For your what?

Anyone who uses that stupid phrase is as bad as the most useless of commentators.

Well articulated Lego Man. It is cliched and redundant and like other slang should not be incoprorated into our language simply becuase of its common usage.

On the topic, I think that Halligan is vastly superior to the other two mummbling drones who are forever calling for Warrior penalties.

Some incoherent and tedious commentators of the past include rex Mossop, greg Hartley, Ben elias, Paul Green and Martina Hingis. I never liked Arthur beetson either.

Wayne Pierce is fecking sh!te. Always dribbling on and on and on and on and on and argghhhhhhh! He doesn't commentate, he narrates. Would be better on a wildlife show.

Andy Raymond is similarly bad.

Woz is probably the worst. Next to Braybrook and Raymond.

Nowadays it seems any half wit, dim wit or nit wit can become a commentator. Look at Fox Sports.

I like the Kiwi team, Halligan rocks! He's so crap that he's good, especially reading the team cards.

The worst is Chris Bombolas by a mile. He does the Broncos games on Sundays because in Brisbane we get the Broncos game on a Sunday if that's when it's being played instead of the regular Channel 9 game. Bombolas and Walters are awful, they don't commentate, they just sit there having a conversation about "How good these Broncos are" which gets bloody boring and frustrating after the first 5 minutes. And if it isn't a Broncos player, Bombolas has no idea who it is! He'd mistake Roy Bell for Roy Asotasi. They're both bloody gooses.

Gould. And whoever says "Manly won by 18 points to 10". You can't win by 18 points to 10, you win by 8 points.

Gary Freeman, Mark Braybrook, Phil Gould (when Sydney are on), Andy Raymond, Wayne Pearce, Scott Sattler and Paul Green.

Forgot to add Pearce to my list.

Also Gould is annoying even if he isnt calling a Roosters game.

Glenn Lazarus was the worst commentator of all time before he got yanked a few years back

I wouldn't piss on Laurie Daley if he was on fire either

Gary Freeman, ban him from saying "the little halfback" and "get it two passes wide of the ruck" and you'd never hear him speak again.
