Rabs calling it quits at the end of the year?

[Eelogical]

Looks like Ray Warren is calling his last season. Not bad for a 70 something YO.

 

[strider]

Tbh he can be a little painful at times but he loves his footy so gotta appreciate what hes done

 

[hineyrulz]

About 7 years too late, great caller in his prime though.

 

[Kornstar]

Suity will be quite happy.

Amco Cup?

 

[eels_fan]

Rabs is a closet eels fan is he not? Can't think a better way to sign off than an eels premiership

 

[Basil Brush]

Can the other Ray also retire? Hadley is far worse.

 

[Gary Gutful]

About 7 years too late, great caller in his prime though.

Disagree. I think he gets better with age. Will be sad to see him go.

 

[^b0ss^]

i like the guy with his passion for the game but the amount of times he has said he couldnt see a hand in there ....when there was gezzzz.

 

[phantom eel]

Not before time, deserves a good and long retirement.

Hopefully bowing out with an Eels grand final win.

 

[Bigfella]

Once he slipped below about a 30% success rate in getting player names right it was time to go, but he has bravely ignored that for the last ten years.

Way overdue.

 

[Avenger]

Who's going to replace him? Vossy?

Who's going to replace him? Vossy?

In our dreams.

Probably Rayyyyy

Out of the frying pan and into the fire.

Thanks goodness rabs is retiring though. He has been horrible for a LONG time. Obviously doesn't watch much footy anymore, seems to know nothing about teams he doesn't call regularly.

 

[strider]

How many mates does ray hadley still have at 9?

 

[Bigfella]

I don't think it will be Hadley.

His other commitments won't allow him to e as available as they want him surely?

Plus his voice doesn't translate to TV. He has been truly awful.

Not to mention his desire to turn every play into a shock jock talk show inquiry where someone ha to be blamed for any time a ball is dropped or a decision made he doesn't like

 

[parra-matters]

Who's going to replace him? Vossy?

Rumor is ch9 are going to make a play for Warren Smith from Fox Sports.

 

[emjaycee]

Can't they just hire Mark Warren and not tell anyone that Rabs is retiring?

 

[hineyrulz]

Bossy will never go back to nine.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Who's going to replace him? Vossy?

Voss is a gibbon.

 

[Incorrect]

Rumor is ch9 are going to make a play for Warren Smith from Fox Sports.

Warren Smith is about to make ALOT of money in the next few years no matter which broadcaster he signs with. Good luck to him. That should keep him happy while he watches his Tigers at the bottom of the table for the next few years!!!
