    Not sure why but Gasnier is so biased towards the Roosters. He absolutely loves Pearce too.

    And yeah I hate Blocka, he sounds like a moron. Talks over the top of the video ref all the time.

    Brandy is the best. He loves the Roosters and when he fires up, it's gold.

    There's lots of hate for both Blocka and Kevvie in the Facebook chat I'm in with Benny, Gemmell, Julian haha. They're both terrible. I think Blocka was tolerable on the radio but on TV he's the worst.

    He's by far the worst commentator on television IMO. He's too often wrong and won't back down on his dated rule interpretations.

    We all can Channel 9 but I'd 100% rather watch a game covered by Warren-Gould-Sterling-Fittler/Johns than Smith-Alexander-Anasta-Smith (didn't list Raymond because he's their saving grace).

    Walters is by far the dumbest cunt going though. Literally has no idea about anything. I always bring this up but on 360 earlier in the year he said he didn't watch the Tigers game they were talking about. Then 10 minutes later when him and Daley gave their 3-2-1 power performance of the entire round he gave 3 points to Mitchell Moses and harped on about how he controlled the game quite nicely. He's a deadset moron and Cameron Smith coached that Qld team this year.

    I actually think otherwise on Walters. He comes across as a complete moron with no insight most of the time, especially when commentating. Listening to him when it's unscripted though, I've been a little surprised that there actually is a functioning brain in there. I don't think he's any less shrewd as a coach than what Daley is.

    He just shouldn't be on tv though.

    Not sure where to put it but this'll do. Sharks not being granted a home semi final is a fucking joke of the highest regard.

    Sort of have to wonder why the Cowboys, whose stadium holds only 4000 more, can have one but not Cronulla.

    I do think prelims should only be played at either Suncorp, ANZ or the SFS, all of which hold well in excess of 40,000. (I don't think prelims should be played at AAMI like last year as it only takes 30,000).

    Qualifiers and semis though, yeah they should go home team. I mean look at Easts vs Melbourne in last year's finals series - 20,000 people. Cowboys vs Sharks - 21,000.

    Yep exactly. What's the NRL's incentive to have it at the larger stadium?

    I read one reason being that they're allowing more sharks fans to attend the game. If that's the case though the club themselves should have the final say on that, if they want to risk putting people off side by hosting our semi at our limited seat home ground with less tickets then so be it. It would mean squat as there's not a Sharks fan breathing who supports the move to the larger stadiums.

    Yeah clubs should definitely be able to play their first-round finals games wherever they like IMO. I can understand week 2 being "home city" rather than "home ground" but week 1 should definitely be home ground.

    That's a crock of shit. For one thing, there's no guarantee that it will, and for another as you said no serious club fan would forfeit the immense advantage of playing at a ground in which they're undefeated, just so they could attend at the SFS.

    It's a pretty big deal. I'd rather play Cronulla at the SFS than, say, Melbourne at AAMI or the Cowboys in Townsville. I wouldn't want to have to travel to Shark Park in week 1 though.

    If anyone sees odds for Cronulla not making the prelims let me know.

    Can't stand Johns.

    Honestly on my list as the number 1 cunt I just can't stand, even ahead of Anasta.

    He was so much more tolerable when he didn't take himself seriously.

    I don't know why it annoys me so much but the fact that Johns uses his fucking middle finger on the touchscreen instead of his index finger like a normal person makes me hate him so much. So glad I haven't had to put up with that this year. Avoiding that is worth the cost of Foxtel alone IMO.

    Shit Commentator Power Rankings
    Brandy - sucks balls and will complain about a decision for 20 mins after it happens.
    Blocker and Kevvie - fucking punish to listen to, absolute dead weight.
    Wally - has to give at least 5-minutes of verbal diarrhoea anytime someone asks him a question.
    Joey - slobs on the knob of anyone who does a decent kick in general play. When a torpedo goes up you just know he's about to start dribbling about it. Seems to really love rating shit rookie wingers like Addo-Carr and Vunivalu too.
    Gaz - retarded, but in a non-offensive way.
