Gold Coast Titans-St George Illawarra Dragons kick-off delayed for commentator Ray Warren Channel Nine commentator Ray Warren. WHEN you're the voice of rugby league, games simply don't start without you. That was the case for highly respected Channel Nine commentator Ray Warren on Sunday. Gold Coast's clash with St George Illawarra was delayed for 14 minutes waiting for Warren and colleague Phil Gould to arrive. The commentators' flight to Coolangatta was delayed by fog in Sydney and they even needed a chartered helicopter to reach Skilled Park at Robina in time for the rescheduled 3.14pm kick-off. For Warren, who has a well-known fear of flying, the added flight experience left him a little flustered as he was rushed into the commentary box about 20 minutes before the first whistle. "Our thanks to the Gold Coast Titans and St George Illawarra for putting this game back 15 minutes to allow us to get here," Warren said during commentary. ABC Helicopters were generous in getting us across from Coolangatta to here. I said to the pilot we have plenty of time, the game is back 15 minutes, how about we do a shark patrol.
