What's happened to Vonnie, (Evonne Sampson) was on 360, but maybe Kenty was to much for her..lol.
Are the current commentators the worst in history?

Love Warren Smiths delivery, "and it's a Manly try if you don't mind"
fixed!
Anyway, it's interesting to see everyone's likes and dislikes commentator wise.
the option of listening to the ref would be interesting.
I'd still like it if the footy budget allowed more 'home team' commentators rather than a pool of supposedly unbiased game callers. Like the hockey.
She was in foal - pretty sure she recently had a colt.

The two peanuts who take in turn on Channel Nein are poor commentators (one of them - the one with the Foghorn Leghorn voice -is worse than the other). Matt Thompson and Peter Psaltis I think they are.
As exhibit number one: both commentate like they're some bloke at the pub watching a game on the TV from about 8 metres away. Accuracy is variable; both like to get all worked up first, and then try and find out what happened afterwards.
For example, "oh he's dropped it!! That's really going to make it hard for the _____ (insert team name). No wait, the referee says it was stripped!! Well, they don't deserve that......!"
Frank Hyde would be rolling in his grave.
Commentators sounding like comic voice-over at a Punch & Judy show, they're desperately looking hard for 'heroes' and 'villains', not giving any actual insight, getting plays and players names wrong......awful.

Yvonne (and her husband, 9 reporter Chris O'Keefe) had a boy last Monday.

I enjoy Anthony Maroon’s calls on MMM.
I don’t enjoy pretty much anything that comes out of Blockers mouth.

I got the impression many didn't even know she was pregnant, hence 'baby' but just for you GE I've edited it
I'm with you, love Maroon's calls. He's the best...and a funny bugger.

On a similar subject, does anyone get miffed by the ground commentators and their inane calls intended to pump up the crowd? What about the music played at every stoppage? I was at Mudgee for the match and the music was particularly loud and intrusive . . . and I wasn't even wearing my hearing aide!
It might be just my age but I don't think it is necessary for songs to blare over the PA, except Eagle Rock when appropriate. Then again, perhaps the younger generation needs more entertaining than me; I'm just happy to watch a game of rugby league and let the crowd get into the match as the action befits.

He needs an offsider called white
Nah don't feel bad. With this *** covid, I feel bad and you give much needed laughs.
Speaking of which this brings to mind 'Whitey', who was on 2SM and Triple M in the 80's and 90's (DJ/newsreader). He use to also be known as "David Maroon & White" as he was such a staunch Manly supporter. Nice memory...

Andrew Moore on ABC grandstand is up to standard. As for the rest of them, where's Rox Messup when u need him ?
I actually like Slater

This caller on Nine is tedious - the bloke that departs the scene of car crashes - Matt Thompson?
He and Adolf noticeably deflated (verbally) when it was increasingly obvious that Manly would win.
I would love to hear someone remind the other commentators that Oldcastle won in 1997 on the back of juiced up players.
