Danny Weidler baseless sensationalism/gutter journalism thread

[reanimate]

Sex Appeal - deadset, Weildler is a pillow biter.

"I like your eyes." :lol:

 

[juro]

Weidler has obviously taken the SMH shift to tabloid format to heart. He is doing his best to single-handedly morph it into the Daily Telegraph.

 

[Perth Red]

And so it continues, I've never seen such a wnkfest by a journo over a player. Surely Weidler must be on the $BW payroll or sharing his bed?

Shame on the NRL for not giving SBW his due at season launch

What's the bet that this is Weedlers ring tone?

SBW wasn't looked after as evidenced by how much more money he made in the time, than what he would've got had he honored his contract. Time has shown that he was severely short-changed. Disgusted with his actions at the time - more than happy for him in the end. His actions have helped ensure that future superstars won't suffer a similar under-priced fate. He also should be free to talk about any sport he likes - we have nothing to fear. The actions of the powers-to-be are piss-weak.

Fair enough. Any reason why, I'm always open to learning...

He was on $450,000 a season 5 years ago, that was a huge contract at the time. It still is, the vast majority of players will never get a contract that size, he's done nothing to advance the interest of his fellow players, all he's done in the process is make himself look like a mercenary

 

[ek999]

If I started freely advertising my competitor I would not have a job for very long. Why should it be any different for SBW. He wasn't exactly underpaid when he was at the Bulldogs either. He was getting $500,000 per year when the salary cap was only $4,000,000. There would be very few players earning more now what he was 5 years ago. The only reason Khoder wanted SBW to leave the Bulldogs is because he wasn't getting any commission from his existing contract. It was better for him to get a new deal which would make him money

Edit: Dogslife beat me to it.

 

[Parramatta1947]

I am sick of SBW - not because of him as the player, but every night, Wiedler has to have a story on him and ask everyone he is interviewing thier thoughts on him.

Cop a tip Danny - NO ONE CARES!

It is going to be a long season...........

Clearly the contract wasn?t big enough, he soon got far more than that elsewhere and that?s the point, not want he signed on for but what he was actually worth. One of SBW's faults at that time was that not even he really knew what he was worth.

is, the vast majority of players will never get a contract that size, he's done nothing to advance the interest of his fellow players, all he's done in the process is make himself look like a mercenary

We?re all mercenaries out to do the very best for ourselves ? every single one of us. The man broke a contract ? once upon a time that was unforgivable in my world. But knowing what I know now days about human nature/interaction, I certainly understand why he did what he did.

As for fellow players, the Doggies aside, all the teams that he?s been involved in since have had nothing but positive things to say about him.

As indicated signed a significant long term contract - League has a salary cap for good reason. Under Mundine and Nasser's influence decided to sell himself to the highest bidder.

He is no Superstar - a good modern day league player (can't go 80 minutes); good union player in a champion team (I could look good in that side) and a joke of a boxer (Botha who was rated 10-15 years ago would have taken him out if the fight had gone into rounds 11-12, as it should have under WBA rules).

Nasser is a modern day PR genius (doesn't mean I like the guy); he has sold this guy to the Gen Y's in Oz and NZ as a metrosexual (Ken - Barbie) superstar (there is no substance to it but the Gen Y's lap it up) - built like Tarzan, plays like Jane; I believe.

Similar to how Beckham was sold to the world, but at least he was a soccer genius. SBW is more a plasticine (sic) man

He willingly and freely signed a contract. He then walked out on it. nuff said.

SBW broke a contract ? that?s his crime. Him selling himself to the highest bidder is a position that quite frankly most of us would like to be in or are in. The salary cap wasn?t the reason why the Doggies underpaid him ? they paid him as much as it took to get him. They would have paid more if SBW had the sense at the time to realize just how much he was worth. Contracts aren't worth a dime in Rugby League - walking out on your mates though, that's an action that he has to live with forever.

He is a superstar, he?s actually more than that. Whether he actually deserves such lofty tags is another argument altogether, but the man is news, big, big news of which in my country at least, he?s on par with, if not supersedes the likes of Richie McCaw and Dan Carter. His boxing quite rightly is a joke (like many are in the early, early stages of their careers) but nonetheless it keeps him in the news and the dollars ticking over.

No other player in League and probably Union would ever even be considered in a similar light as David Beckham.

I not having a shot at you but are you Gen Y (born around or after 1981); they are modern PR man's dream generation - worry about style not substance.

^ ^ ^

In some ways I wish I were Gen Y then I could hack what counts for modern (popular) music these days where the majority of it is the same old same old with very little variance or originality. No, the very first Oz league TV match I recall watching involved Wests back in the mid-seventies. Was probably an Amco Cup game because it was mid-week. I imagine there aren’t a lot of kiwis that would remember Oz League being on telly way back then.

Gen X then, I have two Gen Ys and what I said is true - all about how good they look.

If you look at SBW's league record it is not that great - but, f**k that he is promoted as a superstar, therefore he must be.

Wests - great club, I hope you followed the Maggies after spotting them on the telly.

And yet he was still offered 400k+ in his early years despite the fact that he hadn't done much. His potential was obvious and he has proven in Union that he's right up there despite only playing that game for a short amount of time. Think he's better off in Union especially now that the shoulder charge has been nullified.

Wests - great club, I hope you followed them after spot them on the telly.

Those days didn't influence me much. It was buying my first RLW in 1979 and thereafter I was hooked - soon barracking for Balmain once they became mainstays of the mid week KB/Tooth/National Panasonic Cup competitions. Wests, Norths and Cronulla were all right up there also. Being an outsider freed me up to support whomever I choose hence I went for names or team colours that appealed to me.
