Retiring a Jumper !

[Mr Saab]

bingo!

he just made the correction.

boy does he look like a fool!

GOOD!
The guy is a 2 colours short of a fruitloop box.
He really needs help as a league caller too. Deadset he struggles.

Charming comment on a guy who has had mental health issues and is a bi-polar suffer i think

 

[Mr Saab]

I retract that statement then.

 

[gregstar]

well done charlie.

craig hamilton is terribly biased, but i think he's done a fair job on the sidelines over his career.

and considering the mental health issues that he's fought against, he's certainly alright by me!

 

[Alex28]

Given what he has been through, generally he makes alot of other commentators look pretty average. I rate him.

You would think that you would make sure of something like that before announcing it - maybe the emotion of the night got to him...

 

[coolumsharkie]

I don't mind hamiltons calls, he's ok.

 

[Sheilas, Wogs and Poofter]

Who cares.He made a mistake.

From what I have heard from him,he does a pretty good job.

 

[Pigskin]

so what if Hamo supports his team

I reckon he does a pretty good job as do the whole of the ABC team ... as opposed to the opposition who just speak dribble for 12 hours every weekend

cheers Grandstand

Oink !

 

[Ferocious Dogs]

Its a once off. Get over it.

 

[Timmah]

There is a vital difference, in case someone brings up our recent jersey retirement decision.

The Bulldogs have forever retired jersey #18 as a 'dedication to the fans' and it will never be worn at club level again. This is allowable I believe due to the fact #18 is not a playing number when naming a lineup anyway.

As many may have noticed, Sherwin played in #19 today, Hickey in #20

 

[Stewie Griffin]

once again... no player is greater than the game

 

[Timmah]

Exactly.

 

[strewth_mate]

Though I doubt Johns would have had much to do with Mullen wearing #18 tonight. Soppy rubbish from the club.

 

[badav]

I reckon the best thing Mullen can do for his career is to piss off out of Newcastle as quick as possible, and never look back.

probably a fair call to be honest
i really feel for any half coming into the knights squad for the next 10-15 years
whom ever is there will struggle with the pressure of replacing johns

i mean look at the roosters since fittler, or better yet, the raiders in life after stuart/daley... McLinden especially, great player but was never really going to be a Laurie Daley, and his game suffered for us trying to make him one, as well as our next stuart, mullins, mal and what ever other position we played him at...


only now have we got a halves combination that is even fit to wipe the arse of stick and loz

 

[meltiger]

Didn't Canberra put in a request years ago to rest 1 of their numbers due to them feeling it was unlucky? (In that the players wearing it kept getting injured) & the request was refused due to numbers corresponding with positions and obviously not individuals?


Maybe Legend or one of the other older Raider fans can remember this?

 

[Rovelli]

Craig Hamilton is pretty biased, great as a sideline eye, but NOT as a play-by-play.

I actually always thought Matt Rodwell was the more biased Novocastrian in commentary.

 

[Holla if ya hear me]

Joey gets what Joey wants

idiot!..yer joey wanted this..joey wanted no one ever to wear the knights number 7..tard

 

[Dr Crane]

At least the ABC commentators make no secret of the fact that they support teams, so you don't necessarily roll your eyes at their calling.

 

[mightybears]

Newcastle are not that stupid to retire a jersey-seppo garbage franchise culture we don't need
