Matt White
V8 Supercars, Moto GP, F1 , rugby union.. Do we have to see his annoying face everywhere? Just glad he isn't commentating NRL games.

He's just a **** commentator, with a very annoying voice. He's a "rent a commentator", doesn't know any particular sport intimately, so just rambles and spouts out worthless crap as he's only calling what he can see, which is the same as we can all see. He has no background info or knowledge, didn't use to be a driver / team owner / whatever, and that info that only comes from experience ( ala Crompton, Skaife, Larkham etc ) is what makes a decent commentator in my book. |

Anyway if Matt White was Martha White and had a decent body, no one would be complaining, everyone would be lining up for a date.... |

Can't string two words together, sooner she is replaced the better.

Perhaps Matt White tries a little too hard to come across like he wants the viewer to think he is/was a racer and that could be what hurts him. The likes of Woods, Wilko & Dazza were open that they weren't racing drivers, left the tech talk to their sidekicks, and just got excited about the action infront of them.... |

The SC coverage generally doesn't paint Ms Crehan in a very good light.
When she hasn't got a director barking into her ear-piece, she's ok. |

She's another one that needs to find a new job that has nothing to do with commentary or motorsport.

I don't know why they think they need Matt White or that blonde piece. Neil Crompton has hosted the entire show before and did fine. Just keep him, Skaife, Murphy and Markham in the pits, and it'll be much better, and a lot less cringe-worthy. |

Rhianna Crehan is the real world embodiment of the Smurfette Principle.
From Wikipedia : The Smurfette Principle is the practice in fiction, such as film and television series, to include only one woman in an otherwise entirely male ensemble. It establishes a male-dominated narrative, where the woman is the exception and exists only in reference to the men. Effectively, Rhianna is our Smurfette. |

If past experience is any indicator of future performance, like chalk and cheese.

Rhianna displays a genuine enthusiasm and her interview with Will at Bathurst last year was a highlight, although like Shea, she brings little real insight to the role. |

Ms Crehan could offer insight as she has done in the past, but isn't being utilised that way.
Does have medical and fitness background. Has potential to touch on things not normally spoken about. |

That being said, I have more exposure to Shea through her RadioLemans.com work than Rhianna and her VASC gig. |
