James Bracey as a host = zero opinions

Matt Shervo as a host = zero opinions

Ben Ikin = Fence sitting, give both sides of the argument non-opinionated nerd.

Vonny follows the same tried and tested formula and merkins are critical of her for not having an opinion. Why weren't you all critical of everyone else?

If the criticism is that she is a giggly air-head then thats fine, but to be critical of her for not giving an opinion makes zero f**ken sense.

None of the others host NRL360 permanently, so your argument makes zero sense. Apples with apples pal.

Yes, Ikin could be a fence sitting nerd, but he also would insert his view subtly along the way in a discussion or when he felt more strongly about a topic would outright state his mind. She and none of the others can or could, that is why none of the others you have mentioned would be suitable either. As for the giggles, that's just like a dark pube sitting on top of your mash potatoes kind of thing.

This show is the flagship RL show, there is no room for passengers, sorry. Get an opinion Vonny, or off with your head. 🪓

I have been watching every episode, and every time Vonny has made host comments, or expressed an opinion, I have put Ben Ikin in her place and wondered what people would think if he made the same comments. I've come to the conclusion that honestly, she hasn't been much different to him, both in his/her host role, and his/her comments role.

I believe that most opinions on her performance so far have been based on preconceived biases against her. To those that commented about her weight gain over the years, well that's just childish. What does her weight have to do with her abilities as a host?
She is actually a polished performer as a host, and will only get better over time.
I had my doubts over Fox's choice of her to host this show, as opposed to some blokey bloke, but I've been pleasantly surprised at how smoothly she has fallen into the role.

Well I am opposite to this. I actually thought that she was a great choice and was looking forward to her being the host. I remember when she filled in when Ikin went on his Golf junket and she did a stellar job, so I definitely wasn't biased against her. I have always liked her and she has always been my favourite presenter to be honest. But something has happened and she is not the same as she was. She has turned into a lightweight. It's not just the lack of opinions either. Her style has subtly and not so subtly changed and not for the better.

Sorry I can't agree with your assessment of her presentation. She just sounds like a loud QLDer that knows very little now and can be a little grating. I really hope she gets back to how she used to be.

I think Lara is well informed but boring. Vonny is a better presenter.

The bit that I find funny is that Ikin gets replaced with a non-opinionated host and people are critical of her for not being opinionated. It was never going to happen...and it never was happening.
