Is it time for Ray Warren to retire? If so, who should replace him?

[MARSHALL ZHUKOV]

Chris Warren will take over

 

[TheFrog]

Chris Warren?
Warren Smith?
Warren Boland?
Johnny Warren?
Warren Zevon?

 

[Brutus]

Mark Warren.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Ray Warren is 104 years old so its no surprise he can't remember players name's and stuff,Ray is going quite well for a 104 year old

[Fangs]

One of the great voices of Australian sport. Only second to Richie Benaud.

Oooooh tuuuurrnnnn it up !

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Passed his use by date a decade ago but for 80s MNF, midweek cup and 90s on 9… he was top of his game.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Thanks for the memories Rabs. I knew this decision would come soon after not calling NRL games lately. I see him around Castle Hill every now and then.

So many great moments of him as a caller. Definitely the best RL caller Ive ever heard. I dont think any of them today live have what Rabs had.

 

[Captain Apollo]

Yep, he's pulled the plug. I agree the past few years had seen some slippage, but I used to love his commentary. Her will be missed. I almost thought he'd do one more Origin match so he could claim he'd called 100 Origin matches. He finishes now with 99 instead. Also has called 45 Grand Finals too. Pretty good for a 55 year career.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Phoned it in for the last decade or so, probably around the the time nine starred blowing smoke up his arse calling him a legend every 30 seconds.

But before that when he gave a damn he made the game you watched come alive.

 

[AdelaideSharky]

It's going to be weird hearing someone else call Origin next Wednesday night for the first time in decades.

 

[Wb1234]

He was good when he was passionate about rugby league … which was probably ten years ago.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Was good in the past.
Stopped giving a shit many years ago.
Should have walked away then.
But people will do things they shouldn't for a truck load of money

 

[Leaguenutter]

His always bin a shit commentary person

 

[gordsy]

For me Graeme Hughes was the best commentator I ever listened too. Rabs was good back in the day but it's hard to know how good he really was given his competition was the likes of Joey, Fatty, Big Mar, Dave Morrow, Andrew Voss and too many other, mongs, merkins and geniuss to name here.

 

[Desert Qlder]

Hopefully this is the last we ever hear of the bloke. Easily the most overrated media personality in the game.

Had a decent period that lasted for about five years in the nineties but even then was woefully biased.

After that he just became incompetent.

Won't be missed.

 

[flippikat]

His career was somewhat soured by that phase when he shared the booth with Phil Gould. After a while they just annoyed each other, and most of the audience too..

 

[Brutus]

Was good back in the 70's, 80's and 90's, but it's been a steady decline ever since.

At least he can retire now as Ray Warren and not Ray Biden.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

I liked the way in later years, he would say less and let the vision tell the story.

Off the microphone, a very good man, years of charity work and the giving of his time to help others
