Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2272996, member: 1899"] Nothing beats the Channel 9 commentary team of Rabs, Sterlo and Gould. You've got the voice, the analyst and the colour commentator. Perfectly balanced. The rest of the 9 team is 'ok'. Vossy knows his stuff but is as interesting as a plank of wood, Fatty is comical but doesn't know Peter Wallace from Kevin Walters, a robot could do both Johns' and Lewis' job on commentary. I find the Fox commentators self rightous and annoying. I rarely find myself agreeing with Smith who spends far too much time ripping into referees or players. Always seem to tear the game down rather than speak it up. Daley never has anything interesting to add. Alexander seems to go one better and provides the coverage with generally poor or wrong opinions. Out of all the main commentators, Belcher is the only one I can stand. Then the side one's you have... Braybrook - Worst commentator bar none. Always biased, always bashing the referees and always overexagerates. Tallis - Love the bloke, I wish I could understand him on commentary. Junior - Eh, neither here nor there. Raymond - Voice annoys me and far too many Americanisms. Aside from that, he doesn't come accross to me like a total wank stain. Freeman - Comical in his own ineptitude. He's like the Mario Fenech of Fox. New Zealand commentators - All biast and their voices generally lead me to tune out. Then ABC...can't stand most of them. Hamilton and Morrow always lead me astray with their biast commentating. For Hamilton if it's a Newcastle game, you'd barely know who the opposition was because he only talks about the Newcastle players. (Deadset I caught him one time talking about the defensive set of Newcastle, where players were positioning in defence and the kinds of tackles they were making...was odd to say the least). Same goes with Morrow and the Dragons, has a good voice for commentary but deadset he's an arrogant wanker. Both of them love to sink the boot into the Broncos. Hate listening to a Broncos game with them, would barely know who's playing well unless it was Lockyer. Nobody else seems to rate a mention and any time we score you'd swear the Wok had farted given their utter contempt. The worst example for mine was listening to them commentate a game between the Broncos and the Roosters in Round 2 of 2008 where Karmichael hit Anasta high with a shoulder. Now all of us here know Anasta slipped into it and it wasn't really a bad incident. Unfortunately, the ABC commentary thought differently. From memory it went something like this... "Anasta with the ball decides to run it, steps and..." "Oh no what was that..." "HUNT WITH THE WORST SHOULDER CHARGE I HAVE EVER SEEN! THIS IS LES BOYD ON BROHMAN STUFF! OHHH WHAT A TERRIBLE SHOT BY KARMICHAEL!!! HE'S GOING TO GET 6 MONTHS ON THE SIDELINES FOR THAT! "The Broncos seemed to like it" "SMILE WHILE YOU CAN HUNT! IT'S GOING TO BE AN AWFUL LONG STINT IN THE SIDELINES FOR YOU. WHAT A DISPICIBLE ACT! HE SHOULD BE SENT HERE. JUST A PENALTY?! AWWWW REFEREE YOU'RE JOKING! [/QUOTE]
