I like it for the most part but FMD James Matheson is the most unfunny bloke going around and knows nothing about footy. I'd rather see someone like Dell on there who can both have a joke and say something useful about football every now and then

Red V is with me?

*chest bump*

*kisses two fingers*

*smile*

Yeah, Dell has nothing.

She was crook a few weeks back, her voice was quite hot.

Didnt notice her much at first though shes getting more involved now...I agree with El D.

She's mighty fiiiiiine

She is smokin' and currently number 2 as a female footy fan in my eyes. Sarah Murdoch is obviously number 1. Lady luck/Egan's wife is number 3.

Exibit A for the "commentators polish up simple plays to sound technical" is the description of the Saints 1st try aganst Melbourne. There was one different pass and Gus Gould made it sound like Bennett had reinvented the Red V wheel. It was plan B/C for the last 3 years and they went to it first, where's the "oh wow" moment Phil?

Exibit B - Melbourne get a 4 on 2 with Soward as the wide A defender and Sterlo does a "freeze it here and look at how good cam Smith is" speech. We all saw that play and could have done it.

Yes, she's hot, but she talks too much. Most of what she says can be classified into several categories:

a) Trying to be funny but not
b) Trying to be intelligent but not
c) Getting ultra defensive (typical female trait) when someone has a go at the Titans

But Brendan Cowell... if he's not the unfunniest person on the face of the Earth (who also tries incredibly hard to be funny), then I'm not here. Those lists are just terrible, those 'interviews' take a slightly smile-worthy impression and torture it to death and then he's so fast to shake the hand of every guest thinking he's so important and every guest loves him.

Thing is, he was funny the times he was on FireUp, but his painful appearances on League Lounge confirm it's the FireUp guys who are the funny ones, they were just carrying his unfunny ar$e.

Despite all this, the show has a place. Brandy is excellent, the right mix of analysis and humour (I get the feeling he'd be a lot funnier without having to worry about who he might offend, we got a taste of this with his bit about the attractiveness (or lack thereof) of those who get engaged at footy games), while Matheson is also good value, doesn't overstep the mark either in footy talk or trying to be funny.

I understand Gartner has to be on the show to look at, but please please please can Brendan Cowell pi$$ off back to whereever he came from?? And whoever told him he's funny can go with him.

Brendan Cowell used to be a respected actor/writer/director.

Now he's just the bloke on the League Lounge who follows the Sharks and isn't very funny.

No wonder Rose Byrne broke up with him.
