Nine commentary legend Ray Warren<\/a> has fired up over social media rumours he was set to return to the box to call his 100th State of Origin<\/a> clash.<\/p>\n

Warren hung up the microphone two years ago this week.<\/p>\n

He called 99 Origins in his career, and rumours began swirling recently he may return to make it a ton.<\/p>\n

"I never ever said that I would agree to do another game of Origin, and somebody took the liberty via social media to absolutely misquote me and it's made things a bit uncomfortable for me, but that's the way it is.<\/p>\n

"I get very aggravated by people that write absolute crap."<\/p>\n

Warren said he will never return to the commentary box.<\/p>\n

"No, I'd rule that out almost without any thought at all.<\/p>\n

"I had a great career \u2013 55 years. At the end of 2021, I decided that that would do me, why would I take that risk of undoing whatever good I might have done.<\/p>\n

"That's just an angle that I don't think has been explored. That's all."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
