I heard it.... Basically they just said to 1.1 million sydney viewers that there is a story on Nine news coming up that will blow the sport apart.... Something about Leagues shameful secret and players now brave enough to speak up?

Im on the vodkas so that may not be accurate

But Nine need to pay for that

Looks like it is about recrational and/or performance enhancing drugs amoung players. What i want to know is did penrith sanction newtons interview with neinscum if so total stupidity, secondly the ARLC has to act on this against a) newton for stupidity b) penrith for further stupidity c) nein by not giving them the rights

I came on here to post the exact same thing. Absolutely f**king revolting. Regardless of how much money they offer, we can't give these scumbags another 5 years of our brilliant sport and the ratings that come with it.

Utterly disgusting shit coming from a station that claims to be "the home of Rugby League"

The sooner these merkins lose the rights the better.

News Ltd? Are they channel 9?

If it involves Newton and drugs it is probably true. There is a reason Smith got rid of him. And there is a reason Wayne is having problems now.

Exactly right

After they ran that gutter journalism of an ad claiming to have a scoop on Rugby Leagues 'shameful secret', they then return to the live coverage of Rugby Leagues biggest spectacle and talk about the pride of leagues history and that channel 9 is the home of rugby league.

Pathetic


I dont have a problem with them doing a story like that, my problem is the timing of this sory and when they chose to advertise it

No, but they are driven by the same people with agendas tied to a News Ltd. stake in the game

What sort of pills was Carney swallowing before the game in the dressing room? Obviously some legal rubbish, but the temptation must be strong to try out illegal stuff.

Ooooh if Olympians posing with guns in gun shops outraged a nation, this 'shameful secret' may just be the end of life as we know it.

I normally try and avoid getting into the anti channel 9 sentiment but I thought that was pretty bad. Add to that the coverage was terrible tonight. Halftime was pretty much just an advertisement for live betting and the constant promotion of other Nine shows was unbearable, especially when something exciting is happening on the field and you have Rabs and Gus having a discussion about The Block.
