Roger Rasheed

[EssendonBombersFC]

Anyone else think he's full of shit?

 

[caboose]

Not me. I like him.

IMO, it's the reverse of what you claim.

Unlike everyone else on Seven who commentates on the men's games except Courier, he actually provides the occasional insightful opinion that's worth listening to.

For example, like the stuff he said tonight about what he and Hewitt worked on (and where the weaknesses in Djokovic's game were) prior to the US Open victory over Novak in '06. Very interesting, and the sort of thing you'd rarely be likely to hear from the unbelievably boring Alexander, Woodbridge et al.

Too biased towards Hewitt. People used to complain about Eddie on Friday night football when the Pies played. Rasheed is just as bad.

 

[swanniez1983]

lol....just said that Hewitt should do well as the new balls are out. Hewitt then gets his serve broken...good on ya Rasheed

 

[MacMum]

He's a big pain in the .........neck!!....Wish he would shutup...

.. and yet we also have a thread on this board titled 'Roger Rasheed's clear bias against Hewitt'.

That there's such a 180 degree split probably proves he doing a really good job.

 

[EssendonBombersFC]

Rasheed said something about what Hewitt has to do to win this game and Jim Courier asked him whys that and he went and changed the subject.

 

[thewhippersnapper]

Who cares if he's bias towards Hewitt he is commentating for an Australian only audience.

Yeah, but how many people have diasagreed with the opening poster's comment? Sounds like a few more people actually agree with me in the other thread.

Most people in that thread actually seem to be somewhere in the middle.

 

[swanniez1983]

Great...we go from one ex-Hewitt coach to another. Are we doing a "This is your life" episode?

 

[scarecrow2k1]

Rasheed is a great commentator, actually knows what he's talking about and has interesting insights
Courier + Rasheed is the best commentary combo 7 have

I enjoyed Cahill when he came on.

Was better than Rasheed I thought.

Yeah, Cahill is usually very good.

Hadn't heard him during this tournament until now, though. Wonder where he's been.

 

[scarecrow2k1]

I didn't hear him, when was he on?

 

[caboose]

2nd set, I think it was.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Yeah 2nd set. Was strange that he just randomally popped up like that and I agree he is quite good.

Cahill would have to be the first commentator this year that when a 7 promo pops up he completely ignored it. Top form.

But I also like Rasheed as a commentator who doesn't mince his words and says what he thinks.

 

[Arcadion]

Who cares if he's bias towards Hewitt he is commentating for an Australian only audience.

Except that most Aussies actually can't stand him.

Probably why he hasn't been on then.

 

[scooterb]

I hate Rasheed. He talks so much shit such as:
"You can feel Lleyton's positive energy"
And he talks about destiny and shit. etc...

He makes it too complex. Tennis is a simple sport, just watch it and enjoy it.

 

[MacMum]

Also states the bleedin' obvious.....as if we are all dills and dont know a thing about tennis..

 

[The GOAT]

talk about biased towards Hewitt- had him right in the match until it was over

 

[B-Bomber]

I think that Courier does a good job of keeping him honest. As the open has progressed he's picked up on this and seems to me like he's backing up what he says more and talking less crap. The both of them make a decent duo, which has progressed well over time.

 

[caboose]

The poor bloke can't win.
