Towards the end of the 90's "More than a game" became players dressing in suits and Eddie pushing the business side eg board issues, membership drives etc, and as an antidote to this, the humour had to be written into it, with crass, put-on skits that got tired pretty quickly.


The show went downhill once Trevor Marmalade left it.

Rex was a great part of a past era, wore his heart on his sleeve and always spoke his mind. Added plenty of excitement to the calls also

I get it delivered along with the Saturday Tiser, access to their website and a Supecoach Special deal for about $3 a week, fat load of good it's doing me.

It does help when we do a little fire out the back on a Saturday evening.

Jesper Fjeldstad also goes.
