[Bigfella]

"No but I can see why you are at a journalistic level Danny. Shouldn't you be doing some ads for Sonny Bill"

 

[Craig Johnston]

seriously a room full of "professional" journos, and not one of them asks 'what couldn't the eels and jason taylor agree to' ?

wasn't that impressed with seward imo. needs to be firmer with the press, show some huevo

 

[Shakamaker]

Fu*ing Weidler

"Was he second choice?" "Was he second choice?"

F*ck off wanker.

Edit. Just saw El Diablo's post.

Haven't listened to the interview, but asking if Arthur is second choice is a fair question.

10 times after already being given the answer the first time?

Weedler is a twat

I thought he handled himself well, considering that the press rarely asks serious questions, as seen by the recycling of the same question in that interview.
Well one journalist did ask was Daniel Anderson the reason JT didn't sign, which Seward answering that a director of football hadn't been appointed as of yet.

Asking once would be fair, fish...he got his answer the first time and despite that kept parroting the same line repeatedly at Seward throughout the rest of the interview.

Like the others said ,fish, he asked it over and over.

i wanted to know the answer too but weidler just didn't know the right question to ask. that's why he works for the DT.

once maybe, but not the same question 3 times, or variations of the same question 3 times

Seward handled the idiot well

he works for the SMH

I don't know who is worse Slothfield,Joshy or Weedler.

 

[Craig Johnston]

same shit different smell

 

[Twizzle]

Joshy, hands down

 

[El Diablo]

I don't know who is worse Slothfield,Joshy or Weedler.

Brent Read and the other two NRL journo's from The Australian are about the only decent ones from News Ltd

SMH are usually OK apart from Weedler

Unfortunately they (and what they write) reflect their broader readership. And this is not necessarily anti-bogan comment....there's something in many people that draws them simplistic analyses of complex situations. Just like in Federal politics people like to be told that 'it's that guy's fault'.

Off topic: while discussing useless, dumb journalists, it reminded me of Channel Nine's news. They were reporting about some fire in Adelaide, and the reporter said (I don't remember exactly what he said, but this is a paraphrased summation of his wording):

"The fires are still burning within the parameters of the property."

*sigh*


On topic: I wasn't too keen on Arthur tbh. Junior or not, and disciplined or not, I felt he was a big risk (so was Taylor, but at least he has some sort of record at Head Coach level).

However, if the players are happy with his appointment and happy to play for him, it can only be good.

Hooper and Chewbecca are scum as well.
