Much better commentary...

in the Canberra vs Brisbane game. A welcomed change from the "Rabbits and Gus" show with a dash for rugby leauge thrown in there somewhere. I don't give Voss many raps though I liked the rapport he had with Sterlo and The King.

I watched an old 1995 game the other day with Ray Warren and Phil Gould in commentary - they actually put the game first and it was first class. Ray was focused on calling the game and Gould was insightful not laying claim to being the guy who invest Rugby League.

Andrew Voss is a f*ckwit.........

so is Gould

Ideal commentary team for me, well, one that would be available for us free to air viewers is IMHO Rabs, Sterlo, Fatty and the King

side line commentry? Joey's taken one to many ekkies to make any sense. Freddy's half pissed all the time ....or so it seems

uhmmm..........

Freddy Fittler is the greatest sideline commentator of all time. Some of the stuff that comes out of his mouth is hilarious.

That game had sh*t commentating, full with Voss talking about peoples backsides and hair. That has nothing to do with the game, as soon as he gets hit by a bus the better for all Rugby League fans.

The entire Channel 9 team, except Freddy, has lost the plot.

:lol:

The commentry was okay last night - maybe it was just me as a Broncos fan but I did detect a slight Raider bias as the commentators spoke a lot about the game in their perspective and only started giving the Broncos credit in the last 10 or so.

IMO Rabs is getting worse. Would prefer it if they got somebody else. Sterlo and Fatty are still good, Vossy can be good, Gus is great at providing insight. Sideline wise Freddy is brilliant. Maybe move Wally into the box to replace Rabs?

Keeping in mind, I am picking the best from the Channel Nine stable. I much prefer the commentary teams on FoxSports. Each to their own. As it stands, I much preferred the second game last night if only because the Rabbits and Gus show was on hold. As for the sideline guys, you can't go wrong with any of the legends Channel Nine have in Johns, Fittler and Lewis.

Yes, Gould is brilliant when focused on calling the game and giving insight. The whole "Rabbits this, Rabbits that" and BS debate that is trivial nonsense I can do without. Again, just me.

The thing that annoyed me in the Eels/Panthers game was the constant talk about other sports. Seriously, shut up.

+1. What was all that stuff about Rosehill???

"We've had some fun there haven't we Rabbits"
"What, what happenned? (Johns)
"Well, that would be telling ha ha"

Hmmm, it sounded downright suss not to mention that they failed to call any plays in almost an entire set of six. Seriously, get Warren Boland on the blower Channel 9

Gus was f**king pathetic last night. Rambling on about the cricket and races. Sounds like he doesn't give a sh*t about the footy.

I'll never forget his commentary during the Aus v Eng 4 nations game last year. He virtually said "get this rubbish off and let's go to the cricket".

As a Broncos fan, in glad the the 'QLD' friday night game is usually spared from Rabs & Gus. I like others cant stand the dribble from those two. I much prefer Voss and Sterlo any day.

the entire channel 9 team sucks tbh
but i dont mind vossy for the play by play stuff, when he does it that is

at least vossy takes the time to learn the names of the teams he's calling
if rabbits has to call a game that involves a team outside the sydney area, he's fair dinkum lost... which as a commentator, i would think is highly embarrassing and very unprofessional.

Raaaaaaaay is an absolute twat but he's the best play by player caller, and then its Warren Smith imo

I was sitting there last night shaking my head at Voss. I personally can't stand the blokes' commentary.
