  • A HHHHUUUUUUUGGGGGGGEEEEEE loss and one of the greats of bradcasting

    • The NRL had better induct him into the HOF

  • Legend. I remember him making the weight lifting exciting at the Commonwealth games. He was certainly the voice of Origin no doubt about that. RIP.

    • Didn’t he once get punted from the weightlifting for being too loud ?

      • That's true Brett - it was at the 1990 Comm Games. He was so loud the other commentators got the shits and in the end they moved him into a little room where he called the action from a monitor.

        I'm lucky enough to have met Big Daz on a number of occasions and he was a lovely bloke. Very warm hearted. He faught a great fight.

        Rest In Peace legend..

  • IM going to miss him calling the games 

    RIP

"HFK, If I'm wrong about Pezet & he turns out to be a complete lemon, so be it. We all get things wrong, make mistakes, make false assumptions.
What kind of six is Ryles after? Dunno. But Pezet appears to have footy IQ with swagger, a kicking game,…"
