Ray Warren to host Triple M Drive for NRL Finals

He’s the most revered Rugby League caller since Frank Hyde. And like Hyde, Ray ‘Rabs’ Warren is a gentleman and all-round nice guy. He and commentary gun Dan Ginnane, will work the Rush Hour for four weeks leading up to the NRL Grand Final.

‘Rush Hour’ airs Monday to Thursday from 4-6pm for four weeks from next Monday.  The dynamic duo of Rabs and Dan who host ‘Dead Set Legends’ on Saturday mornings will bring their entertaining stories, respected opinion and plenty of guests to the afternoon for the latest in sport and the best in finals fever.

Ray Warren said, “I have done everything else, so I thought why not give this a go as well, plus it will give me a chance to keep David Gyngell happy plugging Nine.”     

Additionally ‘The Sunday Footy Panel’ has been developed specifically to run across the NRL Finals and will air from 10am-12pm on Sundays from 11 September until the Grand Final edition on 2 October.

Triple M will also deliver high profile on-site activity at major events across the 2011 NRL Finals Series such as a Rush Hour broadcast from the Rugby League One Community Awards at Sydney Town Hall, and The Men of League Ball at Doltone House.

Matty Johns will be live on-air for Triple M from the NRL Grand Final Fan Day when an expected 3000 fans converge on Tumbalong Park on 29 September. 

The Grill Team Grand Final Edition will see the guys broadcast as the crowds flock in at ANZ Stadium in the lead up to the Grand Final on Sunday 2 October.

Content Director, Jamie Angel says, “We’re embracing the NRL finals like never before with countless offerings for fans to complement their finals fever with the most informative and entertaining take on NRL’s finest moments for 2011.  The addition of the legendary Rabs to drive with commentary guru Dan Ginnane is sure to be a treat for Sydney listeners.”
