Former Nine News reporter Jake Duke is the sideline commentator on FOX League for tonight’s Dragons v Sharks local derby (go Sharkies!).

He any good?
He seems alright.
He hasn’t had to do or say a lot yet, but he’s done a lot of NRL reporting for Nine before, so he should know his stuff.

FOX launched a new camera during the Roosters v Manly game. My word they were very clear picture quality and awesome.

Yeah is it the cinematic quality camera? Nine had that on Thursday night, and the NFL broadcasters (particularly FOX) had them last year/season.
How is it different to the cameras used on the 4K games?

Not sure if they are exactly the same, but it’s the same concept as these:

I think the cameras are also used for Stan/Nine’s coverage of Super Rugby matches.

Why does Fox League still need artificial crowd noise even though fans are allowed into stadiums?

It sounds a bit better to the listener at home? I’m guessing…
