Doesn’t have quite the same ring to it but a good show none the less - glad it’s back.

JohnsonTV · February 20, 2018, 4:10am

Could NRL Try Time with Lara Pitt be the weekly highlights show for international networks?

New score graphic and placement.
Looks a bit bland.
And I don’t like the time remaining though… I prefer time elapsed.

OnAir · March 8, 2018, 9:19am

Can’t say I’m a fan either. Didn’t like last year’s either but at least they had it placed in the right area of the screen.

chuck · March 8, 2018, 9:35am

Yeah hate countdown timers. Ch9 has the better set up on screen. Plus don’t like Scoreboard in high corner.

JohnsonTV · March 8, 2018, 10:32am

So this year Fox is taking Nine’s pictures only, without graphics.

Radiohead · March 8, 2018, 10:49am

At least FOX will have consistent graphics across all of its games now, even if they are inferior to Nine’s.

Who’s this Matt Nable guy calling the league? He’s woeful. Clearly hasn’t got any experience and just sounds so unprofessional.

Jack_Laverty · March 10, 2018, 6:47am

ex nrl player who is now an actor. not sure why he’s calling

OnAir · March 10, 2018, 7:20am

Probably time to remove the 3rd tackle graphic.

TFTV · March 10, 2018, 7:48am

I was really looking forward to hearing Matt Nable, but unfortunately, he wasn’t very good. He’ll improve over time, but right now, woeful.

Daniel_Anderson1 · March 10, 2018, 10:48am

Have to agree. i hope you listened to ABC’s call instead.

JohnsonTV · March 10, 2018, 11:02am

The Sunday Telegraph’s Phil Rothfield says Fox Sports has re-signed Lara Pitt and Braith Anasta for two and five more years respectively.

Jeffmister · March 10, 2018, 11:29am

Nable got better as the game went on but his calling style is something that needs to be worked on. However, want to hear him call a few more games before making a judgement about whether I like him as a commentator or not

nzwarrior51 · March 10, 2018, 8:59pm

I’m not sure why they didn’t put him through the systems calling lower grades

Jack_Laverty · March 11, 2018, 3:08am

i don’t think his a full time commentator

Radiohead · March 17, 2018, 8:22am

Gee, that SOU text for the Rabbitohs is hard to read!

They may have been better off reversing the red and green colours
