Ray Hadley

[undertaker]

Can't imagine Ray calling too many Canberra matches. We could see a punch up on the sidelines. Interesting , very interesting

You obviously knew something a month well before everyone else did. Congrats! May I ask how you found out about this?

f**kwit is in the business of putting peoples personal lives in a showcase, and now he's having a cry because karma is finally coming around.

Please respect Ray's private life everyone.

As much as he respects the private lives of people.

Hang on.

EXACTLY! Well said both of you

Btw has Hadley become an honorary QLder now that he calls the Broncos games.

Maybe we can get in contact with QLD premier Campbell Newman to negotiate something with this. Maybe 2GB can offload him to 4BC in Brisbane (if they have one) and can leave him there to bore and infuriate the crap out of QLDers with his talkback radio show and keep NSW Ray Hadley-free.

Matt Parish can get intimate with her without thinking about the big headed kumquat who previously visited her lady cave? That I would consider "Origin toughness".

:lol:

On the back of one of the most heartwarming stories of the last few years, namely that Raaay's mrs is being chopped by the man who single handedly murdered more overlaps than John Morris and cost Wayne Pearce victory wearing the no 7 in his final game at Leichhardt before junior did a lap to Taylor dayne's love will lead you back, can anyone tell me what this dinosaur brings to commentary

Some raaaaaaaaaay-isms
- leather perfect (we've have synthetic balls for about 20 years)
- wing threequarter
- quarter way line (is 20 a quarter of 100 now ??)
- fresh reserves (as opposed to those who are on the bench but played under 23s and reserve grade earlier in the day)

In light of his spat with the nswrl I can bet the great man is onto the head honchos at big league to bring back the asterisk when big league used to have * denotes imported player and if he wants Munsie or Jamie Rodgers replaced by Johnny croucher

Would give raaaaaaaaay a chance to say parra were better when all these flamin immigrants didn't play and that if abbot stopped the boats and these imports were in villawood the game would be better.

I hope the turd overdoses on Zoloft and Valium and Matt parish has done more for rugby league in the last 3 months than he did whilst playing if he gets raaaaay of the tv and/or radio

Let's talk about knitting and play songs about how ugly Barry Gomersall is rather than talk footy.

Hadley saying "smokes and mirrors" is always worth a laugh.

My favourite was when he said "I'm not a rocket science"

Just get the clown off the Friday night channel 9 games.

I will not watch the broadcast because of him. His commentary is woeful.

We may have to get used to it. He's in line to replace Rabs when he gives it up.

If that happens channel nine should lose viewers.


They'd be crazy to put someone so divisive in their lead role.

 

[whall15]

I'm hoping when Rabs retires the NRL will go to a different network.

Next minute Andrew Bolt is commentating Friday Nights on Ten... :lol:

Does anyone know if theres any problems between Ray Hadley and Andrew Moore?

Andrew Moore used to host and call the game on sundays.. but recently Ray is back hosting on sundays without explaining why.
Moore calls games on Friday and saturday nights (5:30)
Ive been listening for the past few weeks.and i have noticed Ray have not mentioned Andrew's name
on saturdays , he used to cross to Andrew a few mins before the game to get team changes. etc.. but
For the past few weeks. they have not done that. last week before Ray signed off his show at 5pm . all he said was "Blocker(co- commentator) will be back after the break " and did not mention Andrew Moores name but he kept repeating the commentators doing the 7:30 game throughout the afternoon.
and Ray also mentioned he will be calling the grand final this year(on 2GB). when Andrew's been calling the past 2 years.
During the week i heard the ad promo for state of origin. and they replayed some call highlights of previous games. and only Ray's voice was heard.
and today i heard Ray say "we will be broadcasting the game on wednesday night. "without mentioning who is going to call it
and today Ray is hosting on radio and then leave at 3pm to commentate for channel 9, and Mark Levy will be filling in for Ray when Andrew Moore was the first choice for the past few years..

It's interesting to read from this old thread that even back in 1996, fans weren't warming to the idea of Ray Hadley calling games for Channel 9:

[PARRA_FAN]

Geez 1996, I didnt know the internet was around back then. :lol:

Some peoples opinons havent changed over 18 years. Hadley is still hated, Vossy and Warren Boland are rated highly and Ch 9's commentary is ordinary aside from Sterlo.

Noticed the same thing.

 

[abcde]

listening to ray this morning. he made a brief mention the stations broadcasting the game tonight that was it. didnt say any more. normally you try to plug your own stations announcers as much as you could . it was obvious he was avoiding something

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Is this guy Andrew Moore doing Ray Ray's ex too?

Am I the only one who saw Parish on his mobile towards the end of the game and wondered if it was making a call to the former Mrs Hadley to tee up his lil celebration party later that night? Hope Ray did.

I saw and thought that too. Also imagined Ray furious at seeing Parish on tv (not too mention the result)
:lol:

Matt Parish is great for rugby league.

I love seeing him on the TV.
