Inside Shoulder

I have to vent over Marto on Rugby 360 last night.
Cheika proved yet again why he gets results with his straight talking and insight.
he Ozzie who made the Kiwis what they are today, Byrne, also had some great insights.
and then there there was that bore (or is it boar), Marto.
Union's answer to Kyle Sandilands - he is an A grade goose.
Im almost prepared to forgive Campo for that pass against the Lions just so i can blame Marto.
Do Fox ever listen to the viewers or has he got a job for life?

Rugby 360 is better this year than last year, when I thought it was pretty dire. But Marto is doing a good job if you define that as being a goose. He's the one negative in a room full of positives. If you replaced him with Nathan Sharpe, who is very straight-forward and definitely not Gregan-boring, I reckon the team would be complete.

like how Richard "Pod" Turner and Nisbo just get on with it.
Compared to Justin Marshall barking his nuts off about fuck knows what
eg
Joe Wheeler barges some bloke, off the ball
Marshall: "USED HIS FOREARM THERE, NOT SHOULDER, THAT WAS WITH THE FOREARM, NO SHOULDER CHARGE THERE..."
TMO: "Shoulder charge."
Ref: "Righto, thanks."
Yellow card

He was only about 12" off. Has concerning implications for his life in general.

Greg Clarke is the worst, by far, we watched the Soap Dodgers with the English commentary.
Clarke never says anything insightful at all. Never. All he does is tell you what you can see, plus regurgitate endless trivial statistics. Far worse than Gordon Bray at his most egregious, and that's saying something.
Phil Kearns is close behind. A former Wallaby hooker who knows nothing about the game.

Tend to agree. Clarke seems to me to be trying the James Brayshaw style of hyping the game up rather than the Benaud avenue of just adding insight.
If we didnt find the game interesting we wouldnt have tuned in so why he persists with this League style shouting and carrying on I'll never know.
My wife can now do a great imitation of Greg Clark saying "that's a real coach killer" and knows exactly when he's going to say it.
He sure loves his sporting idioms.

You'd have thought a forearm charge would be the worse offence.

It's the well-worn American sportscasting commentary team formation: one expert for when the action stops, one motormouth to actually call the game, and one complete goose to provide 'color'.

Phil Kearns tears Flash Flood **Warning** issued for Greater NSW area
--SMH—
A flash flood warning of Phil Kearns tears has tonight been issued for the Greater NSW area.
“The Kearns tears are particularly caustic tonight” warned amateur anaesthesiologist Trevor Gunston. “For residents of NSW to come into direct contact with the tears could result in the corrosion of their footy dreams and the melting of playoff aspirations. Foreigners are fine. They should wallow in the tears. Even rub them all over their private parts. Good for the complexion.”
“Furthermore” continued Dr Gunston, “the Kearns Boil should be avoided by all NSW residents as it has today been LANCED by a visiting New Zealand rugby team and has been upgraded to **CAUSTIC**”
"And thus the foreigners shall sup deeply from The River of Kearns Tears, a cleaven trench wending through the land of Wollongong, a trench laden with a nutritious bounty, the tears of Phil Kearns, tears that can heal the foreign, beget the misbegotten immigrant, and generally give everyone not from the Greater NSW area a goddamn huge great big stiffy" said the Bible.
The Kearns Boil Watch: **CAUSTIC**

Reckon they are all shit. Horan and Kearns in particular should be flicked
The state tribalism they display is terrible but they also constantly bag Australian rugby
Hoiles provably not too bad

listening to fox sports commentators and having nz teams win, its almost like a extra bonus point win after their commentary for the whole game, im sure aussie fans feel they same when aus teams beat kiwi teams and they. have had the kiwi broadcast, maybe more so as the wins are so rare

Another Clarke favourite is "penalty against the attacking team!!!!!!!"
