Lets face it, it's what we as fans want, both sides of issues being debated properly, and not just a panel agreeing with each other.

I agreed entirely with Daley. People tune into that particular show for a wrap of the games, not 5 minutes of Smith and Pearce rambling on about two referees. Thats for the Wednesday show.

FTR, my wife and I sat through extremely p!ssed at Smith and Pearce, we watched to see a wrap on the Warriors beating the Storm, which we thought was a good achievement, only to see them talk about refereeing issues, and Manu Vatuvei's handling issues.

I'm sick to death of that show, either the Warriors are on last or second to last, or if they're promoted up the show it's always a bag the Warriors contest irrespective of the result, an excuse as to why the Warriors won, or a refereering error that won the game for the Warriors, or their match takes up 3 minutes flat and is mostly about the other team irrespective of the result. It used to be good, now its jibberish. I think part in part thats what Daley was alluding to, people are watching to watch what happened, not mindless debate.

That seemed to be happening a lot to the Raiders as well earlier in the year. I hated it, especially when they completely miss out important sections of the game that you would expect them to talk about in favour of going on and on about one tiny little thing that, in all honesty should barely rate a mention.

Warren Smith it seems is starting to let his ego get away from him.

No surprises there. At least we ain't alone.

I noticed earlier in the year Smith spent a lot of time ribbing Daley on his hair. I mean, FMD, who cares man. Give it a rest.

He's slowly but surely on the slippery slide to being as a good a commentator as Ray Hardley.

Daley has an annoying accent in his voice but he's pretty much spot on with everything he says that isn't st george illawarra related.

Daley and Smith get on together. Yes they have debates on issues, but thats good. Better than a love in like the thursday footyshow.

Ditto for the Sharks. Pisses me off waiting for most of the show and they dedicate a third of the time for our game as they give to others.
