The likes of James Hooper, 'Crash Craddock', Buzz Rothfield etc. are all news limited stooges who are shoved on tv as a way of giving them exposure in the hope that it will sell newspapers.

I agree

But who in the management or production department of Ch9/Fox Sports is giving them the gigs though?

That is, unfortunately for us, the brain child of those in charge at Fox Sports and Foxtel. They changed all the league shows to rebrand them akin to those used for their AFL Shows so that they have a "common branding" across codes ((that is why we got NRL 360 , and Sterlo became "Sterlo: On the Couch). The same brains trust wanted cross promotion of other arms of New Ltd which is why we are subjected to the ramblings of Kent, Hooper et al.

I agree with you it sux as I can't stand the merkins from the Tele.

Andy "Crash" Craddock....ah, how did I forget about him. He's really risen in the ranks and had a tv series where he got to interview a whole bunch of cricketers like Brian Lara, Glenn McGrath etc. not long ago

I'm not a fan, but his name is Robert Craddock

Anyway, back to Vossy - interesting stuff on Thursdays. What do you guys think ?

He just makes the game so much more fun to watch. Compare it to Rabs where he couldnt even get players names correct and then blurted out a somewhat racist " why are they all called Manu?" line

VOSS FUTURE UP IN THE AIR

ANDREW Voss’ contract at Fox Sports is up at the end of the NRL season. The network has secured chief caller Warren Smith on a five-year deal but Voss was only signed short-term because of past issues at Channel Nine and the fact they were unlikely to want him back.

New sports boss Steve Crawley starts at Fox Sports next month. He is not a fan of Voss, although chief executive Patrick Delany is.

Crawley and Voss fell out when the caller launched legal action against Channel Nine. We will be monitoring this one closely.
