what's the prize?

Caught the game and I have to say that Rabs is being given preferential treatment by nein atm.
Vossy was footy relevant, accurate, fair, informative, funny, and never once mentioned the colour of the carpet in the bistro at Bathurst leagues club, or argued about his co-commentators understanding of the rules.
Bring back Vossy !

Generally I like voss but since hes been calling the warriors this year he loves backing the opposition. He does the same against the kiwis always expecting/hoping we lose

Spot on. The difference in commentary between NZ-Samoa game and the other 3 matches in this tournament is like chalk and cheese. Voss is so far out in front it's not funny. The jokey blokey garbage that followed on sunday from Rabs and co was embarrassing by comparison.

Hopefully since the final is being played in NZ, Nine will carry the Voss commentary again

He should be fox leading rl commentator. Another outstanding job at the NRL nines. He always does his homework and knows interesting facts about players or the venues.
