Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2616625, member: 1899"] The Footy Show is a relic. It had it's place when Australian television was made up of shows like Hey Hey It's Saturday & Full Frontal but that was 15-20 years ago. It needs to be retired or completely reformatted. It's a shame it's come to that though because there were some wonderful videos on the show. The episodes about Depression, Alex McKinnon etc. was great television that any Rugby League fan should have sat down to check out. But it's all lost in segments like Small Talk, That's Gold, Crack a Fatty, Perfect Partners etc. that's just so brain dead. As for the commentary itself... Rabs is a relic and really shouldn't give his 2 cents on a game but as a play by play guy he is still one of the best in the business. Gus is hot and cold. When he's off, he'll make really stupid statements that really lack thought and poorly educates the audience. When he's on, he can provide the best insight and sum the game up extremely well. Sterlo's a prince. Lay off. I've got to say, it took him years and years but Joey Johns is one of the best colour commentators on TV right now. Is usually the voice of reason more often than not and generally provides good insight on the nuts and bolts that most commentators miss. The rest I could really do without. Speaking of commentators - Gaz has stepped it up on Fox. He's usually one of the better panel members and has no issue with discussing the technical aspects of the game while being transparent. I hate how some commentators hide behind a false veil of neutrality. Gaz just comes right out and says what he thinks and if he doesn't like a team or how they play he'll flat out say it. Was far from my favourite player but he's a good egg on commentary. [/QUOTE]
