That’s really cool that someone put that together. Really highlights how miserable the Nine commentators can sound sometimes.
Gould's commentary was the real travesty
Great to hear someone of Brian Smith’s stature calling commentary teams to account. They are on the frontline when it comes to promoting rugby league and too many of them use their position to simply run the game down and vent their frustrations.
SMITHY: Ennis's antics not enough for the Dogs
Hate’s too strong a word. Don’t know the bloke personally. But I have disliked him as a coach ever since his Cronulla days because of his habit of shifting blame. Referees, players, media, administration – everyone has copped it. Watch his press conferences over the years and they’ll play like a broken record.
Everybody hates Ricky, but why?
FULL-TIME: Raiders 4 – Broncos 28
Comprehensive in the end for the Broncos. Two very different halves of football but the Broncos managed to win them both. The first was a real arm wrestle without a single penalty given, but Brisbane managed to win the battle for territory and capitalised with a couple of tries to in-form winger Dale Copley.
The second half was a much different affair – scrappy at times, tempers flaring and 11 penalties blown. It was played much more heavily in each side’s 20m and it was the Broncos who took their chances.
The Raiders did a lot of things right but they really lack that killer instinct in the opposition’s 20m. They got caught on the last tackle on more than one occasion, their short kicking game wasn’t all that accurate, and they generally failed to trouble the Broncos’ defence despite building up a fair bit of pressure from the 60 minute mark onwards.
Huge games from McGuire and Parker up front for the Broncos, and I thought Hunt and Hoffman controlled the game well on the back of that. Hunt in particular continued his strong form and, as we found out tonight, has been rewarded with a place in the Queensland Origin side for Game 2. Jack Reed should also be singled out for his defensive effort on Jack Wighton tonight – Wighton is dangerous in attack but Reed had his number every time.

79′ So it’s all a bit ugly for the Raiders in the end, Shillington was showing some frustration in the earlier scrum and he’s fallen blind for a dummy there by Glenn.
CONVERSION SUCCESSFUL from Hunt.

77′ Double knock-on as Shillington gets a hand to a pass and then Copley loses it. Broncos to feed the scrum 45m out from Canberra’s line, can they get a late one?

75′ Forward pass from Campese to Vaughan called – looked flat, bit of a tough call there, but the Raiders really haven’t troubled the Broncos’ defence much at all tonight.

74′ Mistake by Lowrie in the play-the-ball and Canberra will feed the scrum just inside Brisbane’s half, but there’s not enough time left on the clock here.
Papalii limping off here… looks in a bit of trouble, another concern for Queensland?

68′ Croker grubbers on the last and chases through to tackle Barba in-goal – however we’re going back for a late hit by McGuire on Milford. Penalty called, McGuire on report for the second time tonight.

65′ Shillington runs a good line and almost breaks through off an inside ball but a brilliant legs tackle by McGuire saves the day – he off-loads to keep the play alive but White knocks the ball on and the Raiders remain on duck egg.

62′ So Reed has done a big job in defence on Wighton tonight but he’s leaving the field now for a concussion test – can the Raiders take advantage of the reshuffled left-side Broncos defence?

Yeah I agree… you can tell from Johns’s commentary why he was such an amazing player. He sees the game in ways no one else does. Obviously not the most natural speaker but he constantly points things out that I’d never have seen on my own.
Gould's commentary was the real travesty
