[@hoppers6899]

Nearly 40 years of genius from these guys.

[@bretthoward5317]

Roy and Hg legends of Australian comedy I salute you both

[@CrabMobMADSc]

It really heartens me that these two SCRUBBERS are still kicking arse!!!!

[@andrewpelechaty7634]

Roy and HG are the perfect Vegas correspondents because they’ve been talking about the Vegas idea on “Bludging on the Blindside” for the past two years - even before it was officially announced.

[@MichaelLopresto]

Always have a good belly laugh with Roy and HG Nelson!

[@scottsheppard4332]

Bloody legends those guys are , I'd love to hear their commentary again of the Las Vegas games

[@brycejames8770]

The canned laughter was a pain. Respect these guys.

[@luciusverus7697]

"Flat bag, flat bag... hello boys!!"

[@dogman129]

Bring back This Sporting Life!!!

[@pageup213]

Roy and H.G, still got it.

[@Johnny-dz6vl]

Roy and HJ ARE Australian icons 😊😊

[@DuckReach432]

Great stuff. I think the boys are back on ABC radio this weekend.

[@arthurwatts1680]

The Festival of the Boot may be getting on in years, but it remains in good hands.

[@jmaros15]

Gotta love Roy &HG

[@russellhorsefield9199]

You gotta love Roy & HG , comedy relief is an all time high with them . I would love to see them again come 2032 on the Olympic games in Brisbane.

[@777Biggens]

Absolute legends - Long live Roy and HG

[@sthomson1246]

National Icons

[@jvvoid]

The Yanks might get to understand rugba league, but they'll never get Roy & HG.

[@scratchmibolzitch5002]

I remember when they did their first grand final call in a simulcast on Triple J. I laughed for a week 😂

[@matthewnicholls5496]

I laughed when the truck advertising "Escorts Direct to your Door" drove by during the NRL360 Show. They cut away and ten minutes later "Girls Direct to your Door" came into view!

[@jirskyrjenkins1959]

Roy and HG may get white haired but they never age.

[@stevemurrell6167]

They're hilarious.

[@pl0507]

They’re bloody funny 😄😄😄

[@Munrubenmuz]

It'll be a sad day when these blokes retire. Pure genius and been at it for 40 years.

[@milnez]

This is all I needed today 😂😂😂

[@mikeydread62]

Roy is on fire

[@TheDrRudi]

Truly, Australia, indeed the world, needs more Roy and HG.

[@ray.shoesmith]

I still have my Smiggins Holes 2002 Winter Olympics shirt here somewhere. Thanks Roy & HG 👏

[@gabrielplattes6253]

Legends! 😄

[@Darren88]

Legends. Australian Legends.👍👍

[@every1665]

Reminds me of when they covered the AFL and NBL grand finals one year when betting scandals among players had caused big problems. They had some fake betting ads urging single mothers with hungry children and overdue rent payments to bet the money because they were sure to win. Always wondered what someone might think if they tuned in without knowing what they were listening to.

[@edwardhill2051]

Bring back these legends of Commentary!

[@rickarnold6704]

So refreshing to hear these guys again. Always get a laugh. Love the free dumber like cry "communiss " from Roy.

[@jameshurley1302]

I think the US had a president who had played without a helmet!

[@peterlawrence738]

Legends

[@SR-bp3sk]

It will be good for the kiddies

[@petesmith9472]

HG is looking like he has had a hard life.

[@leanneblake4248]

Brilliant 😂

[@edwardcatton1047]

On Ya Boys!, Aussie true blue!.

[@duncanwallace7760]

They could teach the yanks the squirrel grip.

[@patrickcooper1125]

Come back boys.

[@andrewthomson137]

Thats right MATE!

[@CharliesTrousers-od3lt]

I think Russell lost the Yanks at "100 metres in length". He should have said that the pitch is "almost the size of one whole football field"

[@Mrflymess]

Spot on. All about Money.

[@Jazzmin.Alexandria12]

When was the game

[@whahappened8398]

Peter V'Landy's.. the greatest sporting visionary of our time has been in secret negotiation to bring 'SuperBowl' to Leichardt Oval... and rumour has it that King Wally Lewis will ride in on 'Rooting King' as part of the half time entertainment. '

[@johnbravo7542]

Russel Crow will be there in Vegas with mic in hand breaking the game down for the Americans blow,by blow.

[@multioptioned]

Any doubts that gambling runs NRL (including the results allegedly) have now been removed 😂 Only 💰 matters.

[@maxfish4770]

Will the card table make a sideline return?

[@greymouser8659]

''every Rugby League player has not always had a completely clean sheet.....and that is a good thing''. How very Duttonesque 😵‍💫

[@trevormcmanus1631]

First mistake - Crowy said 100 Metres. The Yanks would think 100 Metres was something you'd find in a big Parking Lot !

[@jackmasi9753]

Should’ve had hologram Tommy at the game

[@johnbrowne5951]

Boys, are you off to Paris later in the year?

[@bristolsonic]

Somebody should tell Russell none of the American pitches are 100 metres in length.

[@elroyfudbucker6806]

No forward passing, Russell? That's all I see in a league match. And I wonder what the yanks would have thought of the scrum, especially if Rusty explained the purpose off the scrum & about how the half-back feeds the ball into the tunnel only, at the last second, to hurl it into his team's second row, thereby denying the opposing team the chance of gaining possession of the ball. All in front of the referee.

[@trevorwilson2966]

im sure vegas wont even notice

[@R.E.A.L.I.T.Y]

Maaaaaaaaaaaaate!!! “Its confused them” its not bloody hard to confuse most Americans.

[@derekgleeson1353]

I was willing to suffer through the woke, fake laughing, wannabe Colbert to listen to Roy and HG. THAT is loyalty.

[@doughertySD]

Live audience.

[@LeonFelixRusso]

Can you tell us what "woke" actually means? #Duhh

[@bondalemecovillage6738]

Not a woke word spoken ahh, Roy & HG, real old school Aussies

[@noiamspartacus-]

funny guys

[@iam2deadly_au]

When the US media and KZbinrs start calling our game Rugby League and not just Rugby , I'll start to recognize what the NRL is doing , until then , , , ,

[@davidanthony6222]

Probably afl fans

[@user-jh9ko3ot8k]

I respect Roy and hj but this is tall poppy syndrome right there. Why would you have a go at the NRL for trying to bring rugby league to American tv screens.

[@doughertySD]

Thanks for telling us that you respect them both, and thanks for also telling us that you don't listen to them or watch them. Cos this is their bread and butter. In fact, this is them at their tamest.

[@lesliedaras-wells2510]

No comment

[@keithmitchell3282]

Caroline Kennedy understands that we Australians are mostly descendants from convicts and dont give a rat's A about visa's

[@grahamlwilson]

The canned laughter is over the top. Completely unnecessary ABC. Obviously your people just don’t understand reality.

[@doughertySD]

It's a live audience...

[@MrBlocky00]

Abc thumbs down. Enjoy gay and lesbian Madi gras I haven't heard anything about it on ABC Radio... Why push this,whats the angle?
