whinge, whine, moan

Voss is an excellent commentator, he lives and breathes league, and he knows more about the game than 99.9% of the people who frequent this joint

I think it's because he's lumbered with the lesser lights of the commentators...including times when he's stuck with both of the drug squad, so he's tarnished by their idiocy.

As previously said I find him to be an arrogant, smug know it all! He really gives me the irrits!

[Guest]

Voss is a tool ......and i also can't stand that little **** on the roast he shits me every time he opens his mouth....DK is that him

thats some of your best absolute dribble under any of your monikers.
Whether Voss loves or hates the game is irrelevent, its damn obvious he doesn't know or understand the game properly and the players do not respect him.
As said by alot of posters, the sooner CH9 lose the rights the better

[melon....]

TK is a wanka

[Guest]

Thank god theres other people that hate him as much as me!
I reckon he's said Tony De Las Heras name about 1000 times and still thinks its funny. I reckon Tony should go smack the kunt in the face! I fukn would!

Yep he's so full of himself he cracks himself up! Again and again,

Trust me Bill, he knows the game 100 times better than your good self

Now that cracks me up.........

[Kingbilly]

Trust me Bill, he knows the game 100 times better than your good self

and that doesn't really say much does it.
I'll stand by this, he is either a gibbering idiot that knows nothing about the game or a good actor playing the role of a gibbering idiot that knows nothing about the game

But do ANY of the Channel 9 commentators know the rules/interpretations? In fact, how much of any game do they actually watch? Because in their commentary, they are lucky to get through a set without calling something incorrectly. It's even worse when the replay shows how wrong they are but they won't admit it.

Yes, they do.

Sterling, Gould and Voss know them better than most

If you watch TV games and come away thinking that those 3 don't know what they're talking about, unfortunately the real problem lies closer to home

[Kingbilly]

Sterling and Gould know the game very well, and continually show up Voss' lack of knowledge.
Even so, unfortunately its getting more obvious that Gould and Sterling are not allowed to impart their knowledge but (especially in Gould's case) act like clowns.

Yes, they do.

Considering that your average spectator gets his sense of what the rules are from TV - that's not good. Aside from Gould, what qualifications do they have?

Unlike the majority of people on this website and the majority of journos & commentators, I actually refereed for a number of years in the juniors up to A grade. I know most of the rules. I know when the commentators get it wrong. And they do - ridiculously often for people who are so-called experts.

I am NOT talking about League in general. I am talking about their knowledge of the rules. How often do they get the reason for a penalty wrong? Or blame the ref for an incorrect decision when he gets it right? Or fail to criticise him when he gets it wrong? Take for example last year's grand final. Or the second Stewart Mills try against the Roosters - Gould's assertion that the try should be awarded not because it was a try but because he deserved it? These are what people are unhappy about.

Maybe the problem lies with willingness to put up with crap because it comes from so-called experts.
