Rodney O?

I'm happy to see Rodney back. Sure, he's a bit rusty but seems to get better each game. It's a pity they didn't keep Mike around as his replacement is terrible, but I'm assuming the budget wouldn't stretch for both Mike and Rodney.

You can never have enough ClintDogg references.

Sydney ain't big enough for the C-Dog, Bill

Have to say that even at the tail end of his announcing before the Kings went under last time, he was dialing it in... Very repetitive and unenthusiastic, relying on his reputation as The Voice to carry him through...

I was glad to hear that he was back, but it's been a long time since he was behind the mic and really needs to put the effort in, as Eric had gotten decent and have a lot of people calling out "Who's ball?" even now... I always thought that it was catchy and the notoriously shit Sydney fans needed a catch phrase to get behind...

I say it every single time something like this is mentioned, but Sydney crowds are really hard to motivate and keep at a level of interest that actually translates into atmosphere, Rodney is going to have his work cut out and I don't know if he's that interested in putting it in...

Rodney has to be careful when announcing as he is giving the wrong information at times and causing issues between the Refs, teams,stats and scoretable.

Last saturday he called fouls on the wrong players before the refs signalled the foul and then you have teams jumping up and down about who got the foul when the stats agree with Scoretable and the team makes a sub when they do not have to because he announces incorrect information.

In the early days he was entertaining but time has taken it toll and he needs to concentrate and watch and listen better.

The kings play very entertaining basketball at present, the crowds have been very reasonable. It’s early season so it should get better as bigger game approach. Sydney is still a very fickle market and so far the new management making very good decisions imo.

He’s fine. Kings have been trying to imitate him ever since he left, so it’s some sort of justice that he’s back. At least he seems to have figured out how the Hungry Jacks promo works now.
