What? You are are dumb f**k aren't you?

No I are are good f**k.

This chick from aye league is outstanding, also does a great job on the sideline.

:?

Sorry typo.

 

[firechild]

Any chick they pick would know more about rugby league than Tallis. Or at least they would appear to know more since Tallis is incapable of uttering anything coherent. Maybe we just need a fellow Queenslander to translate Tallis' dribble?

WOMEN MAY SEIZE MIKES

FOX SPORTS is finalising its rugby league commentary team and, with negotiations progressing well, it's possible that a deal with Matthew Johns could be struck as soon as this week. However, there could be some other interesting changes afoot. The Last Word can reveal that the pay-TV network is considering using women commentators, which would mark the first time that women have called rugby league. Melanie McLaughlin, an Eels membership ambassador, has done an outstanding job sidelining and hosting A-League games, while Jessica Yates and Sarah Jones have reported from the cricket boundaries during the summer. Potentially, there may be a sideline role for them during the NRL season.

I asked Nine boss David Gyngell last year whether his network would consider women footy commentators. ''It hasn't worked,'' Gyngell said in July. ''I don't see women calling rugby league. Unless there's somebody that comes up, but I've never seen one who does. It's not being sexist, I just don't see it happening.'' Mark Geyer will join the Fox team, while Braith Anasta and Michael Ennis will have increased roles. We've also heard that former Wests Tigers star Joel Caine has been trialled as a Toyota Cup caller for Fox although his role, if any, will be limited due to his 2GB and Channel 10 commitments.

what a dead set wanker. Women have as much ability to call as men as long as they have sufficient knowledge in the game. I have plenty of chick mates who could call a game better than gus f**king gould.

Cliffhanger can do it

What is it with wanting a "token" female?

Makes sense to me what he says. If there's a female commentator good enough for the job they'll stand up. Most of the commentators are footy players anyway who've made the sport their career as opposed to journalism their career. So a female commentator would have to have some very good qualifications, and a dedicated interest, to get a shot.

From what i remember from the RDS broadcast Heléne Pelletier was great filling in for Alain Crête despite her knowing SFA about Hockey
while Claudine Douville and Yvon Pedenault were good in the pbp
only downside was the performance of Sauvageau she was terrible.but other three did a fine job.

If a female commentator is considered, I'd love to see Alana Smith get the nod. It'd be much better hearing her than the Gus and Rabs banter that has become more dry than a dead dingo's donger. Far out! When I heard it again at the All Stars match, I had to mute the volume

This. It's so obviously staged. Painful...painful stuff.

Tiffany Cherry would go ok as a sideline commentator if she converted to League.

 

[seanoff]

Tiff would be in better condition than most of the players.

they might find that a little confronting.

 

[nqboy]

Debbie Spillane was a legend back in the day. Tremendous sideline eye. I wish I could believe the talking heads they will trot out could hold a candle to her.

Magdalena Roze, the on again off again weather lady on ten. Young, confident, smart, knows the weather teach her some footy if the women hasn't already got an interest. Very good at public speaking aswell.
