Nathan Thompson - Worst panelist ever

Nah Nathan Buckley's got that well and truly stitched up. But they seem to have him on every second week! Dunno why.

 

[ManWithNoName]

And why is he the only one who can really rile Sam Newman?

You obviously never saw Dean Rioli on the show.

What, apart from the glaring obvious, is Cracking a Fat? haha

This year it's slingshotting a marble into a plate. In the past it has been cracking a porcelan fatty with a cricket bat, then tackling a fatty (not the real one of course).

Excellent interview with Woosha last night, straight down the line told it as he sees it, no bull****. Particularly liked his description of the Chick/Embley 'organised sparring session', without gloves

Bring back 'Before the Game'

Bring back 'Live and Kicking'

 

[stmookeyj]

And the best bit was when Judas basically called Demetriou a ******** thinking it was his cheesy moment coming on.

Bring back 'Before the Game'

A completely different show...i enjoy it more than TFS...but you sounded like it went somewhere...will be back Sat week, yay

Very average ep last night.

Best parts were Worsfold talking about Ben Cousins, and the other problems at the Eagles, and INXS performing two songs live.

Billy's spin the wheel stuffed up bad, as did Sam's botox imo.

Panelists were: N.Brown, M.Maguire, and J.Akermanis.

 

[Bombers_Forever]

it was ordinary last night because there was no games to preview or discuss and really, the whole show was consumed by one issue. There was really no need for the panel

 

[NSWCROW]

Funniest part was the return of GARY on the stretcher

 

[Kingpin]

These inter-channel alliances and business deals give me the absolute SH_TS, because no matter what the issue, you get people's opinion bought with money.

There's no intergrity with sports personalities anymore. Just listen to the Morning Glory on SEN, with the 3 channels represented, they all align themselves with their station.

Then you have Channel 9 now, after years of bagging opposition football coverage, telling the world how great Fox are. Rubbish.

Agree

[PLSC]

what happened to the footy players who were more interested in making some jokes or really bringing some quality stuff to the table nowadays it seems like they are in the makeup room from 7pm until the show starts and they act like stiffs all through the show

people bag crawf and fev but those blokes are alright atleast they give something and dont care if they look like idiots because they act like themselves lol

nrl footy show is quality, matty johns is ****ing genious

NRL Footy Show > AFL Footy Show.

 

[johnnyhoward]

NRL Footy Show > AFL Footy Show.

Tell us something we don't know - these shows are for entertainment rather than serious football discussion and in terms of sheer entertainment, the NRL show wins easily.

 

[NSWCROW]

NRL Footy Show > AFL Footy Show.

5 years ago i would have agreed !

 

[peternorth]

Can somone tell me where that dweeb reporter from last year is now that hutchy is in.

who is that babe on the jim beam ad??? "i know they go to strip tease, its ok, i not jealous!

 

[Bourky23]

very very sharp tonight!! its always better when crawf is on!! love it when billy brings out the footage of his goal!

 

[Chuppa Chupp]

Chris Jones? he is now a sports reporter for National Nine News.

 

[chickens_law]

Chris Jones? he is now a sports reporter for National Nine News.

Hutchi has now replaced Jones.

 

[footyman]

its always better when crawf is on!!

Exactly. Sam wasn't happy with all the boat references from Crawf. Crawf has a knack of finding something to upset Sam with on every show.

 

[wally funk]

its always better when crawf is on!!

surely i'm not the only FS fan who really really hates crawford with a passion? annoying little idiot. the best (funniest or more interesting) panellists are brownless, akermanis, lloyd, matt mcguire, fevola. is hird ever still on? he's awesome too.

You cannot be serious????????????????? You think Lloyd is a funny/interesting panelist? I’ve heard it all now.

And yet you don’t like Crawford who is probably the best? Unbelievable.

 

[NSWCROW]

Billy was funny last night - " THE MONKEYS OFF THE BACK !! "

 

[Edd1e]

Lloyd sits there like a rock for most of the show. Certainly was this way in the past, improving a bit since last season.

Crawford and Newman = Gold

Only thing better is when you chuck Fev in the mix too
