lol Opening with the Sam Burgess texting thing.

Sexting, DV and now coke snorting all this week. We love to give them bullets don’t we?

We’ve had two amazing finals games this weekend but you just know the “scandals” are going to dominate the scum media again this week.

Jess Halloran? Can’t wait to hear her thoughts on Burgess and just how many times she brings it back to AFL.

Well you were spot on.She did."Don't have these problems in the AFL or rugby union."
Then she BSed she was a rugby league supporter.ROFL.
Roy interestingly enough made a couple of points.
1) Why did it take from May til 2 days before a semi to make this announcement Burgess?
2)Regarding domestic violence, pointed out the NRL is different to the AFL,due to the cultures involved.So to compare is a little unfair and the i hereunto problems involved.
3) Roy noted, the NRL has its digital dept,which provides the positive stories, whereas News provides all the negatives little big or small ,and gives them prominence.
Dopey Halloran noted CH9 gave a positive about Josh Dugan a few months ago,completely ignoring Roy's comment, it's News Ltd with the negatives.And Jess you do your level best to help.

We got 4 minutes scandal in toto.

4 minutes semis Souths v Dragons coverage, zero footage of Sharks v Penrith.

Kelly Underpass made a big deal about the scandals, as did Halloran,thank hell Roy was there to give a semblance of balance.

Strangely , no mention of a rugger fan basically punching on with the Wobblies and being thrown out. That's passion to these knobheads, how would that have been coveredif it was a league fan. The most biased show on tv, will bandana head make a comment?

I almost felt sorry for Halloran. She was so far out of her depth it was embarrassing. Constantly stammering and failing to make even 1 valid point.

Could you imagine if that was a NRL player fighting with a fan, the media would have gone into meltdown!

Flicked over hoping for some NRL news since Bracey and Gal we’re talking up the fumbleball! Disgraceful

What I did like, was Gal giving it to Hanky Head.Something like don't know what's happening with the Wallabies,they used to be good, there doesn't seem to be any depth ,and the lower tiers are not providing it.Then Gal noted club rugby gets about 200.
Hanky Head absolutely showing he was offended LOL, stating but in fact there have been some good crowds at club rugby ,and Gal we'll get there you wait and see.
I love seeing it when Fitzhead is getting negatives thrown his way, being on the receiving end after dishing it out often, for him is very painful.He really had littler ammunition to respond.

If the equivalent happened in RL and it was mentioned on the show, you guys would go ape shit. It was No Hope being a dumbarse.

A clueless gumbo comment.
The males involved in the NRL have in fact been very accepting of having a women's rugby league and not having to change the rules ,so it looks like a harder version of netball. .

STFU

It's all fun and games looking for pro-AFL anti-RL pieces, even when it's not there. But that Mick Malthouse thing was nothing. As in, it is not a story.

If the RL equivalent happened and it was mentioned anywhere, you guys would get tonnes of sand in your panties over it, even though it was nothing.

It was nothing. Don't bitch about it.
