Some of the best one-liners from the voice of rugby league, Ray Warren. Since announcing his retirement in 2022, Rabs has been one of the most poetic and enthusiastic commentators of all time and we were lucky enough to hear his voice during most channel nine televised matches. Here are 50 of his classic one-liners that made him the voice of rugby league and one of the best commentators of all time.
*SPOILER BELOW: Full list of one-liners below, some footage needed context so added commentary was needed, this list was judged based on the one-liners themselves and not the full commentary call.
