Wally Lewis..

Gus is a man of hyperbole in general - when NSW have a good stretch he goes on and on about how they're on top, and ditto for Qld. He's done a huge amount of Qld wanking over the last few years as well so while it's obvious where his loyalties lie, it does largely balance out.

Sterlo is normally the most level-headed of them all but I did notice his loyalties come out of a few times tonight in the excitement, just little things though.

Wally was completely on another level from all of them and an abolute embarrassment. All of his shocking habits that we are subjected to when he does club games were made 100 times worse when his Queensland allegiance came into it. He turned into a blabbering Qld fanboy who when he wasn't actively encouraging Queensland was just yelling stuff out with his stupid HOOOOO and the like. He offers nothing and is just a blithering idiot yelling out garbage. From what we heard from him tonight he might as well have been sitting in the stands with a XXXX in his hand.

Gus just goes whichever way the wind blows. He goes on about how "NSW have all the ascendancy here" the moment they get a roll on, but if Qld score it's all about how "Qld have hung in there". The guy needs to get back to coaching, because as a commentator he poses like an expert who acts like whatever is happening in the moment somehow confirms his opinion...

Really wound me up live but with hindsight it wasn't too bad. Kind of funny how biased he was. Sounded like me watching a raiders game.

He does tend to do that a lot

But to be fair, NSW did dominate large portions of tonights match. Problem was we had useless halves who couldn't take advantage

LOL.
I can't believe what I'm reading here, are you guys simply dim or just obnoxious?
Complaining about the commentary and the level of bias from Wally, really?
Do you think the shirts that say 'shut up gus' are just for cutesy?
It was refreshing because someone was actually pulling for Queensland not NSW, either way if it bothers you that much then do what us queenslanders have done for years and turn it to mute.

comparing Wally's performance to Gus is laughable, Wally sounded like a biased Fittler in the background.

Very objective presentation last night.

Especially loved it when Rabs assured us that the 9 sources had reviewed the Merrin incident and it wasn't a knock on.

:lol:

That was actually 9 being a decent footy broadcaster for once, that incident led directly to the Merrin try but they never showed a replay of it at the time, only the try, when everyone thought it looked like a knock-on (including our man Wally who wailed 'that's a knock on suuuuurely :cry:...'. So they obviously had someone go back and look at the footage while the game continued live to see what had happened.

"QLD are on the ropes right here"

"QLD are staggering"

Yeah ... had a laugh at the "Queensland are staggering" comment, which was made as the camera showed a shot of the entire team preparing for a drop out all looking very keen and enthusiastic.

Let's not forget that Mr Gould made THE BIGGEST DUD CALL in league history when eight years ago he called on Darren Lockyer to step down from the Queensland team.

Lockyer went on to win four of the five next Origin series, multiple Test matches for Australia, two premierships and numerous other awards and accolades.

And yet Gould still has the hide to portray himself as some know-all guru.

Pfft.

It wasn't credible in the slightest.

9 had ample opportunity to show a replay of the incident yet the only follow up was from an unnamed source.
