    I reckon they should get Reece Whitby from TVW to co anchor.

    I'm not sure Narelda is the best choice for presenter. I don't have anything against her, but I don't think she's up to that level yet. Every time I see her in a live cross she always seems to stumble and make mistakes. She isn't someone I would have appointed presenter until she improves.

    That's not to say she won't, and perhaps with time she will get through it. Interesting choice though and she has been at Ten for some time so I guess in some way this appointment is well deserved.

    Reece appears happy to be at TVW. I couldn't see him jumping ship to Ten :unsure:

    Well if she is presenting solo that is going to be one heck of a boring hour of television in my opinion!

    This would have been the perfect position for Tina Altieri to fill. Not sure who at Ten to pair her up with though :unsure:

    I actually think Narelda is quite a good presenter who speaks clearly and with a pleasant tone from what I've seen in her stints as weather presenter.

    I don't think she should be placed solo though, Ten needs a male too.

    :helpsmilie: Head always on an angle, too softly spoken, been around too much. She belongs on TT because she's at least better than Monica Kos. :yucky:

    It wouldn't matter who got the gig and whether they presented solo or paired up, they have their work cut out.

    Reece is under utilized at TVW. Isn't their news director a bit dodgy anyway. He'd jump at the chance to move, unless he decides to rot in the corridors at TVW doing police rounds and special reports!!

    Im sure Ten would throw big bucks at him. I reckon him being on Ten would develop him further as a presenter.

    I think she is fine. I mean look at Rick Ardon he began presenting in his early 20s and made shit loads of mistakes as Ive seen on old tapes. (30th year at TVW btw!!)

    She's definately more experienced than he was when he started.

    Fucken oath!

    Not many presenters can follow in the foot steps of the likes of Celina and Charmaine.
