THE voice of rugby league, Channel 9's Ray Warren, is in hospital battling a severe infection and could miss calling his first grand final in 40 years. After antibiotics failed to improve his condition, Warren, 67, was placed on a drip. His temperature hit 39.4C yesterday afternoon and he has been in hospital for three days.
"I've got a sky-high temperature, the shivers, shakes and sweats," Warren told The Daily Telegraph yesterday.
Doctors eventually traced Warren's infection to his prostate.
Warren said he would attempt to walk tomorrow and was hoping to be released. He will decide tomorrow afternoon whether to call the grand final.
If his health does not improve, Andrew Voss will be promoted to call the big game for the NRL's free-to-air broadcaster.

I know we give Rabs heaps for being a bit senile, but it wouldn't be the same without him calling a Grand Final IMO.
