Roy and HG to call Test Matches

[.X.]

DIG out the card table, dust off Fatso and wake up King Wally Otto in the sound-proof booth.

The kings of Aussie sporting radio, Roy and HG, are back.

In a major coup, the legendary commentary pair are set to come out of semi-retirement to call the Wallabies v British and Irish Lions Test series, which begins next week in Brisbane.

Roy Slaven and HG Nelson, who became cult figures with their calls of the State of Origin, the Festival of the Boot (NRL and AFL Grand Finals) and the Olympics – to name but a few , have been signed up by Samsung to call the Lions series on their new “Samsung Stadium” app.More Here

BERNARD Foley’s backflip from his Melbourne Rebels contract had tongues wagging in Australian rugby, and most of the talk contained another name: James O’Connor. One whisper floating around is the ARU were desperate to keep O’Connor in Melbourne and increased his top-up as an incentive, which in turn put the already cold feet of Foley in a bucket of ice. It is suggested the ARU don’t want O’Connor to leave the Rebels without a major star, and they were keen to keep all the amigos in separate cities as well, with Kurtley Beale set to move back to NSW next season.

Why the hell do the Rabble get help to keep their 'stars' in place but we're seen as a warehouse for young blokes that NSW and Queensland can't be bothered developing but would like to buy if they prove capable in any way?

Not Happy Jan!

I have to agree with Gigs
Sorry cant list them all but I would say we have had at least 10 young unknown young 17 or 18 yr old kids and taken them to top level then poached by the ARU to go and star in the east ... The ARU needs to be audited on player payments and made accountable for it actions.... As we all know 2011 saw a Eastern states team given a side step in payment fixing and nothing was done that would penalise the team... EWF should join the asian comps like the Glory considered .

Is the ARU going to help us keep our star player HB? I don't think so
