Azania is quite likable. I think she would make a better presenter than commentator. Commentating is a long time talking. That is a problem if you don't really have anything to say. Presenting, it can all be scripted for you.

I have to agree with what's already been said about Azania. I'm sure she's a lovely person, I just don't think she's a very good commentator (yet). I don't know why she seems to be the preferred co-commentator by the league. I actually don't mind her analysis when she's on Inside the Paint.
As for Todd Harris, I don't think he's bad at all, he's just not the best the league already have at their disposal so I don't know why he seems to be the leagues preferred choice for big games (actually I fear I do, it's his American accent).
In my opinion you still can't beat the combination of Dan Routledge and Ant Rowe for the big games, and if they're ready and available I don't know why they aren't the leagues primary commentary team (again, I fear I do - see my earlier point).
And whilst I'm on a bit of a rant, I haven't warmed to Jeanette Kwakye either. I still miss Nat Coombs in that lead presenter role.

I used to watch the whole BBL program. I liked the whole build up. Now I just watch the game. I'm not interested in the other stuff, unless maybe if there's a guest presenter I like. |

an expert summariser without anything expert to say rather defeats the purpose.

Presenting, it can all be scripted for you. I think she made a much better player than either of the other two occupations. |

I have free tickets to the semi finals on Saturday. It's quite a long drive. I don't have anyone to go with. I'm debating with myself whether or not to go.

Can Riders get to the final? Definitely and as a plus…well it is for us but not for Ethan Chargois, he sustained a freak hand injury on Sunday Vs Sharks, He was taken to hospital where he was kept in overnight for assessment. He underwent successful surgery on a dislocated finger. I love how Massiveridersfan is always looking on the positive side LOL |

Yes you can imagine the upset around me on Sunday when Ethan, who has arguably been our best player this year, got injured in a meaningless game.
Then the strange decision to bring on Maceo when he already had heavily taped fingers made things worse.
If Maceo is out then that's 2 of our starting 5 missing, advantage Riders.

It's so depressing when your team suffers injuries but when it's in a meaningless game, playing only for pride, that must be doubly annoying. |

Well I don't know if anyone is going to start a new thread but if not I'm going to throw my prediction in for the Final 4.
I think Nix will beat Riders however I have a funny feeling Caledonia might suprise us and defeat Lions in order to set up a Trophy Finals rematch.
Then maybe Nix to get their revenge on Caledonia in the finals.
MVP of Final-Aaron Rai
If anyone disagrees with me I can't say I blame you since I'm usually wrong on the big occasions.
But I'm going to go into this weekend as a neutral believing anything can happen.
