Was it that pompous fart sniffer Gideon Haigh??? Why dribble with 2 or 3 paragraphs when you can dribble out 20. Absolute moron.

No, it was some other goose. I actually don't mind Gideon. He knows his cricket and states his points and writes eloquently.
I just don't know why they get specialist sports writers on and then try and care and comment on sports of which they know nothing about.

How’s Undercarriage when she’s listing off the reasons for having AFLx... “Manufacturing a ‘7s’ type tournament to take to Hong Kong (lol)” ... “Utilising rectangular grounds in the Northern States”.... “annoying soccer”...

How about “annoying everyone”?

It’s not enough that they f**k up Test cricket with their bullshit “drop-in” pitches, now they’re f**king pitches up for soccer and their fans for this hokey shit, and thinking it’s funny?

These merkins have zero regard for anyone outside of their cultish fumbly-Bumblies, and are outright hostile to anyone who spits out the Kool-Aid, or Zooper-Dooper fluid in this case and points out how shit it actually is.

Some poor unsuspecting Cantonese sports people are going to get kicked off their badminton courts or have their mah-jong tiles scrambled by wayward Sharrons if someone doesn’t curb the expansionist delusions of these singlet-clad mongs.

This post deserves a Wa(n)kely Award for journalism. Top notch.

Aflw must be on its knees, no mention of it today. Only talked about RL to bag allowing Lodge to play. Josh Massoud launched a spirited defense questioning the timing of the reports, "Where was the outrage 3 mths ago when it was announced?" Hinds threw as much mud as he could and the issues were lost in his Smelly Underwear's self-righteous posturing with no mention of any AFL incidents.

I'm not that comfortable with the Lodge decision however.
I must admit Massoud who I have previously bagged on many an occasion, stood up for the NRL decision to let him play.Noting the incident happened 3 years ago,received press overage again 3 months ago, and now because ether there are no other off field incidents ,it's brought up again.
If Massoud hadn't been there<I dread to think teh conversation content

The Offsiders devoted 8 minutes to the Lodge incident,nothing to the NRL official launch.It follows the usual deny the NRL any publicity ,unless its bad.

OK devote a couple of minutes to Lodge,but show some balance ,you biased, band of broadcasting,publccly financed media buffoons.

That smirking pretentious Underwear and the feeblish pompous Behinds panelist ,both showed their dislike for the NRL ,by sinking the knife in a deep as they could.

Their production manager is a fumbleball tragic, should we be surprised.a new moderator,the same rubbish biased content.

I'm just waiting for karma to hit those AFL bootlickers.Worth the price of admission.

Come on. Richard Hinds is scrupulously fair when it comes to rugby league.

Of course he is, just like Assad is fair and balanced.I've read enough articles by him on rugby league in the Telegraph, seen him in action enough on TV to form an opinion ,that he is magnanimous toward rl when it suits, and that is on the few occasions.His effort today only reinforced my opinion of him.

The irony is league gets ZERO credit for how it's turned things around regarding drinking etc also how they handled the Cronulla drugs saga as opposed to Essendon.

Yet the AFL has one atrocity every fortnight it's so biased.....

Its still a mystery to me why any Rugby League fan watches this dross.

It's worth it mate once or twice a year to see them have to grin and bear reporting on a record origin attendance and ratings or a feel-good Jonathon Thurston or Grand Final story. They choke on the words as they are reporting them - it is hillarious.

His masters at the AFL clearly asked him for another favour today. :joy:

Can you fill us in for those who can’t be bothered watching

This is what I secured by putting my peepers and earholes at the screen screen ,involving lesbian sporting host who knows little about rugby league, Waleed who pretends he likes rl and maybe he does(who cares) a Vic Netball coach,John Harms who is reasonable toward rl.
First off ,nasal Underbelly snorted "apart from the car crash rugby league has been this week".She then proceeded to give about 6 minutes to the NRL.
Then of course 3 minutes to Mathew Lodge and the story in the Telegraph by the AFL loving Journo Jessica Halloran and Lodge's ex, another black eye toward rugby league>they all tut tutted, none of them have a flipping clue, that the very person who decided after he went through various programmes to get back in the NRL ,was none other than Integrity Unit chief(a female) Karen Murphy,coincidentally an ex cop.
When are these incompetent ninnies of journalists actually going to spend more time researching the matter, instead of the gungho approach rip into the NRL to point score .No one likes what happened,but if you do a story include all facts and aspects.Else you are nothing but a biased writer, whose view are clearly defined and not balanced nor researched .

This Halloran bird seems to only write stories in the Telegraph,when it involves an NRL off field incident, other times she appears in hibernation or getting further instructions from Gil.

I was watching the replay before they disbanded it for outgoing SA premier Jay Weatherill's press conference. Seemed appropriate.

I think if he does nothing but sit on the bench for the rest of the season. Matt Lodge's name will be the most mentioned rl player's name on the show for the year.

Harms is another pretender. He runs an AFL website for f**ks sake. It is his main gig. That and being a Geelong fan. (Waits for someone to pipe up that he once wrote Steve Renouf's bio. :laughing:)

I'm aware of his work, he does something called the Footy Almanac whatever that is.Originally a Queenslander,then lives in Melbourne,obviously being sucked in,by the Victoriania drug of AFL .

I repeat ,out of the clowns on the Offsiders,he is the most reasonable, if you can use that description ,toward rugby league.

Underbelly feigns interest as the moderator.The only difference between her and Whately ,the latter doesn't wear lipstick.

Waleed mumbles away showing he is a snapped on Storm fan.When everyone know he is a Richmond fan.
Richard Behinds another news Ltd hack, almost has to be threatened to say anything pro NRL.Then made some sarcastic comment ,he has plenty of stories on NRL off field incidents.He even made an issue in the Telegraph about advertising on NRL jerseys.

As as for that horror movie,Caro Wilson,you can bet rl will get a bagging from her, whilst she continues to worship at the altar of Gil(I can play Polo)McLachlan.
The other panel members from time to time are pretty harmless.

Don't get me started on the union bird Georgina Robinson(??),hates rl.ensures any opportunity is sized with a slight dig.Talks through her nose, which is aimed well up in the air.
