Can these guys get any dumber?

Loudy I think it's funny that someone bagging another on their language skills or lack thereof thinks that the opposite of yes is.....now.

But that's just me.

Ps this entire thread is a waste of even the internets time

What the f**k did he say...

I think it's actually "As the season goes on you start to learn when to do what and that, so, it is a lot of practice though"

But some scholars suggest this riddle may never be solved definitively.

nah it's definitely that lol. f**king funny though :lol:

What do you expect, they bash the sh*t out of each other for a living.

The RL players that can handle themselves in front of a camera are at a big advantage for decent employment after they retire.

If you can play the toughest team sport on the planet at the highest level and still manage to speak well, then you on the road to success!

On the other hand, the commentators also need to know how to ask the questions. Sometimes they just say something that cannot be answered:

Q: "You started of well, but then dropped off in the second half and let the game slip out."

Besides : "Yes", how do you answer that in a way that it makes sense?

 

[Johns Magic]

Jeff Lima is the worst one I've heard, really struggled to put a sentence together.

Greg Inglis is barely intelligible

But there's a lot of sincerity behind his words.

 

[redvscotty]

I'd like to give a big rap to Jason king. Did really well on the footy show right off the bat. Not one y'know at all

 

[Cerne Abbas Giant]

"Obviously" and "You know" should be barred from the players vocabulary.

He's from Bowraville, what do you expect.

It maybe time to consider a "US college" type of competition for 18-21 yrs olds before they enter the NRL. An educated person is able to present themselves much more professionally and is far less likely to cause any "off field incidents".

Totally.

 

[Ulysseus]

Or maybe we can just let them play rugby league...

f**k that, I want to watch a bunch of well spoken nancy's prance about and grab each other arses instead.
Hmmmmmmm, think I'll go watch AFL.

Justin Hodges did a interview where he used the old "y'know" in every single sentance. He even managed a rare 4-yknows-in-a-row.

Pretty sure he's doing or was doing a law degree so not surprising.

 

[Perth Red]

not all players can be articulate and intelligent. Not all will have the self confidence to stand in front of a camera (I've done it a few times and its bl0dy nerve wracking!). What they should do is make sure those that can't, don't! Clubs and the game should have a select number of players with the skills to handle the camera and trot them out for interviews, shows etc.

 

[Dazraider]

all rehearsed even when its so called live there is a delay.
its like a politician all answers are basically the same and yoiu never get what they truly want to say as they are being hold back by the politically correct tossers

 

[redvscotty]

He's a forward. Forwards are usually the worst. He knew what to say before he went out there and other than a stumble on the word momentum a couple of times he produced a flawless display.

I'm sure others can go in with a few pre rehearsed sentences.

I think the NRL.. or clubs in general need to look at there players
in regards to Public Speaking.
Some guys in the past.. Dally M's or on NRL on Fox etc etc..
just are terrible at being interviewed. Very few are decent.
I find this very embarrassing at times.. I think to the point
where clubs need to have in place a public speaking program
just to teach these morons how to communicate.

While this bloke has a gig in the media with AFL shows, there is hope

I do agree though, should be simple enough (GI should never be let lose in front of a camera and microphone, more grunts than breathing)

 

[simostorm]

Hasn't improved.. has just gotten worse. Smh

 

[Michael Bishop]

Hasn't improved.. has just gotten worse. Smh

Thread definitely worth a bump. Embarrassing to watch some of these players perform off the field.
