James Hooper

[KennySterling]

Can someone tell me what this guy seems to have on everyone in the media to get so many gigs ?

Is it his contacts book ? What is his background ? Did he play the game at any level ?

I can't fathom what he brings to any debate or discussion either on Fox or MMM.

It's his deep affected voice. It reeks of authority ,well I mean it just plain reeks.

Tough guy act with tough guy voice.

His normal voice sounds more like Ray Thomas.

I’ve been listening to a few old episodes of Matty Johns’ podcast with Kent and Hooper and it’s easy to see why they got rid of him.

His football knowledge is embarrassing and at about the same level as a casual fan. I felt sorry for him trying to join in the discussion and make points.

I can't stand the merkin... As mentioned already, he shows little knowledge of the game itself, seems more in to off field feuds and what not.

The Rugby League Digest lads talking about his "Sliding Doors" article from a couple of years back is classic...

 

[African Monkey]

I just like his silly voice that he clearly puts on to sound like a big hard man lol....

But yes, does he actually know anything about the game???

Sometimes I think he gets paid bonuses for using shitty cliches and puns

I have it on good authority.....

In contrast to Danny Weidler's worn out start to any TV story ."I'm hearing from Khoder Nasser or Billy Blogs".

A high powered club official (who asked to remain anonymous) described how player xyz went on a alcohol fueled night out with other player xyz.............

 

[KennySterling]

I hear him taking the pi55 out of tongue-tied Anthony Maroon at every opportunity on Triple M, always siding with 'big Gordie' and 'Kenty' and his persona is that of a bullying, insincere buffoon. Must be that deep voice, after all......

What ever came out of that? Didn't he go to court for that??

 

[AJB1102]

He had a court date. Dunno the outcome.

 

[Todd Hoffman]

What ever came out of that? Didn't he go to court for that??

All went quiet.
His mates in the media hushed up the court outcome.
