This is a world where Mark Gasnier and Braith Anasta work TOGETHER on TV.

But Gasnier and Anasta had far more superior NRL careers to Beau (both won premierships and played rep football for both state and country)...and that's all that matters in sports media in this country. If you are someone who has neither played the game nor reached a very high level in the sport you played in, it is nearly impossible to get a sports broadcasting job in this country (compared to USA, where most of their sports broadcasters are people who have studied journalism and broadcasting in university (i.e. they have the qualifications)). This is especially true for sports like cricket, where 99% of commentators are all ex-international players who had a long, distinguished career and only a small % like Jim Maxwell, Harsha Bhogle never played the game (let alone at a high level). Just take a look at the Ch9 commentary team and you'll see what I mean

Didn't the footy show punt Matty after the girl from NZ went public?

One can only hope the same happens with this bloke.

I know he's stood down on his own accord but there has to be a 4 Corners report and feigned outrage from the anti-RL community before he can get the punt. Johns and Ryan have both played up on their wives. Morally wrong but not a criminal act.

Watch the Moral Majority run with this as indicative of RL culture on the eve of the finals.

The Matty Johns show is funny so i fail to see how Beau Ryan would fit in

He might want to be the fourth pannellist alongside Fletch, Hindy and Tallis.

Although given Fletch and Hindy's rise over the past year, I don't think there will be any room for Beau to showcase his talent.

Him being funny has always been dependent on him going to western Sydney somewhere and finding some strange characters to make it funny. All Beau does is chase them with a microphone and try and get a reaction and if that fails he finds an old lady to kiss him(Reg Reagens playbook). He ripped matty Johns off massively.

From the bold part, it looks like Beau stood himself down and not the network, although you can never be sure.

Either way, Beau's career is.....screwed. After signing with Ch9 after retiring last year at only 29, he was well set up for life with Gyngell giving him a very comfortable, well-paying job after a somewhat average NRL career. Not to mention scoring gigs in musicals like Aladdin (which is where this affair occurred) with no background in theatre/performing arts vs. people who I've personally known who have been involved with performing arts and stage productions for many years and still can't score gigs of that level of magnitude....Beau can consider himself VERY fortunate that his media profile opened the door to such avenues as that, and producing music on the ARIA charts (with Justice Crew) etc. etc.

And as I've said before in the past, Beau doesn't have the versatility of Matt Johns to attract gigs from multiple networks. His peak on TFS is behind him. His best work was the "Beau Knows" segments he did was in the early years of the show (2009-11) after replacing Matty. And I don't think most of the audience he appeals to (younger females) are going to look at his clean-cut, charming personality the same way after this.

It's going to be interesting to see if the panel will talk about Beau on the upcoming Thursday night's Footy Show, or are they just going to pretend that he doesn't exist and nothing happened.

:lol: this post made me laugh. Like we're actually going to the effort of chronicling Beau Ryan's f**king media career?!

Be cool nick, that's just taker's gimmick.

Where as some people are experts on Junior Footy or International Footy, taker has the media side of things covered.
