Megan Barnard.

Hottest female presenter in the Rugby League world. Not that there's much in the running, but she wins by a country mile.

And a Melbournian who hates rugby league. Has proven it in the past.

 

[beave]

I'm willing to overlook this small flaw in her and make her my TV wife.

I doubt beave is looking to have a yarn about footy with her.

Yeah, I reckon he'd be after some beave....

"Meeeg's Beave"...... as that idiot Hooper would no doubt call it......

Andrew Webster wants NRL journos to get as much access to players as the NBA journos get to NBA players.

He wonders why the clubs don't allow access prior to games and 15 minutes after games.
Here's a tip, if you and your fellow NRL journos weren't utter f**kwits you would get more access.

Also if NRL players were paid what those blokes are paid, they'd be up for it.

Message for Webster and other journos. "Perhaps if you and your fellow journos were a lot more positive about Rugby League you might get a bit more access, the balls in you journos court"

In their defence complaining and make shit up is a lot easier than doing research and writing positive articles.

Here we go again with this "NRL needs more access to the players" crap that gets dished out ad nauseum by the likes of Paul Kent et al. When you see the rubbish that these hack journalists dish out, would you be so obliging, going out of you way to talk to people and media outlets who have betrayed the trust of the players multiple times in the past? If you want people to be close to you and be more open with you, you treat others the way you want to be treated.

In addition, I'd like to add that I'm not a fan of commentators interviewing players during the game (e.g. sideline commentators shoving a microphone infront of players walking off the field at half-time). Don't like all these cameras in dressing rooms as well. There is a certain time on game day that falls into the 'inner sanctum' territory, where the players have to be solely focused on the game, need their privacy and don't need all these unnecessary distractions from the media.

I know people will quickly bring up the point of the tv networks forking out millions and millions of dollars to televise the game, but it doesn't mean that they therefore have complete ownership of the players to the point where they can dictate when and where they can talk to a player. They don't own the players lives.

Positive Rugby League news might help journos get access to the players. Negative Rugby League reports wont.

You can forget about Positive Rugby League news whilst News Ltd are involved with the game.

There is no excuse for the shit they make up.
If your a Rugby League journo you should be positive about the game.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Andrew Webster is best mates with Phil Gould.

Does Andrew receive unfettered access to all Panthers players and staff pre and post match?

 

[Incorrect]

Webster is on an ESPN funded trip at the moment covering the NBA Finals so expect all sorts of gushing articles from his keyboard about NBA-this and Steph Curry-that in the next couple of weeks.... Pay no attention, it's basically cash for comment

 

[Mogsheen Jadwat]

it goes both ways, you want the game and its players to be more professional, more approachable?

the journos should be held to the same standard. i dont think players would mind as much if they had a professional who knew their shit asking decent questions, rather than any old person asking inane shit.

 

[beave]

I don't know why I do it to myself but I watched 'geniuss Only' tonight, had a chuckle at the review of the Titans season thus far

I didn't realise there was such a thing as an 'Outsanding kicking' game.......

8.30pm...prime time...f**king encore of 360 NRL.

And if you miss it they have another 873 replays of it before midday tomorrow.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Missing once is enough. No need to repeat the torture.

 

[El Diablo]

And if you miss it they have another 873 replays of it before midday tomorrow.

still a good idea to record them all in case you miss one
