I didn't know that. What did he do?

Get him signed up!

Quote ="John Gilbert Reds"I didn't know that. What did he do?'" It falls into the 'you couldn't make it up' category. See: www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/n ... 6468080678 and www.triplem.com.au/sydney/sport/ ... ntroversy/ All of which misses the core point - Voss was right in the first place: that statue does, indeed, look very little like Ray Warren!

The situation is that, by all accounts, Hadley is a massive bully and a scumbag, while also being good friends with the Channel 9 boss. The end result being Voss was effectively pushed out of the organisation because of Hadley.

Excellent ' commentary ' tonight, but that was the point ,no in depth analysis , just what was happening and a sense of humour and enthusiasm

I would be careful what I write if I were you. Ray Hadley doesn't like to be called a "massive bully and a scumbag."

Many believe that Ray Hadley is more powerful than the Mafia in Australia.

Hadley may have one of his IT employees at 2GB crack your real identity on here and then have one of his "leading Sydney identity" friends' employees come visit you.

Getting rid of Andrew Voss left Ray Hadley as the ailing Ray Warren's most likely successor on Channel 9.

He's a rugby league gazelle

The World Cup in oz are being broadcast by Channel 7.

Nice not to hear Phil Gould's voice tbh.

Voss is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and IMO is a much better commentator than Hadley. I still like Ray Warren at his best, but his 'double act' with Gould goes way OTT with the irrelevant stuff nowadays.

If I'm right, Vossy used to be the ground announcer and bloke on the pitch at the Roosters games years ago.

Oh and when I said it was on Channel 7 I meant it's on Channel 7s' digital channel called 7Mate. So not everyone even got to see the game. Which is a shame.

Is it Voss who did the commentary for the Rugby League Live games?

Commentary was excellent, and I'll forego the HD of BBC in favour of Premier from now on. Was very nice to listen to actual commentary and not the shambling sensationalism of Sky and the bumbling atrocity of BBC.

"Bumbling atrocity" is an accurate reference to Ray "was that Thurston or Slater?" French and Jonathan "he's ball watching" Davies, but not to Dave Woods.

Yeah, I quite like Dave Woods. But he can't save a sinking commentary ship.

Watching Premier's coverage is a breath of fresh air. Knowledgeable, interesting, and I don't find myself cringing every five minutes. Sky need to get Voss signed-up.

Voss would add 15/20% to Sky viewing figures.Shows how bad Hemmings and Stevo are.

Went out drinking before a big game.
Some of the others did it but they made it to the pre game warm up.
It wasn't his fault though coz everyone else did it

Sounds like poor Channel 9 management.

He made an entertaining game even more entertaining.
Noble added to that too. They make a good double act.

That does show however it is not always the person but the rules they have to play by.
If Voss and Noble were signed up by BBC they wouldn't be able to do that. It's quite restrictive on there.

For Sky to change Eddie would be quite a big thing but I think I'd get him involved if I were them.

He generates excitement just by being excited about the game himself.

I'm loving the world cup and he is a big part of that.

Yes it's him

Used to love hearing vossy and Gus Gould on a morning was really fun listning to them because of thier enthusiasm and knowlage .

I thought he was really annoying. Shouting way too much and when he got excited I couldn't understand what he was saying.

Admittedly though, it was better than Sky Sports 'Commentary' - which is basically four blokes having a chat about RL and not really watching the game.

To be fair, I wouldn't start off by calling him a bully and a scumbag. I'd just start off by calling him a f****** p****.

This Capdouze caricature is getting tiresome now. It's as boring as Jon Wilkin's commentary was on France v PNG.

personal insults are not allowed.

SKY sign this guy up asap
