Vossy

Where’s the commentary from Vossy on the games?

[Moe syszlak]

He's doing the game at Warrington tonight. Already been tweeting from the Rodney pub!

[northamptoncougar]

Awesome 

[John Rhino]

Good value as always 

[Hughsehhh]

The guy is great, just look at his socials. Loves rugby league, was name dropping random amateur clubs in Lincolnshire during the commentary. Compared to most Aussies who either ignore the game up here or rubbish it, he's one of our biggest cheerleaders and carries a lot of weight down under.

If I was in charge of Super League, I'd pay him whatever he wants to emigrate here and be our #1 commentator

Cooplands probably won’t be happy he was promoting Greggs sausage rolls.

The Boston Buccaneers must be buzzing off their mention tonight, superb.

Very disappointed he wasn’t in the Three Pigeons round the corner given his enthusiasm for their Halifax namesake (the Halifax one is infinitely superior, mind)

[Rawschach]

Superb last night. The line about putting NAS's bins out even made my Mrs laugh.

His radio show in Sydney was on at the same time as the game, he rang in for a chat at half time!! Gotta love the blokes passion.

[DaneH]

Big fan of Vossy, he has great enthusiasm for the game and a good sense of humour too!

I know that he doesn't need to constantly oversell the game when commentating on the NRL (and he didn't last night by basically saying the last 20 mins was a dead game/garbage), but I'm finding the English commentators are overselling a little or spending alot of time explaining the rules after each play.

[MattSantos]

A God amongst men.

 

[marklaspalmas]

His out-and-out enthusiasm is infectious.

But this can only be a good thing when most of the viewers are new to the game. I really don’t mind it on a free to air World Cup. It’s a bit different when on a specific sports channel targeting established fans.

I’m sure even Vossy would be into it if he realised the scale of the expansion job we have on our hands in the U.K.

My mam knows virtually zero about rugby league …. From being around when I’m watching games my mam loves Vossy . Her only reaction to the World Cup was when I told her Vossy was on the commentary team . The only thing she remembers about 2013..? Vossy talking about his food tour of the north . Vossy is ace 

[graveyard johnny]

to be honest enjoyed his commentary on the NZ  game - reeled it in a bit from some of the over-the-top NRL stuff - putting his passion - knowledge and humour over really well - the uk weather may have dampened his over exitement and the greggs sausage roll give him a bit of indegestion - Robbie Paul was shocking though - would like to hear him next time with a better co- commentator 

[DavidM]

I’ve just clicked that Jenny Meadows is the 800m runner . She was good to 

[paulwalker71]

He was really good last night

Yes, he's enthusiastic, but he's also knowledgeable. Enthusiasm on its own in insufficient as we see with Barrie and Terry (among others)

[MatthewWoody]

Vossy also reminds me of some RL videogame.

Must have been the only person to buy and play it in Italy. 

[Number 16]

Vossy needs to be given the big games, with apologies to the excellent Dave Woods. Jaffa needs to be shunted aside, and Marbles given the lower profile matches.

[MatthewWoody]

But I can't imagine an England home game without Woods...

[wasginger]

He was that good last night that I turned the sound down. It's all well and good being enthusiastic about the game, but the short time I listened to him, there was nothing but ###### coming from him. In this country whoever the commentators are they get ripped to shreds for waffling about anything but the game. As they say one mans meat is another mans poison.

[The Future is League]

A 100% Rugby League man with a great knowledge and enthusiasm for our game

[graveyard johnny]

Adam Hills would be a great sidekick for Voss
