Ray Hadley

People will always differ in their opinion

I beg to differ.

Laurie Daley is one of the worst commentators ever if you ask me. He tells you what the players were thinking and thinks he is gods gift to rugby league analysis. Total douche.

Brandy isnt too bad. Matty Johns has turned arogant - he used to be great when at Channel 9 but now he thinks the world is against him and just carrys on like a spoilt little rich kid. Warren Smith can't pronounce the "Titans" (listen to him next time - "Tidans" everytime...)....and I cannot stand listening to Andy Ramond. Belcher goes alright.

I can't say I like or love any particular commentators but I guess the classic rugby league lover in me will always love Rabs, Sterlo and Fatty (could also be my "12th Man" upbringing). Don't mind Phil Gould (yes, this coming from a Queenslander) but only when he's not having a hissy with Rabs.

My favourite commentators are actually the ones on ABC Grandstand.

Don't think he comes across as God's gift at all, in fact I think he's quite down to earth. Have met him a few times and he's a great bloke.

Is bias towards Canberra and an anti shark. Absolute wank!

 

[sharkyboy]

Tbh I like every single commentator on tv ATM. Have nothing against any of them and I thin they all bring something. Love warren smith though, and that new commentator on fox is great, can't remember his name though

ray hadlee on channel 9 right now

 

[josh11223344]

For some reason he isn't annoying me as much... Might have something to do with sterlo neutralising his annoyance.

 

[Murphy]

i've adjusted

 

[Gil]

He's doing fine,

He did say he has some fine tuning to do regarding his talking,

but having a good call in this game.

 

[sharkyboy]

Yeah he's doing a great job atm

 

[dragons]

he should limit the words per minute . give the other guys a chance

 

[SHARKSTER]

I just realised. I sat through an entire Hadley call on tele. Wow

 

[CROWIE]

Well done, I fell asleep haha

 

[19ninety9]

you cant half tell he was restraining himself.

so much better though, no greyhounds caller sound to it at all.

 

[dragons]

atleast his improveing . took 5 weeks to wake up . now cut it down by another 50%

 

[sharky7]

i tried... i really did.

i love ray on the radio, and yes i know that there had been talk of his annoyance.
i tried to put that out of my mind today, i really did. but i just couldn't get into the game the same way i do when rabs or warren smith are calling it.
i dont know what it is. i cant pin-point it. i think it was blatantly obvious in the first 5 minutes of the game that he was holding back, sometimes a whole play went by in front of me without a word spoken. sure enough, hadley's voice and personality returned to normality as the game progressed.

what on earth is it, can someone enlighten me as to why this renowned caller is somehow now making the footy a chore to watch?

Cos your to used to Rab's doing the call, lets face it when the big man retires, he will never be replaced.

Hadley sent me to sleep today! missed the whole second half.

I like Hadley much better than Voss. I think sometimes he forgets that its not radio though and over describes things, forgetting the fact that we can see the game lol.

Steve Kneen doesn't live in reality mate. It's very telling that he doesn't even know the price of basic food items.

You're an idiot that still votes Labor despite them being the most incompetent Govt Australia has ever had. There is no helping some people and it really reflects your intelligence. You haven't got any.
