Get some American caller that knows nothing about the game to do it. That would be fun.

Rabs isn't retiring. As long as his health lets him, he will continue to call.
Ch.9 groomed Sterlo to be Rabs replacement, then they burnt that bridge, the same with Vossy. If Rab does go, it will be Hadley.
I reckon Andrew Moore would be great.

The time is right for Rabs.
Eyesight issues.
I mean Wade Graham and Jason Bakuya don't look very similar.

Well that is the assumption I had as well, but then this time last year there was a SMH article or something saying the same thing, and Hadley came out and pretty much said that he was doing his "commentating" as a favor to the Ch. 9 boss, and would never be the next main channel 9 commentator.
It's scary to think about though.

I will give serious consideration to giving the game away if that happens. No way surely!
What bridge has been burnt?

Ray Warren is absolutely hopeless. Gets names wrong all the time plus his so-called "banter" with that ****wit Gould makes me want to stick spikes through my eardrums.
Then add the "Idiot Twins" in Fittler & Johns and surely you would think you have the worst possible commentary team in the history of professional sport...
But wait! Let's throw in a couple of absolute mental midgets in the form of Wally Lewis, whose contribution basically extends to making grunting noises or occasionally yelling "Go!" or "Oh yeah" and Ray Hadley - YES RAY F***ING HADLEY! - a human being so vile he makes Martin Bryant look compassionate. Not only is he a complete jerk, his commentary is excruciatingly painful, "Thurston catches the ball, now he is running carrying the ball, now he passes the ball to Coote. Now Coote catches the ball..." etc. Thanks Ray, that would be really helpful, IF I WAS BLIND!!
Can we please get a complete new call team headed up by Peter Sterling and Andrew Voss and, I don't know, ANYONE ELSE EXCEPT the above mentioned morons.
Thank you.

In hadleys defence, he calls the game like a radio commentator, which he was. His commentary is terrible for that reason. If you werent watching the game though, youd know whats going on by what he says. If you were only listening to the other knobs (gould and rabs gibber) youd be listening thinking youd had a few tabs of LSD with all the weirdness going on.
Fox has it all over 9 in so many ways.

Mick Ennis is the one they need......he did a phantom call on benjis try last week on fox and carved it up......this guy will end up getting the big bucks somewhere in the media for sure

He has done quite a bit of Toyota Cup/Holden Cup before, and he is very good to listen to. I just dont understand the need for these commentators on 9 to think they are hosting their own TV show or something. People watch for the footy, not for Freddy talking about sunsets or Joey Johns to sit there laughing his girly little laugh. Just honest calling of the sport with some expert commentary thrown in regarding moments in the game. Its not much to ask is it?

for a serial pest....he is extremely well spoken and has the brains to match

yep always said it. He demands more respect in the game IMO, purely because he leaves all the bull**** on the field. Thats what professional is. He sledges in the battle, and sitting at the 360 desk he is all laughs and full of football brains. If anything, he is what a football player should aspire to be like. Maybe sometimes a bit grubby but he does it within the NRL rules usually

Mate I really think it will work the same way as AFL. Fox simulcast the games but it's still the FTA coverage including commentators. You just don't get the ads and get HD coverage. Hopefully it's different for the NRL but I can't see why it would be.
