24 Hour NRL channel

[PARRA_FAN]

Kent's claim that coaches and CEOs saying lines like 'we aren't going to comment on speculation' is KILLING THE GAME has to be among the stupidest things he has ever said.

Is anyone going to stop playing or watching footy because Manly's CEO won't confirm anything about Trent Barrett? Maybe the 0.0001% of fans who follow the game for boardroom drama gossip and not for the actual football.

For him to even suggest that this coaching drama is killing the game is just ridiculous.

If anything its got people's attention, rather than off field issues like drugs, alcohol and violence that may turn people off.

If fans are frustrated, they probably frustrated at the speculation and rumors that might not be true, started by the media and sick of hearing about it.

It annoys me when the coaches release a statement about their contract situation, these jurnos come out and either say, "Well he hasnt denied it" "That wasnt good enough".

Then comes the speculation. "I have on good authority that.." "I have spoken to a club official...".

So when the story is completely false, they'll start whinging when it didn't go their way and blame it on the officials and then start saying how the NRL should get involved.

Just on controversy corner, I dont mind the fact that they have jurno on there cause when they get it wrong, someone like Hughes or Blocker would say "Well you wrote this article on 28th May which wasnt true, please explain".

And finally something positive, The Fan. Its nice to see a show focused on the good things and those small segments on the players are quite good. I also like it when Vossy throws the odd stat in here and there. Great show. Shame it only goes for half hour.

CEOs not commenting is ruining the game... if they were commenting it would be also ruining the game because they should keep that stuff in-house... you can't win with these idiots.

I saw that segment & when he said that I immediately looked for his handbag. Someone needs to tell him his opinion isn’t worth two bob.

So the massive media storm in a teacup has been
Griffin sacked for Cleary - false
Cleary def going to panthers - false
Bennett falling out with broncos and going to be sacked - false
Siebold going to broncos - false
Barrett handing in notice - yet to be confirmed

What a set of merkins the Sydney media is.

Alexander last night in Melbourne game when video ref was reviewing a try
“And that’s tthe money shot, between the legs” made me snigger.

Blocker forgot he wasn't at 2GB and called Matt Russell Ray

His voice went up 20 decibels with those three words. Sounded like he may have ruptured an ovary.

It has been crazy from the media, but I wouldn't write off all those things as false just yet. Let's wait until the start of 2019 season & see who's coaching where.

Rothfield legitimately makes Blocker look intelligent

That is impressive

Rothfield legitimately makes Blocker look intelligent

That is impressive

What about his comment that ‘There’s too many people in the game with ‘sources’ that aren’t credible’
He was literally talking about himself.

Saw that. I couldn't believe Rothfolds said that. Actually, come to think of it, I can believe it.

The height of hypocrisy from one buzz Rothfield there. If any university or school student ever needs to see an example of hypocrisy, we’ll look no further.

Any school studying buzz needs to be shut down, unless it’s the effects of alcoholism and geniusism on the brain.

A test case study? Donating his brain to science?

 

[roofromoz]

NRL 360 confirming that they selectively choose to take things out of context.

Ponga's wish to play for the All Blacks was stated at the end of an interview with a NZ TV station, so no fuss should be made out of it.

 

[Stallion]

Wonder if this rugby league channel will advertise the approaching Challenge Cup Final at anytime? Perhaps I've missed the advertising? But to my knowledge no advertising for this often watched sports event so far . It's on this weekend. Not sure when ? I'm guessing Fox league will show it?

 

[AJB1102]

Bit shit to have the commentator keep telling people to stay tuned for a big breaking RL story on the MJ show for it to just be another bullshit skit. I'm cool with jokey RL shows like MJ's but they need to keep the proper stuff separate from their jokey stuff.

 

[El Diablo]

you believed they'd actually have a big news story?

Kent and the Alcoholic at large on the professor last night.

I lasted 1 minute, it seems this show wants to be canned.

 

[AJB1102]

No, I just expect the in game commentary to be factual and not used as a lead in to a joke.
