Yeah.. rabbits CALLED the game.. Nowadays matt talks 3/4 of the game n calls 1/4 of the game. It's a disgrace to rabbits. When you call a game, you should need to watch the screen to know what's going on. With matt calling, you need to watch the screen. You can correct me if im wrong.
Congratulations Matt on getting your first Origin commentary gig. Well deserved. We will all miss the voice of rugby league, especially at origin time. Gus's stories about Rabs are the best. Love this podcast & Long Live The Godfather Of Rugby League. Also, how good is the stories of origin podcast... PHENOMENAL!!!
I was happy when Vossy left 9. To think he would replace Ray Warren was horrifying. Thompson may still improve, but for now, he's closer to Vossy in his style than he is to Rabs. IMO Warren Smith is the game's premier caller and has only had Rabs ahead of him for quite a few years
NSW attack will win this game. High points game I think. But with Cleary, teddy, staggs and NSW ball playing forwards I think they will get the win. Queensland 18 to NSW 22. Queensland forwards make up a great pack but the NSW forwards have far more skill I think. Having 7 Panthers helps as well. The most inform halves of the comp as well as the most inform fullback and inform ball playing forwards. Going to be a great series
Sterlo, now Rabs! What an absolute honour to hear these guys in commentary!
Absolutely. Gonna be pure nostalgia anytime I watch an old game.
Maybe we see less Parra games on a Friday.
Gonna be Vossy anytime now :(
The voice of my childhood is officially gone.
Goodbye Rabs, the voice of rugby league😢😭 I already miss him
Ray's Golden voice! Sets him apart. Simply the best!🎙
He really wasn't a caller that really stood out. His voice wasn't iconic, more like a gimmick.
@@youchwb6005 there's door mate..
Only IMMORTAL in League history.. that wasn't a Player 🥇
Yeah.. rabbits CALLED the game..

Rabs the first non player/coach immortal
An absolute Legend and a treasure to Rugby League. Thank you for the memories Rabs!

A true legend of the game
I would love to see martin scorsese direct a movie about rabs in the same vane as the wolf of Wall Street. It would be halarious 😂
Gus, not just one of the great Coaches of all time but what a Raconteur! No wonder the players played for him....
Nightingale is an award thing! Funniest Rabbs/Gus moment ever.
Parking inspectors pockets were full TOO.. made there years salary in one day of coarse they want another game there...lol $$$$$
Fantastic Rabs stories - thanks Gus!!
haha Gus does a great Rabs impression

This is awesome, can listen to this for hours.
Mat Thompson always looks extremely bored doing this and Freddie and the 8th lol
Trivia question, the last intercept try Rabs called. (hint, it wasn't anyone from Parra)
what about the first (hint: its not from parra)
Crichton?
It’s pretty obvious seeing the grand final was his last call …
His Retirement
Im coming back to this doing a mafathon of gus and Rabs. 😂 woohoo
now channel 9 has matt thompson instead of rabs, sigh have to watch footy muted these days
Why not finish origin 3 the decider

Rabs was the ABSOLUTE best, and I reckon there will be no one better - EVER!!!
Should play the highlights of Gus and rabs arguing. There’s plenty to choose from.
Cotter has some good predecessor's, Gillmeister, Gary Coyne, Rod Morris, and 3 or 4 others come to mind.
Did Rabs ever call a Selwyn Cobbo try? I know he debuted last year so Rabs might have called a few then.
I noticed that about Rabs too some nights he sound bored then other nights really excited! guess it was about the crowd
Rabs on the footy and Richie Benno on the cricket! 2 icons of Australian sport
“The voice or rugby league”
Nuff said
NSW has a long way to go to beat their own magnificent record of winning 21 years in a row.
Good luck boys. I wish you all the best.
An here he is again. With he same comment. Reliving the glory days huh
@@krizmatthews874 Glad i have another fan. I get a few each year. It's a glorious record. Tissue??
