Roach & Anasta are the only ones I hear when they commentate. The rest I chose to ignore long ago. This isn't a hypothetical egg where "If you has a choice..." you absolutely have the choice.

I don’t mind listening to Roach, but I much preferred listening to Shirvo over him.

If I had to get rid of one person off that list it would be Wally Lewis.

*actually, I’d put Kent before Lewis. As big a douche as Lewis is, at least he achieved something in the game. Kent just struts around like he’s the goat even though he’s only played 1 more game of first grade than me

Love Shirvo on Holey Moley

You should change the title to “which ones would you keep”?

Ben Ikin is a punish, as are Kent, Rothfield, Hooper, Crawley and Tallis to list a few.

If Cronk is regarded as a journo then imo no doubt is he one of the worst. Hooper aswell as Kent.

Honestly, I'm from QLD & I think apart from Lewis tbh we have some of the worst Journos. I don't think Wally is nearly as bad as everyone says he is honestly. On the other hand, Ikin & Cronk are 2 of the worst. I am 50/50 on Tallis though, I will give him this year to see if he is or not.

David Riccio pretty factual and on the money
Ben Ikon , knowledgeable, fair and without agendas
Micky E he is VERY astute .

There's 3 for starters I'd keep .

Agree with Mick Ennis and Riccio. But you’re kidding yourself about Ikin. He is so bias to and boring as anything. He talks so much dribble

ennis is good but can dribble and loves a flavour of the month player

riccio presents well, talks well and knows the game but his ego is getting the better of him

ikin is a rare form of queenslander in which he gives credit to all players and not just those who represent the maroons. like ennis, a dribbler at times though

his twitter persona for a start - if you disagree with him in the slightest or constructively criticise his article he immediately blocks you, then quotes your tweet letting people know he is blocking you

i get there are **** heads on socials, but a few people have been done by him asking further questions to his article

he also hangs around coffee shops in caringbah and runs to players for a chat then cracks the ****s when he doesnt give them the time of day

Fair enough. I'm not on Twitter or the like so don't see any of it.

I thought he was boring as bat **** to be honest. Now on that new ultimate tag show he’s trying to be the funny one and it’s very cringe.

Was the tag show any good? I know one of the taggers (or whatever they are calling them)

Egg buddy, I think you need to check your spelling before you take a crack at too many jouno's
