Good question! He's bloody annoying as well. He had a promising start working at 9 under Rabs but it seems like the memo doing commentary at Foxsports was to raise your voice and create suspense and excitement at every possible moment even in terrible and dull games where not much is going on.

Also the new age of a million replays and multiple camera angles doesn't help with even the most smallest things get put under the microscope. Vossy making something out of nothing in that regard doesnt help his cause either

Rabs may be older and struggles at times but at least he knew when to pick and choose moments when to do such a thing

Someone high up in Foxsports or something I believe, just heard about it through others who work there.
Kind of like how Bec Wilson only worked with the Telecrap because her husband was high up at News and why Paul Crawley still works at Foxsports because his brother is high up (and well respected in comparison lol)

She is on Triple M for those who want to tune in. Should really be on Television though.

Warriors up by 6 with 9 minutes to go

Blocker: It's nearly impossible for the Roosters to come back now.

How does this guy get on TV?

Blocker: Thats a terrible challenge

Bunker: The challenge is successful
 
Apparently Blocker and Vossy had to call that game from Sydney which explains why they had no idea about Turbo going off and they had to scramble to figure out who had switched around to fullback. That makes sense because there was no talk or footage of it and apparently even the Sky coverage thought they were interviewing Tom afterwards when it was actually Jake. Pretty funny they accused 9 of ‘being cheap’ and ‘not sending enough people to Vegas’ when they can’t even fork out the money to send a few commentators NZ to call a game and see everything that goes on.

Here's the interview debacle:

 
Really liking Shaun Johnson on the panel. Has great insights and a good sense of humour. Plus he’s a real hot throbber.
 
Dan Ginnane is still the best play by play caller followed by SJ and Penitani being the best new panelists/commentators.

Billy and Joey still my best for actual color commentators right now.

There was another rumour (or some truth) that she broke up Jake Duke and Grace Fitzgibbon with a late night phone call to him. She thought nothing of it because she didn't even realise he was in a relationship and he didn't give away much if anything about it. They seemed pretty serious (living together) so I don't know what the intentions were on both sides there.
So possibly may explain why she quietly disappeared from working from Foxsports, on the flip side if the window is open for them to get together then not working together may raise less eyebrows in that regard.
AND she is moving to Sydney (possibly for more Triple M work) but uhh other stuff

Of course but this is just stuff that’s been reported and public knowledge which may have explained her absence from Foxsports

He needs to bring Tiffany on, or at least Ch9 should if she’s blacklisted on Foxsports

Glamorous NRL reporter claims she's been blacklisted by broadcasters

New Zealand sports reporter Tiffany Salmond has claimed she has been 'sidelined' by broadcasting bosses and did not step aside from NRL media.
www.dailymail.co.uk www.dailymail.co.uk

The players legitimately looked like they were comfortable talking to her like many good sideline commentators are.
Instead we have terrible interviewers shoved in our faces and TVs like James Hooper who has no television personality or charisma doing awkward interviews…
