Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3407072, member: 1899"] I'd imagine it was only those who were on hand at the studio. As far as I'm aware, Fatty and Rabs are still on good terms but Fatty has a reduced role and doesn't do much outside of calling Queensland related games. I'm surprised Rabs stuck around as long as he did. He's been stepping back for the better part of a decade but when it came to the big games nobody could fill his shoes. He just understood the artform of calling for a televised broadcast, allowing the action to speak for itself and only ramping it up to help really escalate the situation making it far more exciting than it really was. He usually focused on the positive and really only provided background on the players when there was a lull in the game. There were exceptions of course. I can never forget Brett Stewart's Origin debut because Rabs every moment he could kept bringing up Stewart's diabetes. However when he was at his best, he was a major asset to the game and like the old cricketing commentary teams it was nice just to watch the game with Rabs, Sterlo and Fatty. [/QUOTE]
