Most Over Used term in League

[bottle]

Grand Final replay. Only applied in 1977 and 1978.

 

[Boganater]

Grinding out a win

 

[Sans Souci Sainter]

The pluralses of surnames.

I.e: your Mal Maningas of the game. The Ettinghausens, the Uateses

This grates me for some reason.

 

[DeeJ]

The players/media/coaches pretty much use the same phrases every week but the one I hate the most is "he/we've been training the house down."

 

[Cerne Abbas Giant]

baby broncos

 

[ANTiLAG]

Pearce has undeveloped potential

A couple of years back they were all crapping on about "the red zone". Now it's been dropped, thank god. I think the ch 9 commentators watch a lot of American sports TV & aspire to that level of spectacle. Then they start bringing Americanisms into their calls, eg I hear Rabbits talking about defence as "dee fence". I also often hear him talk about "the ball game", things like "now we've got a ball game". That's usually when I mute the volume.

I used to enjoy listening to Hollywood & Zorba in the '80s & one of them would always refer to tactical games as being "chess with football boots". I'd like to see that one brought back.

He's one of the toughest players in the NRL, he doesnt go down unless its something serious- about every player that stays down.

Except Stevie Matai, and Junior Sau/Josh Dugan who are starting to follow in his footsteps. Boys who cried wolf.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

It's a game of inches

Maybe if you are Ron Jeremy

:lol:

I like Americanisms, such as winningest, the ball game, the ball park, the only one that irritates me is Warren Smith's 'And the Tigers will play from in front tonight'.

 

[woodyk2]

[Moffo]

We are still mathematical chances

What, as opposed to non mathematical? ffs

The most Over Used term in ANY football code: "structures"

 

[some11]

Trained well all week.
Have you ever heard anyone admit they had a 5hit week of training?

:lol: For once I'd like to hear someone admit this.

 

[POPEYE]

Definitely the use of 'arhm' at the start of every sentence. Wendell should be banned from tele because of it and Bird should not be interviewed because of it.

Separates conversations between league and union players though
