Sunday Roast

[Armageddon.]

The old roast was by far the best league show on TV. Hell it was my favourite any kind of show on TV.
now its is painstakingly dull.

The show was Voss, Gould and Geyer. Without them, it doesn't work.

And Matty, the 4 of them was the perfect combination. If someone could reunite them, hallelujah!

 

[PARRA_FAN]

It worked as a separate show with Vossy, MG, Gus and TK (not fussed if he's not on it).

The format on the Sunday Footy Show is a joke now, and you wonder why they lose their ratings. They dont even go through the whole games before the stick the Roast segment on which is a waste of a segment.

They should just strip out the Sunday Roast, it's never the same cast so there is no interesting dynamic as what there previously was. It changes way too often to have any interest. They had some viewer questions such as "what was your favourite grand final?" who gives a shit?!?!? The Sunday Roast being mixed in with the Sunday footy show has no flow, it just feels tacked on now. I guess there has to be something for free to air as they don't have Sterlo (which I think is awesome) or Monday night with Matty Johns for a more relaxed feel. I think they should just stick with the Sunday footy show and scrap the Sunday Roast but it won't happen. It's a shame what happened with Vossy, I thought he was awesome and has an incredible insight on League. I can only hope FoxSports pick up Vossy rather than leaving him in no man's land on channel 9.

Sunday Roast was only ever created because of Voss and Gould. Without them, the show shouldn't exist.

Huh? Vossy ain't at no man's land on Ch9. He's now at Sky Sports in New Zealand calling Warriors home matches.

And doing Sports Today 2 nights a week on 2ue.

My comment still stands

each show was almost like an episode of Seinfeld because it had perfectly cast characters with some ideas that seemed all unrelated & spontaneous, but then they ended up falling into place to make entertaining tv

Gould too. Voss is missed because he was prepared and knew his stuff (ESL too), MG because he'd say whatever was on his mind (like the dreams he had that made Gus lose it).

"What's the best try ever?"

"What's the best conversion ever?"

The Roast has really stepped it up this season ...

 

[Rosetta]

Just embarrassing what the Roast has become.

 

[Mr Saab]

Roast is a waste of time. Tim Gilbert has no idea as a host.

No it hasn't. It's still as stale as a 2 year old bottle of water since Vossy and co. were canned. The show has nothing on what it was pre-2012. When you have panelists like James Hooper, you know the end is nigh

 

[PARRA_FAN]

It is a waste of a segment now and has been since 2012, the other day it was awful when they had Hooper, Finch and Terry Kennedy on there.

I know TK was there when the roast was good but he has no idea when it comes to footy.

Well I was being sarcastic if it didn't come across.

Those stoopid comps, I could have told you Mark Coyne and El Masri would have won them and saved the whole boring thing.

Reminds me of when the mafia busts-out a business.

Business runs great, mafia takes it over in exchange for protection, run up all the credit and sell all the product out the back door then burn the place down for insurance money.

 

[axl rose]

Terry Kennedy on there.

I'm old enough to remember his Optus Vision days. He made co- commentator Steve Roach look good almost, that says enough.

As for this show and 9's coverage of the game, its just a train wreck.

I too remember TK from his Optus/Sports Australia days circa 1996-2000. Although Cable TV wasn't available in the Hunter until '99, Knights games not covered by Ch9/NBN were shown on NBN with the Fox or Optus coverage, which TK featured prominent only whenever it was Optus. He had a high-pitched voice back then (hated how he always used to pronounce Adam Muir as "Adam MEUUUUUUUUUUR"), and yeah, was regularly partnered to commentate alongside Blocker.

OT, the only thing I ever miss about Optus is the 24hr League channel they used to have. Still faintly remember it when my parents first got Cable TV (the only replayed match I ever remember watching on it was Broncos vs Roosters 1998 where Roosters won 26-12 and coincidentially, TK called that match), and am kicking myself I didn't get to watch more older matches between then and when the channel discontinued around 2001/02 as there's pretty much no highlights or match footage on YouTube from a lot of matches I'd love to see again from that era. I don't know if they still do, but only a couple of years ago I remember 7Mate showing replays of old AFL matches from years gone by. Given Ch9 were required to broadcast 2hrs of RL programming per night on one of their digital channels and they still haven't (pissweak from the NRL that they haven't enforced this clause of the tv rights contract), surely it can't be difficult for Ch9 just to dig up an old match in their studio archives

:shock:

Ive never knew this. I know there was so much League coverage on Optus, which included Reserve Grade and Under 20's back then, but its own dedicated channel?? Wow, you wouldnt want to leave your chair.

Ive never had Optus, but I used to go to mates place sometimes to watch games on Optus, cause unfortunately Foxtel was showing the Super League.
