the channel 9 commentry is full of a load of BS.
something will happen in a game and gus will say i told you this was going to happen, when five minutes before he was saying the opposite.
their analysis of the games is mostly a load of BS.
sterlo has had his days, fatty is boring, rabbits is over the hill.
and daley has returned to fox after the poor treatment at 9.
id love another network to get the RL, channel 9 have no idea what to do with it.
when it comes to the footy show vs nrl on fox. when you watch nrl on fox you learn stuff about the gaem all the time. when the footy show do interviews its fluff, full of cliches.
i miss the footy show most weeks. its one of the few RL shows i do.
The production is far superior and yes the level of commentry is usually too (apart from gus' rantings). How you say Sterlo is an average commentator and analysist of the game is beyond me, still one of the most astute minds in the game.
You honestly tell me you like to hear the stutters of Laurie Daley (why he's back on fox), surely he must score braybrook, john casey and the worst commentator of all time garry freeman (the guy has no idea, he should join stevo and eddie over here).
Rabs has one of the finest voices going around, he may be getting past it, but i would rather hear his voice then anything fox can throw up.
Fatty rarely is on game day coverage.
There's a reason that the guys who are on 9 are on 9, and the others are on Fox. Channel 9 has the big $'s and can afford to get the best, they tried Laurie, but even after all these years he struggles in front of the camera.
I dont agree with how 9 treat the game occasionally, but their production is a market leader in world sport.
