Wildcats Announcement?

^ Good point. I guess I'm not that fussed about what the court announcer brings as far as getting the crowd up and about, just as long as he's not annoying, and neither Neil or Lachie are annoying. Both have different takes on the game.

The thing I find strange about Neil Barnard is that he seems to lack the almost.. familiarity with the players on the court. Lachie Reid's chats or talks with the crowd use actual players names... so for instance with Kenny made that shot from just outside the line, Lachie spoke up about it just after it happened, mentioned his name several times and even mimic'd the shot to the crowd later.

I dont remember Neil ever getting as involved.

I think Neil Barnard does a great job and I would hope he's still the number one option. Lachie is good to have as a fill in. Its very likely that he was just that though - filling in. His impact was great, but at the same time the Cats are doing well with Neil too. So its not as though they were in need of a replacement.

I'm a Lachie Reid fan like a lot of fans are, so I hope he can do a few more games, for the variety of having different announcers during the season.

He needs to either come back full time or not at all, IMO. These occasional one-off returns just make it all the more obvious how much better he is than the other guys.

I think the Cats were trying to permanently get him back . It would be nice but I think it might be a stretch with all the other stuff he has going on.

Wildcats have just tweeted " There’ll be a BIG surprise for the #RedArmy at tonight’s game! What will it be…? "

It better be good, I have a strong dislike for over hyping

I'd be stoked with a Prather Re-signing bout I doubt it will happen.

Knowing Gossage - it's most likely Lachie Reid being signed to be the game MC for the Australia Day Even match where the focus will be on fund raising for the Bush Fires in the State's south west.

They could be attempting to short out Brisbane by resigning Jawai

My money is on Redhage retiring.

Either that or Beal/Prather re-signing.

Would be very surprised if it was a player signing as there wouldn't be enough games left for a new player to qualify for the finals. Maybe they are going to announce Ennis for next year hehe
