Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2730633, member: 1899"] While I disagree and sort of laugh at some of the points the article raised ("The highest rated Thursday night game of all-time!"), in general I agree with what the article has to say. Fox continues to evolve and bring in some of the best media personalities as well as new faces who add to the coverage. 9 is still an old boys club that's beginning to pay for some of the decisions they made in the past decade. In fairness to 9, the coverage has improved somewhat as the schedule allows them to use their A team for most games but they need to groom some more talking heads to help out. Enlisting Fatty as a commentator the other night says it all to me. I like Fox's coverage but I still think there's plenty of room for improvement. To be fair, it has come leaps and bounds compared to a few years ago and I quite like all the different shows they have on. The issue I have is that the shows have a strong Daily Telegraph influence and there are times where they just blather on and on about the same subjects. To give an example, I love the format of NRL 360. To have all those different newsclips thrown into one show is really handy but there are times where Kent is just too much and I just tune out. Similar story with Hoops who now has an even bigger presence in the coverage - his analogies are like a car approaching a red light - they need to stop. [/QUOTE]
