Do you want Brad Arthur as coach

[84 Baby]

Or flup

 

[Eelogical]

I'm going with Bazal. I've always been a flap kind of guy.

 

[Twizzle]

fap ?

 

[forward pass]

I must say I find BA's Post match press conferences to be a complete waste of time. Why does he bother (besides being obligated).

He seems to think everything is a closely guarded secret, and answers in as few words as possible. Listen to a Trent Robinson conference and compare them. He is happy to talk about aspects of the game, incidents and certain players.

I just don't get why he is such a closed shop all the time. There was a magnificent story on the weekend where the club surprised Sivo by flying his Dad over. What a great chance to tell a great story and reveal a bit about the club - instead his attitude was that in was no-ones business.

I think it is pretty ordinary tbh. I would rather have a player at the conference - at least they say something.

Does it honestly matter? The NRL requires them to do it. Have you heard Bellamy and Griffin “commentate”? And people have actually employed them specifically to do that

Not every question asked (and answered) at the press conference makes it to air.

 

[Bazal]

Why should BA feed the dogs any more than he has to anyway?

 

[Gronk]

Why should BA feed the dogs any more than he has to anyway?

Because they were SO nice to him last year.

Nobody can hear any question that gets asked at the press conferences.

What ?

I said, "It's Gary's shout".

Isn't he talking to the fans ?? Don't we deserve decent answers?

 

[84 Baby]

He doesn’t talk to anyone

 

[Gronk]

Isn't he talking to the fans ?? Don't we deserve decent answers?

The game eve interviews after the captains run, he's usually Mr Havachat. He also is often interviewed on Saturdays by 2MMM and the same thing, very amiable.

 

[Avenger]

Unless we win the GF I'm not changing my vote.

 

[Bazal]

Isn't he talking to the fans ?? Don't we deserve decent answers?

Not sure. Have you ever asked him a question in the presser?

He's talking to the press.

He talks to the fans via other mediums as Gronk pointed out. And usually gives a pretty good insight from the admittedly few I've seen

 

[forward pass]

Um - You guys serious? The press write stories in their newspapers for fans to read. Who else are they writing for? Do you think the media guys ask questions for the own personal fulfilment.

 

[emjaycee]

Every question asked after the dragons win was asked by one of 3 journo's only. And for the record, there were only 5 in the room.

The press ask questions to try and solicit some juicy tidbit they can convert into a headline and BA has decided not to deliver it to them. I like it.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

I don't like it. I think he could play a dead bat without the sullen attitude. Tbh I think it's a bit childish and a poor look.
