Last night I was thoroughly enjoying myself whilst watching the NRL preliminary final between the Cowboys and the Roosters, one of the most pleasing aspect was the level of professionalism of the commentary team.

It was refreshing to hear all time greats of a sport call and analyse a game with understated observations, instead of the Boys club self-aggrandizing of Channel 7's amateur (3) hour broadcast.

It's such a shame that the NRL's main broadcasting commentary team completely shits all over Bruce and friends.

Yes Lingy we know there are 95,000 people there but you don't need to shout at us because you're holding a ****ing microphone to your mouth
The bride was in the the kitchen when Ling started shrieking at one stage and yelled out to me, and I shit you not,

"Who is that screaming banshee? Why have they trialled a female caller in the finals?"

Err that's Cameron Ling my love.

"F***" was the response from the kitchen.

The NRL commentators are not trying to be immortalised in one soundbite. Every ****stick in the AFL world is trying to give us our next "Jezza you beauty" moment.

And we are lesser as a game for it.

With all the tech wizzes available in this country can we, the tortured viewers and listeners , get the radio and TV coverage synchronized? I would love to get the broadcast but listen to my preferred commentators
