I’ll just leave this here…


Internal review by fresh eyes not aligned to anyone. Who would have thought. Perhaps not all the players are sweet with JA playing. No mention in the doc specifically about him but let’s not beat around the bush here.

How does this shit get released on the eve of an important game? I thought the club had move past this sort of rubbish…
Hooper indicated the report got sent to board members and some stakeholders / sponsors. One of them would have leaked it.

You do realise that Brown was reporting on pathways. So U14s to U18s ?

BTW if anyone wants to play the nepotism game with Jake at Harrold Matts and S G Ball, please look up where Jake’s team finished in Matts and then in Ball, then post it here.

Not just 14-18s. The report also included things about senior players.

Is that Braith or Barrett from Fox Sports?

Information from within the club was leaked to them. Of course they are going to release it. My beef isn't with Fox Sports.

well mine is, the report is 2 weeks old and they release it on the eve of a final

these are people who have been known to pay their sources and even tap phones to get a story, bottom feeders

Have you seen the report? .... cos the article from Fox actually doesnt suggest its about NRL apart from the bit where they tey to label it about coach n son, but thats not saying its in the report.

The article mentions a disconnect between juniors and NRL, but thats all about NRL.

You are just assuming that Fox sat on a story for 2 weeks.

I'd suggest that isn't likely unless they were instructed to do so. Thats typically how it works.

so they may have if they were instructed to do so ? you'll get splinters

agreed they may have and yes I'm making that assumption based on their history, but they also have a history of sitting on stories for a lot longer than 2 weeks and posting them on the eve of finals, normally player scandals, and they have done it repetitively

I'd say all of those stories that they've sat on would have come with clear instructions from the source about when they can be released...and that would typically be during a period of maximum impact.

For someone so against the media, you show and fundamental lack of understanding about how it works.
