hunsletgreenandgold Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 If Vossy and Graham called the Final you'd have no complaints from me! Interesting to see some of the comments sections on Aus based social media also enjoyed that pairing compared to some the NRL combinations they have. Dave Woods on form can be alright but it's night and day when compared with AV. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattSantos Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Really enjoyed Graham as he clearly brings insight, but he's not too serious with it, hence the Bennett chat; i also think that he'll only get better as he gets more comfortable in the role. A little less shouty and saying Vossy in every sentence would help.

I was really impressed with Graham and thought the pairing was excellent. If I was Fox League I would be looking at pairing them up next season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular spot on NRL360 has helped in this regard. He's clearly looking for something post playing and i hope he sticks with the broadcasting as he's potentially very very good at it. 2 Running the Rob Burrow marathon to raise money for the My Name'5 Doddie foundation: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ben-dyas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrispmartha Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 I think what makes Voss so good is that he gets exactly the right balance of Witty, Irreverent and insightful. Â Graham is good because he's only recently retired and was at the very top level so he knows his stuff about the modern game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly in his podcast there is an interview with Gordon Tallis. Tallis says to him on a subject they are discussing you sound like a coach do you want to pursue coaching. Immediately, he replies no I know the person that would make me i have been that person and do not want to be that person again. I recommend his podcast " The Bye Round" It is one I have stuck with. 4 Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor but because we cannot satisfy the rich.

It's very good. Yes. He's also doing something on Concussion which i suspect will be released when NRL season starts. I'll be going through his bins later, so any requests, let me know. 2 Running the Rob Burrow marathon to raise money for the My Name'5 Doddie foundation: https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/ben-dyas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder how some still keep getting work. He obviously knows the current NRL players as well, which is lacking in their team of experts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
