Funny how people dissect comments to suit an agenda. IMO, who cares what Rabbs, Sterlo, Fatty, Gus or Vossy says. I'm not gonna lose any sleep over them or any other commentators words.
I loved it when he said that tackle by Thaiday was a captains play. I wonder if it was also a captains play when Thaiday was penalised playing the ball.
The fake interplay with Warren is pathetic.
I never thought I would say it but Gus is unbearable as a commentator.
Dead set 02 forever, you really need to build a bridge and get over it maaaaaaaate.
The try was a good one, I think most agree. And yes Bwaiff has scored some similar ones, so what he's competitive and chases hard, who really cares if you think he gets under praised. Most here seem to agree they don't agree with your Kleenex opinion.
Gus has a tendency to go on a bit, it's what he's paid for on 9, to jazz up the commentary and whip the saps into a frenzy. It's not my idea of fun but at least he has a very good footy brain and hates NewsRL with a passion. I really don't give a shit if he uses hair dye or over does the act a bit. The man is a RL man, that will do me.
Sometimes we all feel like getting on and starting a thread about some little thing that bugs the shit out of us. That's all good really mate. But don't make it if you can't cop the fact that sometimes most will disagree and hammer your arse to the floor.
Just another dose of Gould drivvle, all he delivers nowdays in his commentary. But at least he's given up on his obsesesion with the seagulls for the moment, only because it was a night game I suspect.
Just because the 9 coverage is free to air doesn't mean it doesn't have to be so inferior to what you can hear on pay TV but Fox shytes all over the 9 coverage each and every week. If you want quality commentary in the finals, watch the Fox replay with their own commentators. At least they focus on the footy not some imbecile irrelevant sideshow.

Sad thing is NC, Wareeeeen and Looooooza are worse. I like Brandeye though and The Wizzer is a pisser. As for that Braybrook and the rest of the angle grinders on Fox, they swallow, IMO of course.
I will say the GF commentary from Fox was much more damning of what we all SAW from the officials, compared to 9s company line stuff.
Strange cos News own RL and Fox. But 9 toe the line.
Personally I try my best to just watch it for myself and ignore the over the top tones of the blokes paid to re-tell us what we have just seen. Commentary is a strange thing when you consider they just tell you what you've just seen for yourself.
I do miss Rex Mossops efforts, what a funny little vegemite.
Stsae, News Ltd have some control over what is said and done at channel 9, just as they have at all commercial stations.
Just because they are not listed as shareholders does not mean they do not have power in the joint.
News is a powerful beast and not many in the media in Aust are keen to get on the wrong side of them. Most are more than happy to be bedfellows with Rupert and his minions. Especially the likes of Stokes, Gyngell and Packer.
