Tim "timtam" Gilbert was better as light relief not the host
:lol:You....have...got...to...be...joking. I guarantee you that with the training that Tim Tam has had over the years, the majority of people on this forum could do a much better job, even as a fill-in host.
Did anyone notice how Gilbert was trying to make him cry at the end ?
Geez thats low, he said he gets emotional about his father so they kept the camera on him for an extra 5 seconds to see if he would shed some tears.
I agree. That is very low. That's what I hate all those tv shows like Dr Phil where they claim they are helping people but instead exploit peoples' emotional pain for ratings, especially with all the camera techniques and dramatisation such as the slow zoom-in on the face etc.
Sure, we know that Geyer moved to Foxtel, but i thought it still could've gone on with him and add another person in his role. And from reading the posts here, i was just a handful of people who actually liked Terry Kennedy.
Silly decision, Channel nine for this axing of the show!!!
Eddie McGuire is contract with Ch9 and he calls AFL games for Foxtel. Surely Geyer could've negotiated a similar cross-station deal
The Roast was the only good 9 RL show. If they carry on with the current presenters it will be dead before the end of the year. It used to be lighthearted but also informative at times. This weekend's offering was neither.
The show somehow survived, but that's not saying much since it rapidly declined from the first show this year
I don't wanna sound sexist here, but f**k it. Women that don't know much about Rugby League shouldn't be on there talking about it like they are experts. It's painful viewing.
Get her off!
No, I don't think you are sexist. I agree with you. It's because of political correctness (via feminism) that this situation has eventuated where we pick women not because they can do the job, but simply because they are a woman. This is the situation in most workplaces today and after all the off-field incidents involving players, I think the NRL/Ch9 have felt the pressure from the media to have women in prominent positions and to have initiatives such as the "women in league" round
Boys, you miss the whole point of the Roast. To be on the Roast you don't necessarily have to know what you are talking about, eg; Mark Geyer. May be I'd be good on it then. Why is the blonde from Nine on the show? Cause her husband runs channel 9. Channel 9 is one big mates club and they all live on the Northern Beaches. If you fall out with them it can be very nasty for you.
Take a bow drago brelli. Very well said. The only thing of disputation is that they all don't live on the Northern Beaches though. You're not telling me that you recently saw Tim Tam Gilbert step outside of an opulent house on the Northern Beaches, are you?:lol: The guy couldn't even afford a crapshack in Dumnuts, Idaho
David Gyngell is just laughing at RL fans by putting his wife on the Roast.
I like Leila, but a football expert she's not.
I don't like Leila. She may be attractive compared to most blondes but from the moment I saw her interview Corey "The Party Boy" Worthington, she immediately reminded me of my high school year advisor (who also looks similar to Leila, but not as attractive) who was one major suck-up and would manipulate and step on as many faces as possible to get to the top. Like a lot of the personalities who work at Ch9 and have got to where they are not because of talent nor hard work, the statement which is applicable to them: "It's know what you know; it's who you know"
Tim Gilbert just annoys me more and more each week.
Keeps giving his opinion and then goes "ok ok we're moving on", before anyone can argue against it. Effectively has to have the last word on everything.
And no Tim Tam, just because you get the last word in it doesn't mean you're unequivocally right
, it appears as though Vossy isn't falling for "The Bluff" about a multi-year deal with 9...yeah, more like a multi-year deal calling RL......for the QLD CUP and still playing third fiddle behind Rabs and Hadley.
