I am from England and watched super league /NRL all my life, but when I think of rugby league and think of commentary there is only one true great especially State of origin …What a legend. Ray Warren, so glad I grew up in your era..True great…PS Do The 100 🙏
I am from narrandera in nsw ray warren comes from a town near there.
I am from France and only discovered Rabs' voice about 10 years ago. He is the voice of RL. True legend of the game
Thanks for doing these Mark. You don’t get the recognition these deserve.
Rabs is everybody's grandfather. Amazing guy made more amazing by how humble he is. He's added flavour to the game with his personality - fantastic.
BTW how long before Marky gets the man, the myth, the legend - Billy Birmingham?
That's not a voice, it's a miracle.
Cheers bro, I'm from New Zealand, but, KING RAY , I've love since, I first heard back in 81!!!!! , I'm 60.
No league without Ray!!
Immortalise this man and his voice!
Man this dudes voice is so iconic, he would make watching the footy 100x better love ya rabs
Love ya rabs !! I was lucky enough to serve Ray Warren a tin of Tooheys when he walked into bottle shop i was working at when i lived in Sydney . This was a few months after channel 10 had sacked him at the end of the 1986 season .
He was going to the Chinese restuarant a few doors up for a feed and i just said the beer is on the house mate .
Absolute legend. We love you, Rabs.
Iconic Rabs! What a great example of what it is to be successful through devoting yourself to something you love. A humble gentleman and absolute legend!
My late father was a man of league coach selector always thought rabs has a unique voice calling footy I wish you good health Ray and your family 🙏 cheers Stephen 🍀
As a kiwi 🥝 he is the greatest sports commentator of all time he set the standard / benchmark / knowledgeable about sports A MAN WITH INTEGRITY Eg when he called a rugby league game test match Aussie / New Zealand 🇳🇿 he called it the way he saw it fairly 💯👍🏾👏👏Thank you 👍🏾🇳🇿fan RAY RABS. WARREN
The voice of the 90's 2000's my childhood what a legend humble genuine.
These are great podcasts mark
What a gentleman.
Humble. Kind.
Straight talking.
What a legacy Ray has left.
Great interview Mark.
I’ve enjoyed a lot of your interviews and listening to you as a whole but this is by far your best work yet.
There’s still plenty of time to have this Gentleman commentating on Super League. A class act.
Effin fantastic thanks Mark. Hail to the Rabs and still miss his calls. Took them for granted, he was always gunna be there then he wasn't.
Tears in the eyes after ... No silver spoons created a legend...
I try an imitate Ray's golden voice with one of my clients who is a big league and State of Origin fan. Even though I managed to impress him, I can only dream of reaching those magic keys Ray naturally vocalises. Love ya work Ray and Mark! Your channel needs more exposure and deserves a whole lot more views.
I get a warm fuzzy feeling when I hear him on rugby league match
I think I fell in love with Rugby League because of Ray Warren. Really miss his call and wish he would come back, I dont care if that's selfish.
I agree with you, The commentary since he left is sub par.
As a AFL bloke Ray taught me enjoy RL. Australia’s best sports commentator
Me too. Godden Godden YES! that hooked me
Great interview as a Victorian Ray is the voice of Rugby League like Dennis Cometti is to Aussie Rules absolute legends and made both games great
Fiiiitzgibbon straight up the middle!!! Out to Miniceeeello! Rabs you are a legend, thanks for the memories
Another terrific interview, but this has probably been my favourite of them all.
There will never be another Rabs, period.
we are now "gifted" with Matt Thomson.......
Very inspirational man and very passionate commentator. the best in the business to this dayhands down. Would be absolutely awesome if the rabs called the State of Origins. No other voice brings the game more alive then the rabs 🙌
Bloody well done Gents. Integrity and being Genuine.
Spent many hours in the 90s growing up impersonating rabs. Absolute legend. Rabs, sterlo and fatty on the footy calls were the glory days.
Thanks mark for the interview what a great man and life
What an absolute gentleman, I could listen to rabs all bloody day, his stories would be awesome! Mark you don’t get the recognition these interview’s deserve!
What an awesome interview, such a humble man, and a great backstory that led to great success
Legend - grew up listening to him and loved him watching rugby league coming from a rugby background
Yes ray Warren my favourite commentary of all time
Loving straight talk, marks a great interviewer and has a great voice himself
The voice , the man , the LEGEND 💯👍
My journo mate said to rabs at the chandler centre in the 90s “my mate reckons your a awesome caller and loves watching your games you call” - rabs replies back “he must be a great effin bloke” so that was cool to be part of a rabs conversation. The 90s man, - rabs, kfc ,coke, and weed watching manly on Friday night footy - good times!!!
Great chat from both sides...well done

I hope he doesn't come back. I have only just starting watching the footy with the volume turned up .
Have you not heard of the 12th man Karen?...🤦♂️🤔🤡
He was okay but I rated every ABC commentator higher than him.
I preferred Jim Maxwell, David Morrow & Warren Boland.
Please please no comeback ray enough was enough
