Vonny should replace Molan

Said this plenty of times before. If Ch9 management wanted a female face, Yvonne should've got a spot on the panel over Molan. Her knowledge of RL far exceeds Molans and she'd blend in more with TFS pannelists (Fatty, Beau, Big Marn) compared to Molan who is so up tight (i.e. can dish it out, but can't handle the criticism or jokes in return).

Overall I'd prefer the Sunday Footy Show compared to the weekly garbage on Thursday

Thing is the Foxtel's NRL shows make the Sunday Footy Show look rather ordinary in comparison in my opinion. Less said about the Thursday night version of the FS though the better.

Yeah I'd take Matty Johns and Sterlo's shows (SFS & On the couch) over The Footy Show. 360 isn't the best since Paul Kent is awful and I hate when Ikin sucks Bennett's dick lol. Also three days a week is too much imo.

Yeah, it wont be live on TV, but they'll make out it is. Think 'Sunday Afternoon Footy' before 2015.

I agree with having Yvonne on instead of Molan, even though Molan seems like a really nice person, she is probably suited with the Footy Show's non serious approach and I think Yvonne wants to be known for her more serious footy approach journalism and won't get associated with the show

Yvonne is fine hosting the Queensland Friday night games and the Sunday footy show, being viewed as a serious footy journalist rather than 'eye-candy' who is on as a female face to a show that doesn't discuss FOOTY too much.

Footy Show on Thursday has gone beyond awful. They focus more on the betting odds than the game previews, and love to push their awful 'humour' and force laughter for all the panel.

Matty Johns has the right balance - humour mixed with some great footy discussion with a panel of boofheads. Sterlo's show is amazing and 360 is also tolerable because they actually discuss footy.

Yeah that's a good summation.

Did anyone else hear Johns drop the classic "f**k off" to either Gilbert or the off-screen floor manager in the pass the ball competition between Sterlo, Fittler & Johns for Gilbert suggesting a foot fault.

A muck around competition between 3 classic halves of the 70s, 80s & 90s and this dimwit treats it as a bloody winner take all game.

Now I'm not pure and do swear in a pub type situation, but live TV on a Sunday morning/afternoon and with 10 year old ball gatherers in ear shot, the guy is a deadset "I believe my own wraps" goose.

i heard it but thought it was Freddy

I'm sure it was Johns regarding the foot fault call he was looking away from Gilbert at the floor manager. Either way someone should be booted up the arse - just adds to the perception of the non-league public opinions about players (current & ex).

Not only did it go over the airwaves but the junior players in the studio would have been about 10 at best.
