DO ANY COMMENTATORS GIVE CREDIT?

[parralight]

Yeah I just thought there was something I wasnt privvy to when he left.
All things being equal he was a pretty good player and he is entitled to his opinion. The amount of weight we give that opinion is another matter.

 

[Hurriflatch]

thats right I forgot he used to coach the SG Ball grade.

It will be interesting to see how the Dally M points are awarded in tomorrows paper. Apparently Freeman was the judge for our game last night.

 

[Hurriflatch]

I'm tipping

3. Danny Buerus
2. Anthony Watmough
1. Kurt Gidley

 

[THE KEGG]

Freeman announces Dally M points ;-)

3. Andrew Johns
2. Tamana Tahu
1. Michael Hagan

 

[Hurriflatch]

Johns wont get the points he only played 21 mins had he made it to the 25th min then he woulsd have been Freeman's man of the match.

 

[THE KEGG]

yeah but it took the medicab 4 mins to get him off the field, so he qualifies

 

[Hurriflatch]

no, as the clock was stopped :lol:

 

[THE KEGG]

freeman went by his own clock

 

[Hurriflatch]

Freeman's clock need the batteries removed

I can't believe you guys are upset at the media. At least you do get coverage What about us, even the Storm are in the papers and on the Tele more than us. For last years semi against the warriors the Telegraph ran about 5 stories on the Warriors. The only mention on the Raiders was that Ray Kershler from wannabet who said "optimistic Raiders fans should go for the Raiders to be leading at half time"

What about 2 weeks ago on sports tonight when we beat the Dragons. HEADLINE: Major upset at Kogarah. We came 4th last year and they didn't make the 8, so how is that a major upset. It is terrible that we never get any talk on anything like the footy show and before you guys get upset about the media remember that before last Friday night against the Panthers our last Friday night game was in 1999! At least you guys get T.V coverage and talked about.

 

[Nikki]

But now your CEO or someone doesnt want TV coverage coz then you arent getting the crowd attendance at the games.

 

[Hurriflatch]

and getting media coverage isn't the best

I give you the Lyon story as exibit A

 

[The Colonel]

The media coverage was even better this morning. Back page news should have been all about Parramatta winning but of course it was Johns career in doubt after season ending injury. Well they can right us off for the rest of the year if we keep winning......

Yep, you certainly got me there Kegg. Thanks for adding something to a topic.

I can see where you are coming from Woodgers, but considering you are a 1 team town, surely your own press give you all the coverage you need.

Don't forget, the Sydney papers are primarily targeted at a Sydney market.

By the way I read this thread before I actually got to see the game last light.

I listened to Freeman throughout the game with particular interest and came to one conclusion.

He was an absolute tool.

Suity, We agreed on something :shock:
that's the first time since round 7 2001 from memory ;-)

I got to meet Freeman a couple of times when he was coaching as my brother played under him in SG Ball. He actually seemed like a pretty good bloke and from memory his side lapped the competition. He had guys like Grothe Jnr and Scott Ella and they were a class above but making an assumption I reckon BS gave him the arse as a coach and the guy can't let it go.
