TBA Carroll cracks me up every time his interviewed. He is horrendous.

Mark Mclinden was one guy who was, and I can only assume still is, reasonably well spoken, though maybe a little cocky.

I'll give a wrap to young Benji Marshall too.

I thought he was pretty good on NRL on Fox. Quite a smart young man with a level head on him.

This reminds me of an interview I saw of Tim Smith, where he didn't know what telepathic meant, I laughed. Great education system Parra are sending him through!

They don't teach anything in schools anymore! Not since the left-wing intelligentsia took over.

The worst was Anthony Mundine, 9/10 things that came out of his mouth were grammatically incorrect.
"I'm da man"
"ya know bra"
"Nobody compare to da man bra"

It was a linguist worst nightmare.

"So um yeah its choice coz like so I like playing with the fullas, I learn heaps off the old fullas and um yeah"

Neither is Toopi

"Playing 100 tests for the Warriors.." If anyone seen his post match speech on Fox after playing his 100th first grade game, he repeatedly said he'd played 100 tests.
LOL:lol:

Gotta love the Kiwi's.

Btw, i think you mean "tists", not "tests".:)

Petro Civoniceva is suprisingly good, Sam Backo is probably one of the worst I have ever heard.

Petero is good. The unos do creep in a bit.

Bobby Linder, Badge and ET were some of the best from the past.

Mark Coyne is a renowned smart dude, but I always found his mouth was moving too fast for his words.

Btw the best, although not a league player, is Jason Akemanis. A natural.

He rambles on like a 13 year old chick with her first mobile.

Saw him on the AFL footy once. Let's just say there were no full-stops.

Slammin Sam Backo was hilarious....I remember him getting a MOM award and they shoved the mike in front of him and it was live....he must have said the F word about a dozen times in a minute......he was even starting to cover his mouth and look sheepish.

Absolute gold.....I hope he apologised to his mum.

Ty Williams speaks pretty well too.

And considering both of them look like they've been whacked with a brick, Petero and Webcke are very articulate.
