Iâm assuming overseas stations will take Foxâs coverage, no?
Didnât we discuss this last week?
I was wondering whether the Fox will take Gus & Rabs as commentators or they use own commentators?
Four posts above yours champ.
Is the Fox commentary is on the DVDâs or Nine?
You may have to buy it and found out then.
Extended edition of NRL 360 tonight to cover the Billy Slater juidiciary case.
It went until 9pm eastern - the Slater decision was announced around 10mins earlier
I bought the Cronulla Sharks 2016 Grand Final win on DVD (surprise surprise!) and it had FOX commentary.
My main disappointment was that It wasnât available on Blu-Ray, the DVD picture quality was pretty ordinary too, even by DVD standards.
Personally, iâd get rid of Matt Nable and get someone like Glen Larmer(who does the NZ games.)
With the rumour of Warren Smith going to Nine, Fox League will be short of play-by-play callers and someone like Andrew Voss will have to commentate more than two matches per week.
Thatâs where someone like Glen Larmer or Stephen McIvor would come in for extra matches.
