Announcing the FOFFFFF

[ccfc bondi]

He's even on the sports odds ads now....(But remember, gamble responsibly!)

[Johnny Tobin]

I rate Braith
‘he sees the same things as me in a game. I will yell something at the tv and my 7 year old will say...Braith just said what you said Dad.
But that could mean we are both idiots.

Noddy is good but predictable. Kind of like captain obvious Lozza Daley

Finchy is a moron but a good bloke
Hodges is so bad. He strikes me as a guy who would be comfortable reading golden books.
i like Gasnier.
Mick Ennis is a capable commentator. Just repetitive with his cliches.

lets give Andy Raymond his kudos. This guy has improved out of sight. I think he seems much sharper now he’s not wearing a wig.

Lol at the last part.

What annoys me about most of the commentators be they Fox or Channel Nine are their sniggering references to Freddy being a 'bit odd etc'. A lot of them seem to do it because he adopts different methods, unusual to them. I mean we're talking about a majority here who are still dragging their knuckles on the ground or all drink the same beer because 'Big Terry' does.

I get the sense that Brad is actually far more intelligent than them hence the sniggering references about difference. What he does had worked well for the City and NSW sides he has coached. The Roosters employ much the same methods. It's not 'new age' as much as it is sports science, something these commentators seem to know little about. There....that's my rant about knucklehead commentators who should be praising Freddy..

Yep. I think Freddy runs rings around most of them.

What a shit thread

Usual insightful comment from the forum's resident moron.

What a shit thread

It has gotten to the point where the only show I can watch on Fox is the first part of 360 (and even then I often call it off).

Last night on Controversy Corner that idiot Toovey was moaning that Souffs not having their players on the weekend could have cost them the minor premiership. Are they the only club that has to do it?

I like Finchy.
I hope when Pearcey retires that Fox or channel 9 employ him as a commentator as well.

He seems to get on well with Matty Johns, so who knows, good story about Pearce when he was about 19 on Matty Johns podcast.

[easts4eva]

Mark Gasnier was ok.

[The Thracian]

Shit you would need a mumble deciphering machine to understand that twats dribble

How has no one mentioned how annoying Braith Anasta is on foxsports? I have never heard someone that has made me actively switch the channel. His voice gives headaches, he has such poor takes on the games and goodness me, he repeats everything twice. Did I mention his poor takes again? There is a twitter account solely made up of laughable quotes this man says during a game. He is the worst commentator of the lot.

I know there is a movement against Braith but I don’t mind him.

Love the thread, but careful what you wish for. The original FOFF was not only credited for helping get rid of Finch from our club, it was formed at the same time Brett's dad Robert was boss of the refs and after the 2010 GF stitch up with St Slags, our record of receiving penalties in the decade after has remained a statistically anomaly.

Chook.

Wrong...sort of...There was a fear that sacking Finch would create what you said and it did..not Foff. They wanted to het rid of him a lobg time before like after his first season..
That stigma is long gone .We get the same shit good and bad like the rest.
