The first NRLW try on Saturday involved a wide shift and long-range finish from Tiana Penitani for Sharks. The move was almost over before the lead resumed contemporaneous calling. Allana Ferguson was still talking about a previous play.
Witnessed an even worse example of non-commentary in Cowboys/Tigers NRLW.
Tigers scored a good try, multiple pairs of hands involved in the move. Accompanying commentary went something like "watch every medal, every moment live and free on 9 and 9Gem, blah blah blah, stream 20 channels on 9Now, blah blah blah, tune in for an incredible Paralympics experience now showing on 9 and 9Now".
Once a commentator embarks on a long incestuous promo spiel, literally nothing stops him pursuing it to the bitter end. The RL game currently playing ceases to matter.
