I actually think their coverage has improved in the past year or two with Cameron Smith and Billy Slater in commentary more often. They are two of the best and most interesting new ones, and I’d rather listen to them than any of the Fox co-commentators.
It’s an interesting situation as for mine, Voss and Ginnane are the current ‘voices’ of rugby league commentary and 9 really needs to pick one of them up.
I’d expect though that they’d not only need to leave Fox, but leave their radio roles at SEN/Triple M and also the Sportsbet podcast for Ginnane so that they could appear on 9’s radio stations and podcasts instead. I don’t know if Ginnane would do that given he’s been the #1 caller for a long time on Triple M and already calls Origin/Grand Finals there. He also has more freedom to speak his mind there and on the Sportsbet podcast than what 9 would allow him to on their shows - but then that might just be what 9 needs for their coverage.
Usually I watch Fox’s coverage, but obviously can’t here. Nine just have far too many cooks in the kitchen. It feels like you’re getting whiplash with all the different voices on air - including the crosses to the coaches who are both part of the 9 extended family.
Someone had already presented caps… you could have been more descriptive in what you were talking about… “the scoreboard seems to be more transparent”. Better then an ambiguous post in the first place
Sorry they were the 9now caps. My apologies.
Still you could have been more descriptive in what the change is.
It’s be like me saying “the news is different” rather than posting something that is more informative.
I don’t agree on calling mods arrogant either. Just because we sit behind keyboards doesn’t give the right to throw stick at people like that. I find that arrogant.
I’ve said my piece now. I’ll move on
On topic, I don’t know how I feel about the score bar being transparent on the side now. I don’t think it’s necessary, not sure why the change was implemented tonight.
Unless it was a Perth thing - they do like to do things different in perms of presentation over there! Ha
Firstly, I was watching the game so kept it brief.
Secondly, I have no idea why people are complaining about me saying ‘the scoreboard has changed’. People can see for themselves. The amount of times people wrote ‘new graphics’ or ‘the graphics have changed’ etc. etc.
I can’t believe that my comment has come under fire this much. Anyway…
That is what Nine did with its double header format between 2007 and 2015. Both the matches would be played simultaneously at 7:30pm, but depending on the team/s involved, Match A would be shown live in NSW and on delay in QLD, and Match B would be shown live in QLD and on delay in NSW (and vice versa).
But going forward, I definitely cannot see Nine returning to that format, with matches no longer overlapping.
