David Gallop in studio to take calls on 2SM Wednesday

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

I reckon someone should ring and ask him why 2SM didn't get the radio rights for MNF..... :lol:

 

[Mr Saab]

I will actually feel a bit sorry for David having to answer questions from the likes of

Bas
Adrian
Kurty "Yeah dave mate, whatta ya think the chances are for the GB team in tha world cup? God save the queen thanx for haven me"
Jannelle
Percy

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Or that fool that says "geeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnntleeeeeeeeeeeeemmmeeeeeenn"...

Bass is the dogs supporter who annoys me, what a wally.

 

[Mr Saab]

Bass is a chooks supporter....very angry and hard to please individual....been listening to much to 2SM and has been brainwashed.
The goose says "geeeeentllemaaaaaaaan" massive massive try hard

Some bloody good points in this thread.

Let's make a list so that none are forgotten when it comes down to the interview.

1) 'Use it or lose it', why the NRL is still yet to negotiate a deal with NineHD to show the NRL Footy Show live in states such as Victoria, SA and WA. Also, why the NRL is still yet to negotiate a FTA deal with Nine to ensure that Storm games are shown at a reasonable time?

2) Why does the NRL has a sub-standard TV rights deal in comparison to the AFL, despite more people watching the game on TV?

3) When will News Limited get out of the sport?

4) When are we expanding again and when will the Reds come into the competition?

I want Gav to ask him "so Dave do you swim between the flags?"

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

If Gallop has any sense he'll tell Robertson and Hughes to shut the **** up if they start asking him questions.

 

[Newcastlerabbit]

There is no way Hughes will be going soft on Gallop,especially after waiting for over a year for an interview.

 

[Knight87]

Looks like everyone on here is ready, lined up with the tough questions to ask Gallop

 

[nqboy]

Would someone like to save themselves the trouble of bothering to listen or call in and just ask me the questions now. I will reply with "Look thats a complex issue that our game certainly needs to look at. There's differing views on how we should approach it. It's definitely something that will be raised at the summit and at the end of the season though." You will learn nothing throwing a few talkback questions at him, he's heard them all before and he'll answer them in the same way. You need an aggressive hard ass interviewer to sit down with him for half an hour at least and just grill him. Even that probably wouldn't throw him off message though.

We have a winner. Come up on stage and collect your prize.

5) Why was Nein's FTA deal extended without Seven even being allowed to bid?

 

[Rockin Ronny]

Spot on! He is a lawyer cum pollie and knows how to say words that people cannot respond to.

If Gallop was fair dinkum, he would simply say:

"My career before this was as legal counsel for News Limited. You might remember me - my last job was trying hard to kill off Souths in the court case. Now, I didn't get the NRL CEO job by trawling through job vanacies, did I? So, the answer to any of your questions is "I first need to assess how that benefits News Limited".

Here's mine (with the stock answer to save him time!)

Caller: Geoff you have mentioned that RL doesn't get the $'s because it isn't National like the AFl, what are the NRL planning to do to put that right?

Gallop: Well we are looking to that but not in the immediate future. It is more important to focus on making sure the clubs we currently have are financially viable.

Caller: But surely a national game would mean more money for the NRL and it's clubs?

Gallop: It may do and we know there is interest in Q'land for another team and their is the relocation opportunity to the CC.

Caller: But will that make us a National game?

Gallop: Well it isn't just about sticking pins in the map.

Does anyone really believe they will hear anything new or innovative from this guy?

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

The calls will all be handpicked softies for him.

Agreed, we'll learn nothing new from this program.

 

[Perth Red]

The trick is to tell them you are asking a soft question then change it when you get on!

 

[bulldog]

Who signed the mobile and internet rights away to Telstra?

Who signed the mobile and internet rights away to Foxtel?

How the hell can such a monumental clusterf^ck happen with the legal minds at the NRLs disposal?

I could hear him saying it as I read it. Well done.

 

[Brutus]

I'm going to ring up and ask Mr Gallop if he is related to Detective Munch from Law and Order.

I may get non-lawyer speak then.

There's more of a chance of Gallop being put on the spot on Talkin Sport than any other show or print interview.

One thing TS don't do is screen calls unlike 2gibberG
