Most annoying cliche?

[brendothejet]

Last night i heard gus gould say " wade mckinnon is the best support player in the game"

well done, you have just conclusively proven you know nothing about the game of rugby league.

For mine, the most annoying sayings in footy are:

1. Anything that comes out of Laurie Daley's mouth (I know I'm not alone in this one!).

2. (From the SuperLeague) "I think that'll be a T-R-Y / N-O-T-R-Y". Those English commentators really give me the irrates when they spell out TRY and NO TRY ... do they think they sound better by spelling it out?

3. (Also from the SuperLeague) "To be fair ...". I can guarentee that they'll say that at least 3 times per game.

4. See-you-Slater. I'm glad that has almost disappeared from commentators vocabulary. Laurie Daley is the worst culprit in my opinion.

5. Another that appears to be a rarity these days is the reference to Luke Patten as 'the general'. I know it's his nickname, but in it's heyday, every time Luke got the ball or made a tackle, it was "nice run there from 'the general'", and "'the general makes another try-saving tackle". Rarely (at the time) was his name even said.

That's all I can think of at the moment.

You mean the pull.!!!

nope, costigan - aussie - calls it the peel, just like you.

wopati,costo and mcgivor are without doubt the worst commentators in the history of the game.

its better to turn the sound off than listen to them shout sh*t.

you aussies dont know how good youve got it over there.

When panthers won the Grand Final-everyone was calling them "the mountain men!!" or "the big boys from the foot of the mountains!!!"

He has? Care to provide your thoughts on who the best support player is? I don't know who you are, but I'd happily put money down on Phil Gould knowing more about rugby league than you ever will.

"Once Were Warriors" That headline has ben done to death. Also spelling Warriors as Worriers.

And on the support player thing I rate Brett Hodgson over McKinnon personally.

 

[Moffo]

i get a bit sick of the commentators calling Wiki "The Toughest man in the game today"

 

[Parra Guru]

"Justin Time" for any player named Justin

 

[kia ora storm]

"The Warriors are going down town"....when they kick it long.

What are they going to the shops ???...

 

[MKEB...]

another one from costigan..." will he score?will he what"
or any commentator "the little men will play a big part in this game when the big forwards start to tire". Good comment... but every game.

The Kings of rugby league cliches was Rex 'Moose' Mossop. Where is Rex? Does he still attend Manly games?

 

[Renowned League Expert]

Whenever a player changes clubs he always describes his new teammates as a "good bunch of blokes".

Laurie Daley and his "leg speed".

Warren Smith "Rugby League at Leichhardt on Sunday...what more could you want"

 

[Renowned League Expert]

The Kings of rugby league cliches was Rex 'Moose' Mossop.

Not at all. Rex's forte was tautology. eg. "Shulman's a tiny, little diminutive man."

He's making forward progress
