Brown blasted a journo in the roosters presser because of an article about a form lower grade knight being accused of attempted murder (or something similar)

Why was he so worked up about the article.....

Was it just that the guy played for many clubs..... But the article made special mention that he was a knights player and had him in our jersey for the headline image?

 

[Spot On]

So it was brought up by the journo?? And if so, why?

Cadet starting out and never followed league?

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

It's headline seeking media crap. He's an ex player and the presser is to talk about the game and what comes next.
Onya Browny if you blasted the twat.

 

[PhilGould]

Jeez he really did fire up. Even sounds like Sione says something about it at the end?

 

[Bartwah]

I don't think the journo brought it up. Pretty sure they were talking to Robert Dillon (newcastle herald), and he asked something about the Wests deal being finalised. Browny then said if it's true, he might be able to write something positive about the Knights. Barry Toohey is the man!

Yeah it was Robert Dillon, and Browny used the oppurtunity to have a dig about the negative article.

Pretty much said along the lines of "maybe you'll have something positive to write about for once" r.e. the wests deal, and that it was poor form to strongly link (headline grab + photo in a reserve grade jersey) the club to someone who was at the club 5 years ago and never even played First Grade. said he can cop the negative articles about the team performance, but this was a low blow and uncalled for.

Must have tried to defend himself and ask what was wrong with what he wrote to which Sione quipped, "maybe read the article again".

And the media wonders why clubs and players don't want to talk to them...

 

[Sacrolishes]

It was great to see. I think Brown doesn't need to come out and spray refs etc because he knows its half of the teams fault shooting themselves in the foot, but he also knows they have improved immensely in a season. He has also said he doesn't believe in ridiculing players in the media after the game... He talks to them in private at training.

Brown's my boy man. Love this guy.

 

[Apey]

I enjoyed him giving shit to Dillon haha.

 

[Alex28]

It was a rubbish article, and Browny was right to call out Dillion on it. The guy has played for half a dozen clubs, and bugger all games for us, but Dillion used the chance to rubbish the club again...

I'm really glad Browny did it in front of his peers. Time to stand up and show we aren't taking cheap shots like that.

Dan Laurie , nothing more than a grub and stain to the game. Wests Tigers enabled this clown, not the Knights

In fact, a few years back the Tigers listed Dane as injured when he was locked up

Apparently the feeling in the room was "a tad tense, but there were a fair few smirks going around"
