NRL 360 - The word of Kenty.

[pt73]

Cam is lucky to string one word together. He is a commentary vacuum. The girls should be dirty he gets a gig.

Ch9’s strategy is to sign high profile ex-players regardless of whether they can put a sentence together.

Slater being a perfect example who struggled to add anything so just stated the obvious last night or relayed a meaningless statistic.

 

[The better Robbo]

I must be in the minority, even though Pitt knows her footy she struggles to string a sentence together and gets spoken over whenever on the show, not a great package to then become host!

 

[Will on the hill]

As far as talking head gigs in rugby league go, 360 is one of the most time consuming. Ikin used to do 3 long days before recording Mon Tues Wed. Wouldn't be surprised if that turned off a few of Fox's preferred options.

Slater is articulate and insightful - definitely the pick of the bunch. He and Sterlo are Ch9's A team.

Watched an '89 origin game yesterday and was surprised to hear Sterlo. Just as eloquent and insightful as he is today. Would be first picked in my commentary dream team. Even manages to stay somewhat unbiased when the Eels are involved whilst acknowledging that he can't be.

Im having trilouble getting on your respective Slater and Sterlo Busses.

I thought Billy's injections into the SOO last night were inconsequential at best and down right usless at worst. I havent heard him much as over here i mainly get the Fox commentary but he very underwhelming for me. Perhaps he goes better at other points?

And Sterlo again havent heard much of him over past 10 years but im still shaking my head at his description of Kites 2008 GF try. Pass to a guy in a better position and pass to a guy in a better position blah blah blah. 😑

Rugby League isn't a terribly complex game but for the most part both of them explain what happens pretty clearly without too much bias or cliched descriptions... in my opinion.

I can't say the same about most of the commentators on Fox

Slater goes OK on the mic and along with Sterlo, Fatty and Gould is arguably the best of the ex-players that 9 employs. Lockyer on the other hand can't string a coherent sentence together while Thurston is uh trying to um ah butcher the um English ah language whenever he uh opens his mouth.

Strangely I found it rather easy to ignore sCam last night.

 

[globaleagle]

Cronk and Anasta are terrible.

they all suck

silvertails should do their own!

 

[Pete W]

Ch9:
Fatty - funny bastard who will always put a smile on your face (you have to laugh at just how dated his attitudes have become too)
Gus - the undisputed king of reading the game as a whole, momentum shifts, and player emotion
(These two together are so good at delivering all-round atmosphere for big games.)
Also, Sterlo & Slater - technically astute, insightful, and unbiased. Very good at breaking down the mechanics of the game
Honourable mention to Thaiday., plus Ruan Sims actually seems to have something to say occasionally (unlike Alana Ferguson)

Wally, Lockyer, Thurston are terrible at the English language, and along with Joey, Freddy, and Cam, offer nothing. (Don't mind a bit of Gal occasionally)

Fox:
Matty Johns - Legend (shame he's not also in commentary)
Brandy - technically astute, insightful, and unbiased (definitely the best on Fox)
Ennis - tries too hard
Anasta & Blocker - morons
Cronk - douchebag of the highest order
Loz goes alright.

Ch9 ex-player commentary team take the cake

 

[Go manly]

Just watched 360
How the fuk dies Kent think he knows everything
What has he done ?
What gives him any credibility to speak the self righteous crap that he does

AND ..........

No Iken
Vonnie what’s her name there !!!!
Hadley on show
Is it Covid driven or a full change

and just for a last time
Kent is a tosser and over rated in every way

It just got worse
That idiot is on. Segment called good times

Nice whiskey and Port to settle down

How the fuk dies Kent think he knows everything

Same way all of us do, only difference is he's on tv.

What gives him any credibility to speak the self righteous crap that he does

Same way we do 🙂

what have I missed

Not much

Vonnie what’s her name there !!!!

Her name is Vonnie

Kent is a tosser and over rated in every way

Yep 🙂

 

[QueefRichards]

Just saw this clip and it's a reason why I'll hear Kent out on an issue before I judge him - at his best he just says things that everyone else just skirts around because they don't want to admit, like the section talking about the salary cap cheating

Sorry, you’re going to have to be more specific. You could be talking about half the Fox commentary team here.

The two dolled up female presenters doing the Euro football are definitely

Yeah, Nah.

Haha.

 

[Waz13]

2 nights with Vonny on and that might be it for me with that show. Very disappointing.

Good on you for being brave enough to give it a go .... a bridge to far for me.
