Sunday Roast

[Mr Fourex]

Elias answer on Perth team was dead set embarrasing. There are a dozen good reasons for the next expansion team to be Perth, AFL isn't one of them! It showed his shallow knowledge of the game here and what is happening on the ground.

Agreed. Seemed to be reaching for something to say....

Agreed. Seemed to be reaching for something to say....

Elias talks it up.....if they need anything controversial, he's their man.....but for anything substantial - go elsewhere

That show has gone to shit without Vossy. It's so bad that I stayed with the Nascar which was live. Ambrose 11th? (I missed the end).
The crowd there....about 160k.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Ambrose ran out of petrol on the last lap.... lol

14th in the end I think.

 

[Brutus]

He was a good fast bowler in his day lol

I agree, but it was boring with Vossy there a lot of the time as well. The whole show used to be.

First half hour - Whinge incessantly about every incorrect decision a ref made between Friday and Sunday.

Secondhalf hour - Watch Geyer, Gould and whoever else be self indulgent and piss fart around.

I don't know about anyone else, but it's the political stuff around the league that interests me. Where will the NRL expand too? What is going on at the clubs? etc etc. Last Sunday was interesting for about 30 seconds when they talked about Perth and the West Tigers, both of which that twat Tim Gilbert cut off so they could go to an add break or talk about something as boring as batshit.

 

[Yoda]

Does anyone have a comparison of last years ratings compared to this year? Surely the number of viewers watching has dropped dramatically?

 

[Seage]

John Elias should have finished Benny off years ago...

 

[RedVDave]

I like Adam MacDougall's contributions and he speaks pretty well the rest though offer nothing IMO.

good post, especially the final par. the real issues aren't talked about enough. i guess things like how much ch 9 and news ltd habe been rorting the game for aren't going to be freely discussed on nein or fox.

 

[undertaker]

something that I wasn't aware of until only last week: Paul Kent played one first-grade game for Parramatta (as halfback in 1989, and Parra beat Norths 30-6). He must've been filling in for Sterlo that match, but nevertheless, I'm quite surprised

 

[NRL]

The Sunday Roast is a joke now. Will never watch it until Vossy and Gus are back.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

They're talking about Sandow and his alleged pay cheque and TK comes out with this gem

"You never hear what Billy Slater is on. You never hear what Cam Smith is on"

Probably because we don't know which contract is legitimate? Idiot. TK ruins the Roast, absolute muppet.

 

[Big_nick]

First time watching it this year.. I Cannot stand Gilbert and TK on this show. Makes it hard to watch.
Bring back Vossy.

 

[slipperykinchela]

Tim Gilbert has nfi, the show is farked

Tim Gilbert has nfi, the show is farked

Yep, him and TK arguing is worse than Rabs & Gus. What a disgrace.

I will say that Mad Dog would have fit in to the previous version very well.

 

[Smooth Operator • • •]

Tim Gilbert has nfi, the show is farked

One of the best things about Vossy last year is that he lets the show go of the rails for a moment every now and then. It seems Gilbert only allows 2 sentences from each panel member before cutting them off and moving to the next section. For this reason, Gilbert and TK are really rubbing against each other, TK is trying to make a point and half way through Gilbert all of a sudden butts in and tries to shut him up.

 

[Noname36]

It's terrible. Bring back the original panel but replace TK with Mad Dog.

 

[carlosthedwarf]

More yawnion highlights.

There has to be better things to do with your Sunday people.............don't waste your time
